Description
GE IC693PCM301 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693PCM301 is a power supply module designed specifically for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. Its primary role is to convert incoming AC power into stable DC power, supplying energy to other modules in the PLC rack—such as CPUs, input/output modules, and communication modules. This stable power is critical for keeping automation systems running smoothly in industrial settings.
The GE IC693PCM301 works seamlessly with Series 90-30 racks like the IC693CHS391M (10-slot) and IC693CHS398H (16-slot). It connects directly to the rack’s backplane, ensuring power flows evenly to all installed modules, including the IC693CPU350 (CPU) and IC693MDL240 (discrete input module).
Built to handle tough industrial conditions, the GE IC693PCM301 operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and can withstand humidity between 5% and 95% without condensation. Its compact size (110 mm × 80 mm × 40 mm) and light weight (0.5 kg) make it easy to fit into control cabinets. The module includes protection features like overload and short-circuit safeguards, preventing damage to connected components. Whether in factories, power plants, or water treatment facilities, the GE IC693PCM301 provides reliable power for Series 90-30 PLC systems.

Main Features and Advantages
Stable power output: The GE IC693PCM301 delivers consistent 5 VDC (5 A) and 24 VDC (1.5 A) power. This stability ensures that sensitive components like CPUs and communication modules work without interruptions, reducing the risk of system errors.
Wide input range: It accepts 100–240 VAC input, making it suitable for use in regions with different electrical standards. This eliminates the need for voltage converters, simplifying installation in global industrial setups.
Built-in protection: The module includes overload and short-circuit protection. If the current exceeds safe levels or a short occurs, it shuts down temporarily to protect connected modules. This feature is vital in factories where electrical faults can damage expensive equipment.
Durable design: The GE IC693PCM301 is built to last in harsh environments. It handles high temperatures, humidity, and vibrations, making it reliable in dusty factories, outdoor power stations, or water treatment plants.
Easy installation: The module slides into any slot in Series 90-30 racks. It connects to the rack’s backplane without extra wiring, so setup takes minimal time. Front-panel LEDs show power status, making it easy to check if it’s working correctly.
Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC693PCM301, turn off all power to the PLC rack. Check that the rack is compatible—Series 90-30 racks like IC693CHS391M work well. Align the module with an empty slot, slide it in until it clicks, and secure it with the front screw. Connect the AC power cord to the terminal block, ensuring correct wiring (live, neutral, ground) to avoid electrical issues.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect GE IC693PCM301 monthly. Check the front LEDs—green means power is flowing correctly, red indicates a problem. Dust the module with a dry cloth to prevent overheating. Every three months, tighten the terminal block screws to ensure good connections. If the module shuts down due to overload, reduce the number of connected devices or check for short circuits before restarting.
