GE IC697PWR720 Redundant Power Supply Module
Product Overview: GE IC697PWR720
The GE IC697PWR720 redundant power supply module is a high-reliability industrial power solution designed for GE’s 90-70 Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems. As a critical component of this automation platform, the IC697PWR720 delivers stable DC power to PLC racks, ensuring uninterrupted operation of control processors, I/O modules, and communication cards in mission-critical industrial environments. Engineered for redundancy and durability, this module combines advanced power regulation technology with a rugged design to support 24/7 operation in harsh manufacturing, energy, and process control settings.
Featuring a dual-input redundant architecture, the IC697PWR720 accepts 100–240V AC input and provides 24V DC, 7A output (168W) with tight voltage regulation (±1%). Its hot-swappable design allows replacement without system shutdown, minimizing downtime during maintenance or component failure. The module’s built-in overload, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection safeguards connected components, while its high-efficiency switching design (up to 90%) reduces energy loss and heat generation. Compatibility with GE’s 90-70 Series racks (e.g., IC697CHS790D) and compliance with UL 508, CSA C22.2 standards make it a trusted choice for industries requiring reliable power management.
In automation systems, the IC697PWR720 serves as a foundational element, ensuring consistent power delivery to support real-time control and data processing. Its ability to operate in parallel with another IC697PWR720 for full redundancy enhances system reliability, making it essential for applications where downtime is costly, such as turbine control in power plants or continuous production lines.

Main Features and Advantages: GE IC697PWR720
Redundant Power Architecture: The IC697PWR720 supports parallel operation with another module, enabling full redundancy where one power supply assumes the load if the other fails. This feature is critical for maintaining system availability in continuous processes like pharmaceutical manufacturing or oil refining.
Hot-Swappable Design: The module can be replaced while the system is running, eliminating the need for shutdowns. This reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and ensures production continuity in industries where downtime equates to significant losses.
High-Efficiency Power Conversion: With up to 90% efficiency, the IC697PWR720 minimizes energy waste and heat generation, contributing to lower operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint. Its active PFC (Power Factor Correction) complies with international energy standards.
Robust Protection Mechanisms: Built-in overload, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection safeguards the module and connected PLC components from electrical faults. Thermal shutdown functionality prevents damage from excessive heat, ensuring long-term reliability.
Wide Input Voltage Range: The module adapts to global power standards (100–240V AC), eliminating the need for region-specific adapters. This versatility simplifies inventory management in multinational projects and reduces installation complexity.
Application Areas: GE IC697PWR720
The GE IC697PWR720 redundant power supply module is ideally suited for industries that demand reliable and fault-tolerant power management:
- Manufacturing: Powers PLCs in automotive assembly lines, robotic cells, and CNC machines, ensuring consistent operation and minimizing production errors caused by power fluctuations.
- Power Generation: Supports control systems in thermal, hydro, and renewable energy plants, maintaining stable power for turbine control, generator protection, and grid synchronization.
- Oil and Gas: Deployed in refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms to power safety systems, flow control valves, and monitoring equipment in harsh, remote environments.
- Water Treatment: Manages power for pumps, filters, and chemical dosing systems in water/wastewater plants, ensuring continuous operation and regulatory compliance.
- Aerospace and Defense: Used in ground support equipment and military automation systems, where reliable power is non-negotiable for mission-critical operations.

Installation and Maintenance: GE IC697PWR720
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the IC697PWR720, verify the input voltage (100–240V AC) matches the local power supply and ensure the GE 90-70 Series rack is properly grounded. Clean the rack slot and inspect for debris, then slide the module into the designated position, securing it with the provided brackets. Connect the input power cables to the terminal block, ensuring proper phase alignment and torque (1.2–1.5 N·m), and link the output to the rack’s power bus using the integrated connectors. For redundant configurations, install a second IC697PWR720 in parallel as per GE’s wiring diagrams.

Maintenance Recommendations:
- Routine Inspections: Monthly checks include verifying the module’s status LED (green for normal operation), tightening cable connections, and cleaning dust from ventilation slots to maintain thermal performance.
- Load Testing: Quarterly tests using a multimeter ensure the output voltage remains within tolerance (24V DC ±1%). Replace the module if readings fall outside this range.
- Redundancy Verification: Annually test the redundant power path by simulating a power supply failure to ensure seamless failover. Use GE’s Proficy software to monitor module health.
- Environmental Monitoring: Regularly assess ambient temperature to ensure it stays within 0°C–55°C, as higher temperatures may require derating. Install additional cooling if necessary.
