Main Features and Advantages
Extended Memory Backup
The IC693ACC302B’s 15Ah lithium battery provides up to 75 months of memory retention for Series 90-30 and 90-70 CPUs, significantly longer than standard backup batteries. This ensures critical process data and program logic remain intact during prolonged power outages, eliminating the risk of system reconfiguration delays or data loss—a key advantage in 24/7 operations like power plants or semiconductor fabrication facilities.
Rugged Industrial Design
With a flame-retardant ABS housing and IP20 protection, the module resists dust, oil, and minor impacts, making it suitable for harsh environments. Its wide temperature range (-20°C to +70°C during storage) ensures reliability in extreme climates, while the built-in fuse safeguards against electrical faults, enhancing system safety.
Easy Integration and Maintenance
The IC693ACC302B mounts directly onto DIN rails using its compact form factor, requiring minimal space in control cabinets. The pre-wired 2-pin connector simplifies installation, reducing setup time. Additionally, the battery’s 7-year lifespan 1 minimizes replacement frequency, while hot-swap capability allows for maintenance without system shutdown—a critical feature for industries where downtime is costly.
Compatibility Across GE Platforms
Designed for Series 90-30, 90-70, and PACSystems RX3i, the IC693ACC302B ensures seamless integration with legacy and modern GE PLC systems. It pairs with CPUs like IC693CPU374 and IC697CPU780, as well as power supplies such as IC693PWR330, creating a unified automation ecosystem.
Application Fields
The GE IC693ACC302B excels in industries where uninterrupted data retention is essential:
- Manufacturing: Preserves program logic in automotive assembly lines during brief power interruptions, preventing conveyor belt misalignment or robotic arm malfunctions.
- Energy: Maintains SCADA system configurations in power plants, ensuring continuous monitoring of generators and substations during grid instability.
- Water Treatment: Retains historical data of pump cycles and chemical dosing sequences in wastewater facilities, supporting regulatory compliance and predictive maintenance.
- Pharmaceuticals: Protects sterile process parameters in cleanrooms, avoiding costly batch failures due to power fluctuations.
- Food and Beverage: Guards recipe formulations and packaging machine settings in production lines, minimizing downtime during routine maintenance or unexpected outages.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Verify the CPU model (e.g., IC693CPU323 or IC697CPU780) and ensure the control cabinet is powered off. Align the IC693ACC302B’s connector with the CPU’s battery port and secure it with the retaining clip. Route the 24AWG stranded wire away from high-voltage cables to avoid interference.
Maintenance suggestions: Conduct quarterly visual inspections to check for loose connections or physical damage. Use a multimeter to test the battery’s output voltage (should remain ≥3VDC). Replace the IC693ACC302B every 7 years 1 or when the backup duration drops below 75 months. Store spare units in a dry, cool environment (20°C ±5°C) to extend shelf life.
