Description

The GE Fanuc IC600PM500 is a robust power supply module designed specifically for the Series Six PLC architecture. It serves as the primary power source for CPU and DPU modules, providing stable, regulated DC output from standard AC industrial power lines. This unit is engineered to maintain operational continuity in demanding environments, including power generation, petrochemical processing, and heavy manufacturing, by mitigating the effects of line voltage fluctuations and providing seamless transition to auxiliary power sources.

Features

• Power Ride-Through: Designed to withstand line voltage interruptions of at least 33 ms at 115 VAC, preventing unnecessary system shutdowns during transient power dips.
• Auxiliary Battery Support: Features dedicated input circuitry for an 8 to 28 VDC battery backup, ensuring the integrity of volatile CPU memory during extended primary power loss.
• Passive Cooling: The open-chassis design facilitates natural convective airflow, eliminating the requirement for mechanical cooling fans and increasing long-term hardware reliability.
• Status Diagnostics: Integrated front-panel LED indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of power supply health and fault status.

Applications

This power supply is intended for use in legacy Series Six control systems. It is commonly deployed in critical infrastructure where memory retention and sustained logic execution are required during fluctuating grid conditions.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Power Off: Always disconnect all power sources, including main AC and auxiliary DC battery inputs, before installing or removing the module from the rack.
• Environment: Ensure the module is installed in a clean, dry environment with adequate clearance for natural convective cooling. Do not obstruct the airflow through the open enclosure.
• Grounding: Verify that the rack chassis is properly grounded to the plant earth to ensure EMI protection and operator safety.
• Handling: Use standard ESD-safe handling practices when touching the module to prevent damage to internal electronic components.

FAQ

Q: Is this power supply compatible with all Series Six CPUs?
A: The IC600PM500 is designed for Series Six CPU/DPU architectures. Please verify your specific CPU model requirements against the power supply output specifications before installation.

Q: What happens if the main AC power fails?
A: If an auxiliary battery (8-28 VDC) is connected, the module will automatically switch to the battery source to maintain CPU memory and logic execution until main power is restored.
