Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Direct OEM Form-Factor Fit – Slots directly into the IC697 rack power supply bay with no adapter or modification required; zero integration risk.
- Wide AC Input Range – Accepts both 120 VAC and 240 VAC, making it suitable for North American and international panel builds without separate SKUs.
- Regulated 5 VDC Bus – Tight voltage regulation protects CPU and I/O modules from transient-induced faults, reducing nuisance trips and unplanned downtime.
- Proven MTBF in Harsh Environments – Designed to GE’s industrial-grade thermal and vibration standards; widely deployed in plants with 10+ year continuous run records.
- Isolated Auxiliary Output – Provides clean 24 VDC for powering field sensors or relay coils directly from the PLC rack, simplifying panel wiring.
- Drop-In Replacement – Fully backward-compatible with existing Series 90-70 installations; no firmware or configuration changes required on swap.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC697PWR711 power a fully loaded 9-slot Series 90-70 rack?
A: The IC697PWR711 provides 3.4 A at 5 VDC. A fully loaded rack with high-density I/O or communications modules may exceed this budget. Calculate your rack’s total 5 VDC current draw from the module datasheets and consider the IC697PWR724 (higher-capacity variant) if the budget is tight.
Q: Is this module compatible with the IC697 rack used in older GE Fanuc installations from the 1990s?
A: Yes. The Series 90-70 platform maintained backplane compatibility across its production life. The IC697PWR711 is a direct drop-in for racks manufactured from the early 1990s through end-of-production.
Q: What happens if the input voltage drops below spec?
A: The module includes under-voltage protection. The PLC will execute a controlled shutdown rather than a hard fault, preserving program state in battery-backed CPU memory.
Q: Do you provide a warranty on this module?
A: Yes. Konmask provides a 90-day functional warranty on all modules. If a unit fails under normal operating conditions within the warranty period, we replace it at no charge. Contact support@konmask.com to initiate a claim.
Q: Can I use this module in a 24 VDC-only panel?
A: No. The IC697PWR711 requires 120 VAC or 240 VAC input. For DC-input power supply requirements, refer to the IC697PWR748 (125 VDC input variant).
