1. Product Description
The IC698PSA350D serves as the backbone of RX3i rack systems, providing stable 24 VDC power to critical components like the IC698CPU364 controller and IC698MDL655 I/O modules. Key features include:
- Dual Voltage Flexibility: Automatically adapts to global power grids (AC/DC), reducing inventory complexity.
- Redundancy Support: Pair with another IC698PSA350D (via the IC698PSM001 manifold) for 1+1 redundancy, ensuring 99.99% uptime in mission-critical systems.
- Advanced Protection: Overvoltage (28–30 VDC trip), overcurrent (16–18 A limit), and short-circuit protection with auto-recovery.
- Compact Design: Fits 10/14-slot RX3i racks (e.g., IC698CHS001) with front-panel LEDs for real-time status monitoring (power OK, overload, input loss).

3. Advantages and Features
- Reliability: MTBF exceeding 500,000 hours (per GE testing), with conformal coating to resist dust and humidity.
- Energy Efficiency: 90% efficiency reduces energy costs by 15% compared to legacy 80% efficiency modules.
- Ease of Integration: Plug-and-play design with pre-wired terminals for quick installation in RX3i racks.
- Redundancy Performance: In a 1+1 setup, modules share load evenly (7.3 A each), switching to full load (14.6 A) seamlessly if one fails.
4. Application Areas and Use Cases
Industries:
- Manufacturing (assembly lines, robotics)
- Energy (power plants, oil refineries)
- Water/Wastewater (pump stations, treatment plants)
Case Study:
A German automotive factory reduced downtime by 40% using the IC698PSA350D in redundant mode for its welding robot racks. The module’s auto-recovery from short circuits and real-time status LEDs minimized troubleshooting time, improving production efficiency.

6. Selection Guidelines
- Compatibility: Ensure rack compatibility (e.g., RX3i 10-slot) and check controller power requirements (e.g., IC698CPU364 uses 50 W).
- Environment: For extreme temperatures (-25°C–70°C), upgrade to the IC698PSA350E (conformal coated).
- Budget: Refurbished IC698PSA350D units (e.g., from Shanxi Xinyeda) offer 30% cost savings without compromising performance.
7. Precautions
- Wiring: Use 14–16 AWG wires for input/output; ground the FG terminal to prevent EMC issues.
- Ventilation: Maintain 5 cm clearance around the module for airflow—avoid mounting in enclosed, high-heat spaces.
- Firmware: Update via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition to enable remote monitoring and fault prediction.
