IC693PWR322F

Description

1. Product Overview

2. Technical Specifications

• Input Voltage: It can accept a wide range of input voltages. Commonly, it supports an input voltage range of 85 – 264V AC or 100 – 370V DC. This wide input range allows it to be used in different electrical environments around the world, whether in regions with standard 110V AC or 230V AC power supplies, or in applications where DC power is available.
• Output Voltage: The module provides a stable 24V DC output voltage. This is a standard voltage used by most of the modules in the Series 90 – 30 PLC system. The output voltage has a tight tolerance, typically ±5%, ensuring that the connected modules receive a consistent and reliable power source.
• Output Current: It can supply a certain amount of output current. For example, it may be capable of providing up to 5A of continuous output current. This current capacity is sufficient to power multiple modules in a typical PLC configuration.
• Efficiency: The power supply module has a relatively high efficiency, usually around 85 – 90%. High efficiency means less power is wasted as heat, which not only reduces energy consumption but also helps in maintaining a lower operating temperature for the module itself and the surrounding components.
• Isolation: It provides electrical isolation between the input and output circuits. The isolation voltage is typically around 1500V AC, which helps protect the PLC system from electrical noise and surges on the input side.
• Operating Temperature Range: The module can operate within a temperature range of – 20°C to 60°C. This wide temperature tolerance allows it to be used in various industrial environments, from cold storage facilities to hot manufacturing plants.
• Dimensions: It is designed to fit into the Series 90 – 30 PLC chassis. The dimensions might be approximately 170 mm in length, 70 mm in width, and 120 mm in height.
• Weight: It is relatively lightweight, typically around 0.7 kg, which makes it easy to handle and install.
