The IC697PWR720C occupies a single slot in a Series 90-70 or VME integrator rack to provide stable, regulated DC power. This Power Supply Adapter (PSA) module manages high-current demands, delivering up to 18 Amps on the +5V bus to support advanced processors and communication coprocessors. By adhering to the VME standard C.1, the IC697PWR720C ensures seamless integration into multi-vendor VME environments, serving as the electrical heart for large-scale distributed control systems (DCS) and high-speed manufacturing lines.
The IC697PWR720C utilizes a precision-regulated output architecture to protect sensitive logic circuits from voltage fluctuations.

The IC697PWR720C provides several critical mechanical and electrical benefits for industrial systems:
High-Current Logic Support: Many Series 90-70 CPUs and specialized modules consume significant power. The 18A capacity at 5VDC allows for fully populated racks without voltage sagging, preventing unexpected system resets.
Dual Rack Synchronization: This module supports dual rack operations via the IC697CBL700 expansion cable. This configuration enables redundant power setups or expanded I/O architectures while maintaining tight voltage regulation across both chassis.
VME Standard Compatibility: The design follows the VME standard C.1, which allows this power supply to operate within 3rd-party VME integrator racks. This flexibility proves invaluable when mixing GE Fanuc logic with specialized VME-based hardware.
Integrated Diagnostics: A front-panel LED provides immediate visual confirmation of logic power health. This allows maintenance teams to distinguish between a logic-side failure and an incoming AC power issue instantly.
We supply the IC697PWR720C in 100% Brand New and Original factory packaging. While the Series 90-70 line is technically discontinued by the OEM, we provide authentic, unused stock that meets the original factory specifications. Choosing new-in-box (NIB) hardware eliminates the risk of capacitor drying or terminal corrosion found in used or "refurbished" units, ensuring maximum uptime for your critical infrastructure.
Can I use the IC697PWR720C in a dual-power redundant configuration?
Yes. The module supports dual-rack operations, which allows you to distribute the load or provide a secondary power path to ensure system continuity in the event of a single PSA failure.
What is the significance of the "C" suffix in the part number?
The "C" suffix represents a specific hardware revision. GE Fanuc uses these suffixes to denote internal component improvements or firmware updates that enhance the module's performance while remaining fully backward compatible with the IC697PWR720 series.
Does this module require a jumper for specific logic types?
Yes, a jumper is required when the system logic is set to negative. Please consult your specific rack wiring diagram to ensure the jumper is correctly positioned for your logic configuration.
Which cables are compatible for expanding power to a second rack?
The IC697CBL700 Power Supply Expansion cable is specifically designed to interface with the IC697PWR720C for dual-rack power distribution.
