Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the IC697PWR724 is unavailable or cost-prohibitive, the following models are verified drop-in or functionally equivalent replacements for Series 90-70 racks:
- IC697PWR711 — GE Series 90-70, 120 VAC input, 55 W; suitable for lighter-load racks
- IC697PWR748 — GE Series 90-70, 24 VDC input; use when AC input is unavailable
- IC697PWR720 — Earlier revision of the 724; functionally compatible, verify firmware revision
- IC697PWR730 — Higher-capacity 120 W variant; backward-compatible with 90-70 racks requiring more headroom
- Third-party equivalents — Select industrial PSU vendors offer form-fit-function replacements; contact Konmask for vetted options
Note: Always verify rack slot compatibility and total load calculation before substituting power supply modules.
Why Choose the Original Model

- CPUs: IC697CPU731, IC697CPU771, IC697CPU781, IC697CPU782, IC697CPU788, IC697CPU789
- I/O Modules: All standard Series 90-70 discrete and analog I/O modules
- Communication: IC697CMM711, IC697CMM741, IC697BEM711, and other 90-70 network modules
- Not compatible with: Series 90-30, VersaMax, PACSystems RX3i/RX7i (different form factor and bus)
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct power supply for your Series 90-70 system:
- Step 1 — Calculate total rack load: Sum the current draw of all installed modules (CPU + I/O + comms). Refer to GE datasheet GFK-0356 for per-module consumption values.
- Step 2 — Match input voltage: IC697PWR724 requires 120/240 VAC. If your panel supplies 24 VDC, select IC697PWR748 instead.
- Step 3 — Confirm rack slots: The PWR724 occupies one dedicated power supply slot; verify your rack model has a compatible slot.
- Step 4 — Check redundancy requirements: For redundant power configurations, two PSU modules and a compatible rack are required.
- Step 5 — Evaluate refurbished vs. new: For non-critical spares, tested refurbished units offer significant cost savings. For critical uptime applications, request new or factory-reconditioned stock.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use IC697PWR711 instead of IC697PWR724?
A: Yes, if your total rack load is within the 55 W rating of the PWR711. Calculate your load first — the PWR724’s 90 W headroom is needed for fully populated racks.
Q: Is IC697PWR724 compatible with PACSystems RX7i?
A: No. The RX7i uses a different backplane and power supply form factor. You need IC698PSA100 or IC698PSA350 for RX7i systems.
Q: Can I run two IC697PWR724 modules for redundancy?
A: Yes, with a compatible redundant-power rack. Consult GE documentation GFK-0356 for wiring and configuration details.
Q: Do you supply test reports with refurbished units?
A: Yes. Functional test reports are available upon request for all refurbished stock.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typically 5–10 business days for sourced units. Contact us for urgent requirements.
