GE Fanuc IC697PWR711K – AC Power Supply for Series 90-70 Racks
The IC697PWR711K is the AC power supply module for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 systems. It mounts in the left-most power slot of an IC697 baseplate and delivers the regulated backplane rails your CPU and I/O depend on. From my experience, it’s the go-to option when you need a reliable, universal AC input supply for legacy 90-70 racks and many RX7i upgrades that continue to use the IC697 chassis.

Key Features
- Designed for IC697/Series 90-70 racks – Installs in the dedicated power slot, feeding the backplane rails used by CPU, communication, and I/O modules.
- Universal AC input – Typically operates on 120/240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, making it practical for global sites or mixed-facility standards.
- Backplane DC rails (+5 V and ±12 V) – Provides the regulated voltages required by the 90-70 architecture; capacity selection is usually based on total rack load.
- Protection and status indication – Front LEDs and internal protection (overload/overtemp) help technicians diagnose power conditions quickly.
- Stable, proven hardware – In many cases, the IC697PWR711K has been running continuously for years in steel, water, power, and process plants without surprises.
- Field-friendly maintenance – Standard wiring and a straightforward replacement process (power-down required) minimize downtime.
One thing I appreciate is how forgiving the module is with input power quality. You might notice fewer nuisance trips compared to third-party drop-ins, especially on older panels with variable mains quality.

“We swapped in an IC697PWR711K during a weekend outage on a 12-slot rack. Wiring and start‑up took under an hour, and the CPU booted clean with stable 5V. No nuisance trips since.” — Maintenance Supervisor, water treatment (typical field feedback)
Installation & Maintenance
- Panel and cabinet – Mount the IC697 rack in an industrial cabinet with adequate ventilation; maintain clearance above/below for airflow.
- Wiring – Use appropriately rated AC conductors and a dedicated protective earth. A local disconnect and circuit breaker are typically required.
- Load budgeting – Tally +5 V and ±12 V consumption of all modules. If load is near limit, consider IC697PWR713 or splitting modules across racks.
- Hot-swap – Not hot-swappable. Power down the system before insertion or removal.
- Routine checks – Inspect terminals for tightness, verify LED status, and keep vents dust-free. A light vacuum or dry air blow-out every 6–12 months typically helps.
- Firmware – No user firmware on the power supply; keep CPU/comm module firmware current for system stability.
Quality & Certifications
- Certifications – Typically CE and UL/cUL for industrial control equipment; RoHS status varies by production date/revision. Documentation can be provided on request.
- Manufacturer status – Series 90-70 is legacy; factory coverage may vary by region. We support with tested units and documented QA.
- Our warranty – 365 days repair/replace coverage.
