Description
GE IC693PWR331 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693PWR331 is a high-capacity power supply module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It serves as the primary energy source, converting incoming DC voltage into stable outputs that power CPUs, I/O modules, and communication devices. With a compact design and robust performance, this module ensures reliable operation in industrial environments.
Rated for 24 VDC nominal input, the GE IC693PWR331 supports a wide input range of 2–30 VDC (with an 8 VDC minimum for startup) . It delivers three distinct outputs: 5 VDC (30 W max), 24 VDC relay power (15 W max), and isolated 24 VDC (20 W max), totaling 30 W of combined power . These outputs cater to diverse needs, such as powering logic circuits (5 VDC) and external devices like sensors and actuators (24 VDC). The module integrates seamlessly with Series 90-30 racks (e.g., IC693CHS391M) and must be installed in the leftmost slot for proper functionality .
Built for durability, the GE IC693PWR331 operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and withstands 5–95% humidity (non-condensing) . Its RS485 serial port enables diagnostic monitoring and communication with external systems, while CE and UL certifications ensure compliance with safety standards . Whether in manufacturing lines, power plants, or water treatment facilities, this module provides stable power to maintain PLC system continuity.
