Product Overview
The GE IC693APU301 is a high-reliability Power Supply Module designed as a critical component of GE’s 90-30 Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to deliver stable DC power to PLC racks and field devices, this module ensures consistent operation of industrial control systems in manufacturing, power generation, and process industries. As part of the IC693 Series, the IC693APU301 offers seamless integration with other 90-30 Series components, such as CPU modules and I/O cards, enabling robust and scalable automation solutions.
Featuring a rugged industrial design, the GE IC693APU301 converts 100–240 V AC input to 24 V DC output, supporting up to 3 A of continuous current. Its wide input voltage range and built-in surge protection make it suitable for unstable power environments, while the modular design allows easy installation and replacement. The module’s intelligent thermal management system prevents overheating, and LED indicators provide real-time status feedback for power output and fault detection. With an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C and compliance with industry standards like IEC 61131-2, the IC693APU301 ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial settings, including factories, refineries, and offshore platforms.
In automation ecosystems, the IC693APU301 serves as the power backbone for 90-30 Series PLC systems, maintaining stable voltage levels for critical control components. Its redundant power capability (when paired with another APU301) enhances system resilience, minimizing downtime in mission-critical applications. By combining high-efficiency power conversion with advanced diagnostic features, this module optimizes energy usage and reduces maintenance costs, making it an essential component for reliable industrial automation.
