IC695PSA040 GE Fanuc 40W Power Module
Product Introduction
The IC695PSA040 from GE Fanuc is a compact and reliable power supply designed specifically for the RX3i PACSystem platform. This module delivers 40 watts of total output power, making it suitable for small to medium-sized control systems. It accepts a wide range of input voltages, including 85 to 264 VAC or 100 to 300 VDC, which provides flexibility for various industrial power environments.
Furthermore, this power supply generates three distinct output voltages to support different system needs. It provides a +5.1 VDC output for logic circuits, a +24 VDC relay output for driving external relays, and a +3.3 VDC output used internally by the backplane and attached modules. The IC695PSA040 also features a non-isolated ON/OFF switch located behind a hinged door to prevent accidental operation.
Technical Specifications
The IC695PSA040 operates with a nominal voltage of 120/240 VAC or 125 VDC. Its input range extends from 85 to 264 VAC and 100 to 300 VDC, accommodating global power standards. At full load, the module draws 70 watts of input power. The output voltage ranges are precisely regulated: 5.0 to 5.2 VDC for the 5.1V rail, 19.2 to 28.8 VDC for the 24V relay output, and 3.1 to 3.5 VDC for the internal 3.3V supply.
Meanwhile, the output current capacities are equally well-defined. The 5.1 VDC output supports up to 6 amperes, the 24 VDC relay output provides up to 1.6 amperes, and the 3.3 VDC internal output can deliver up to 9 amperes. Additionally, the module provides 250 VAC continuous isolation from input to backplane, with a 1500 VAC rating for one minute, ensuring robust protection for connected equipment.
LED Indicators and Diagnostics
The IC695PSA040 includes four status LED indicators for real-time diagnostics. These LEDs display Power, P/S Fault, Over Temperature, and Overload conditions. Consequently, technicians can quickly identify operational issues without external testing equipment. The power supply also includes a manual ON/OFF switch, though this switch does not disconnect the incoming AC/DC power. Instead, it enables or disables the output stages, and a projecting tab helps prevent unintentional switching.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
This power supply is designed for panel or rack mounting within an industrial enclosure. It supports operation in temperatures ranging from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, with storage temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The module also tolerates relative humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing. For vibration resistance, it meets standard IEC 60068-2-6 requirements, ensuring reliable performance in typical factory floor environments.
Installation Guidelines
The IC695PSA040 is compatible exclusively with the RX3i universal backplane. It is important to note that you cannot mix this power supply with other RX3i power supply models on the same backplane. Moreover, if your system requires more than 40 watts of power, you must install additional high-power modules on expansion backplanes, as the IC695PSA040 does not support redundancy or increased capacity through parallel operation.
For installation, first ensure that the backplane is securely mounted and grounded. Next, slide the IC695PSA040 into the designated leftmost slot of the universal backplane. Secure the module with the retaining screws, and then connect the input power wiring to the terminal block. Finally, verify the LED indicators to confirm proper operation before powering up the remaining RX3i modules.
Packaging and Shipping
Each IC695PSA040 unit ships in a sturdy anti-static package to prevent damage during transit. The box includes the power supply module, a terminal block connector, and a quick-start installation guide. All shipments are handled through trusted carriers, including FedEx, UPS, and DHL, with tracking numbers provided for every order.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the IC695PSA040 be used with a standard RX3i backplane?
Yes, the IC695PSA040 is designed for the RX3i universal backplane only. It will not function with older series backplanes.
2. What happens if I exceed the 40-watt load capacity?
Exceeding 40 watts can cause the power supply to enter overload protection. In this case, the Overload LED will illuminate, and the unit may shut down to prevent damage.
3. Does the ON/OFF switch disconnect all power?
No, the switch only enables or disables the DC outputs. The input AC or DC power remains present at the terminal block even when the switch is off.
4. Can I install multiple IC695PSA040 units in one rack?
Yes, you can install up to four power supplies per IC695 rack, but they must be placed in separate backplanes or expansion racks. Mixing them on the same backplane is not permitted.
5. What is the typical lifespan of this power supply?
With proper installation and within rated environmental conditions, the IC695PSA040 typically operates for over 50,000 hours before requiring replacement.
