GE Fanuc IC697PWR710F – AC Power Supply Module for Series 90-70 PLC Racks

The GE Fanuc IC697PWR710F is the standard AC power supply for Series 90-70 racks (IC697 family), designed to deliver stable backplane power for CPUs, I/O, and communication modules. From my experience, it’s the “fit-and-forget” type of PSU—once it’s in a healthy rack with clean AC and proper grounding, it typically runs for years with minimal attention. You might notice that maintenance teams like it because installation is straightforward and there are no field I/O terminals to fuss over—everything goes through the backplane.

Key Features

• Designed for IC697/Series 90-70 racks – Drops into the dedicated power-supply bay on 90-70 chassis; no DIN-rail kits or adapters.
• AC input (120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) – Suitable for most plant mains; typically used in control cabinets on factory floors and utilities.
• Backplane power rails – Provides the +5 VDC logic rail and ±12 VDC auxiliary rails to the rack (no external field I/O terminals).
• Status LEDs up front – Quick visual check of power-good and fault status; helps with first-line troubleshooting.
• Protection and stability – Overload/short-circuit protections are standard on this family, helping safeguard rack electronics.
• Service-friendly – From what we see in the field, module replacement is quick and usually doesn’t require rewiring—just safe power-down and swap.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• IC697PWR711 – Alternate AC power supply variant for Series 90-70; often selected when specific capacity revisions are required.
• IC697PWR712 – DC-input power supply option for sites with 24 VDC infrastructure rather than AC mains.
• IC697CHS750 / IC697CHS790 – 5-slot and 9-slot racks, respectively; the IC697PWR710F mounts in the dedicated PSU position.
• IC697CPU772 (example) – Series 90-70 CPU that relies on the IC697 backplane rails provided by the PWR710F.

One thing I appreciate is how predictable the load planning is on these systems. In many cases, a quick module-by-module power budget check is enough to confirm whether the PWR710F is a drop-in match or if a different revision/variant is the better choice.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Keep within 0–60 °C and non-condensing humidity. Provide adequate ventilation around the rack; avoid direct heat sources.
• Wiring – Supply from a dedicated, properly protected branch circuit. Use appropriately rated copper conductors and bond the rack/chassis to protective earth.
• Mounting – Power down the system, slide the module into the rack’s PSU bay, secure the hardware, then bring AC power back only after all covers are in place.
• Safety – Isolate mains before handling. Verify absence of voltage. Only trained personnel should replace modules.
• Routine care – Periodically blow out dust with dry air, check front LEDs during walkdowns, and re-seat the module if you encounter intermittent power-good indications.

A maintenance lead we work with mentioned that simply keeping the cabinet clean and ensuring a solid earth bond “eliminated the random brown-outs” they saw on older racks. That seems to be true across most 90-70 installations.

Quality & Certifications

• Certifications: CE marking and UL/cUL (typical for Series 90-70 modules)
• Manufacturing standards: Produced under ISO 9001 quality systems (typical for GE Fanuc-era hardware)
• Warranty: 365-day seller warranty

Note: The IC697 platform is a legacy series; compliance details can vary by revision. If your site requires a specific certificate set, we can verify the exact markings on the IC697PWR710F unit prior to shipment.
