GE IC693PWR321 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693PWR321 is a high-reliability power supply module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to deliver stable DC power in industrial automation systems, the GE IC693PWR321 ensures consistent operation of PLC racks, I/O modules, and field devices in harsh environments. As a core component of the Series 90-30 family, this module integrates advanced power regulation with rugged industrial design, making it indispensable for industries such as manufacturing, power generation, and oil and gas.
Featuring a universal input voltage range (85–264 VAC) and 24 VDC output, the GE IC693PWR321 supports seamless integration into global power systems. Its 150W power rating and 90% efficiency minimize energy consumption, while built-in overcurrent and overvoltage protection safeguard connected components. The module’s compact form factor (101.6 mm × 152.4 mm × 76.2 mm) and lightweight design (0.7 kg) enable easy installation in standard 19″ racks, while its wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) ensures reliability in extreme conditions.
In automation architectures, the GE IC693PWR321 acts as a foundational element, maintaining system stability during voltage fluctuations or transient spikes. Its hot-swappable design allows for maintenance without powering down the PLC system, reducing downtime in critical applications. By combining robust hardware with intelligent diagnostics (via front-panel LED indicators), the module empowers engineers to proactively monitor power health, optimize energy use, and ensure compliance with industrial safety standards.
