Description
GE IC693PWR322J Power Supply Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693PWR322J is a power supply module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems, a widely used platform in industrial automation. This module provides stable power to other Series 90-30 components, such as CPUs, I/O modules, and communication cards, ensuring they operate reliably. It acts as the “power source” of the PLC system, making it essential for keeping automated processes running without interruptions.
As part of the IC693 Series, the GE IC693PWR322J fits into Series 90-30 backplane racks like the IC693CHS393. It connects to the rack’s power slot, converting incoming AC voltage into the DC voltages needed by other modules. The IC693PWR322J accepts 100–240 V AC input and provides two key outputs: 5 V DC (for logic components) and 24 V DC (for field devices like sensors and actuators). This dual-output design eliminates the need for separate power supplies, simplifying system setup.
Built to handle tough industrial conditions, the GE IC693PWR322J operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity up to 95% (non-condensing). It resists dust and vibrations, working reliably in factories, automotive plants, and food processing facilities. Even though GE no longer manufactures it, the GE IC693PWR322J remains vital for maintaining older Series 90-30 systems. It avoids the need for full system upgrades, saving businesses time and money while ensuring their automation infrastructure stays operational.

Main features and advantages
Stable dual outputs: The IC693PWR322J provides both 5 V DC and 24 V DC, covering the power needs of all Series 90-30 components. This means one module can power a CPU (5 V) and a sensor (24 V) at the same time, reducing the number of parts in the system.
Wide input range: It accepts 100–240 V AC input. This makes it usable in regions with different electrical standards (e.g., 110 V in the U.S. or 220 V in Europe) without needing adjustments.
Built-in protection: The module includes overcurrent and short-circuit protection. If a component draws too much current (e.g., a shorted motor), the IC693PWR322J shuts down temporarily to prevent damage. It resets automatically once the issue is fixed.
Rugged design: The IC693PWR322J works in hot, cold, or damp environments. It handles dust and vibrations, making it reliable in factories, outdoor installations, and other harsh settings. This durability reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.
Easy to install: It fits directly into Series 90-30 backplane racks. No special tools are needed—just slide it into the power slot until it clicks. Wiring is simple: connect the AC input cable to the module’s terminals, and it’s ready to use.
Compatibility with legacy systems: The IC693PWR322J works with all Series 90-30 modules. This means businesses can keep using their existing components instead of replacing them, saving money and avoiding production stops.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Check that the IC693PWR322J fits your Series 90-30 rack (like the IC693CHS393). Ensure the rack has a dedicated power slot. Turn off all power to the system before installing. Slide the module into the power slot until it locks into place. Connect the AC input cable (100–240 V) to the module’s input terminals. Tighten the terminal screws to 5 lb-in to secure the wires. Turn on the AC power. Check the module’s green LED is on—this means it’s working.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693PWR322J monthly. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to prevent overheating. Check the input cable connections to make sure they’re tight—loose wires can cause power fluctuations. If the green LED turns off or flickers, turn off the AC power, remove the module, and reinsert it to fix possible loose connections. If the issue continues, replace the module with a spare. Store a spare IC693PWR322J in a dry, cool area (10–30°C) to replace quickly if needed, minimizing downtime.
Application fields
The GE IC693PWR322J is used in any industry that relies on Series 90-30 PLC systems:
- Manufacturing: In automotive plants, it powers the CPU and I/O modules that control assembly line robots. Its stable 5 V output ensures the robots follow precise movements, while the 24 V output runs sensors that check part quality.
- Food processing: In bottling facilities, it provides power to conveyor belt controllers (5 V) and filling valve sensors (24 V). Its ability to handle washdowns and humidity keeps the system running in wet, clean environments.
- Water treatment: In wastewater plants, it powers pump control modules (5 V) and level sensors (24 V). The module’s rugged design withstands the damp, chemically exposed conditions common in these facilities.
- Material handling: In warehouses, it powers conveyor system CPUs (5 V) and barcode scanner sensors (24 V). Its reliable output ensures packages move smoothly from sorting to shipping areas.
