Description
GE IC697PWR711 90-70 Series Redundant Power Supply Module
Product Overview
The GE IC697PWR711 is a high-reliability 90-70 Series Redundant Power Supply Module designed to deliver stable and uninterrupted power to GE’s industrial automation systems. Engineered as a core component of the 90-70 PLC platform, this module ensures continuous operation of CPU, I/O, and communication modules in mission-critical applications. As part of the IC697 Series, the IC697PWR711 integrates seamlessly with other 90-70 components, providing redundant power support to minimize downtime in industries such as power generation, oil & gas, and manufacturing.
Featuring a rugged industrial design, the GE IC697PWR711 converts incoming 100–240 V AC power into regulated 24 V DC output, with a maximum capacity of 75 W. Its redundant architecture allows parallel operation with another IC697PWR711 module, ensuring fault tolerance: if one module fails, the other assumes full load without interrupting system operation. The module’s advanced power factor correction (PFC) and overvoltage/overcurrent protection mechanisms safeguard connected equipment from electrical disturbances, while real-time diagnostic feedback via LED indicators simplifies maintenance.
In automation ecosystems, the IC697PWR711 serves as a critical backbone for reliable power distribution. Its wide input voltage range (85–264 V AC) and compatibility with global power grids make it suitable for international deployments, while the compact form factor (228.6 mm × 177.8 mm × 76.2 mm) optimizes space in control panels. By combining high-efficiency power conversion with robust redundancy, this module enhances system availability and reduces the risk of unplanned outages in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features and Advantages
Redundant Power Architecture: The IC697PWR711 supports true hot-swappable redundancy, allowing two modules to operate in parallel. This design eliminates single points of failure, ensuring continuous power supply even if one module fails, which is critical for 24/7 industrial operations.
Wide Input Voltage Range: With compatibility from 85 to 264 V AC, the module adapts to fluctuating power grids in different regions, reducing the need for external voltage regulators and simplifying global deployments.
High Efficiency and Reliability: The module’s 90% power conversion efficiency minimizes heat generation and energy waste, while built-in overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection safeguards connected equipment from electrical faults.
Real-Time Diagnostics: LED indicators for power status, overload, and fault conditions provide immediate visual feedback, enabling quick troubleshooting. The module also communicates diagnostic data to the PLC via the 90-70 Series bus, supporting remote monitoring.
Rugged Industrial Design: Engineered to withstand harsh environments, the IC697PWR711 operates reliably from -20°C to +70°C and resists vibration (up to 5 g) and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for offshore platforms, refineries, and heavy manufacturing sites.
Easy Integration and Maintenance: The module installs directly into 90-70 Series chassis without additional hardware, and its hot-swappable design allows replacement without powering down the system, reducing maintenance downtime.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the GE IC697PWR711, verify the input power source (85–264 V AC) and ensure the 90-70 Series chassis is properly grounded. Mount the module in a designated power slot within the chassis, securing it with captive screws. Connect the input power cable using the provided terminal block, ensuring proper wire gauging (10–14 AWG). For redundant configurations, install a second IC697PWR711 in parallel, following GE’s wiring diagrams to ensure correct redundancy setup.

Maintenance Suggestions:
- Routine Inspections: Monthly visual checks of LED indicators to confirm normal operation (green power light, no fault alerts). Use the PLC’s diagnostic software to monitor power supply health and load distribution in redundant setups.
- Cleaning: Quarterly cleaning of the module’s vents with compressed air to prevent dust accumulation, which could affect heat dissipation. Ensure the control panel’s ventilation system is unobstructed.
- Redundancy Testing: Annually test redundant operation by simulating a module failure (e.g., disconnecting one module) to verify the remaining module assumes full load without system disruption.
- Spare Parts Management: Store spare IC697PWR711 modules in a controlled environment (10–30°C, <50% humidity) to ensure rapid replacement during failures. Rotate spares periodically to maintain viability.
