Key Features

1. High‑Capacity +5 VDC Output

• Delivers up to 6 A / 30 W on the +5 VDC rail, supporting large I/O racks, high‑speed counters, motion modules, and coprocessors (e.g., IC693PCM311).
• Eliminates power bottlenecks in systems with dense module populations.

2. Triple Isolated Outputs

• +5 VDC: Powers backplane logic, CPU, and digital/analog I/O modules.
• +24 VDC (Relay): Dedicated supply for relay‑type output modules, ensuring clean, noise‑free power for switching circuits.
• Isolated +24 VDC: Provides up to 15 W for external field devices (sensors, transmitters, input modules), reducing the need for external power supplies.

3. Extended Temperature “C” Rating

• Operates reliably from ‑20°C to +65°C, suitable for unheated warehouses, outdoor cabinets, and extreme manufacturing environments.
• Maintains full power output and regulation across the entire temperature range.

4. Wide‑Range DC Input

• Accepts 2–30 VDC nominal input, compatible with 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and 48 VDC industrial battery and power distribution systems.
• Starts reliably at ≥8 VDC and maintains regulation down to 2 VDC, ideal for battery‑backed and remote applications.

5. Comprehensive Protection & Diagnostics

• Built‑in overvoltage, overcurrent, short‑circuit, and overtemperature protection safeguards the power supply and connected modules.
• Front‑panel PWR OK, RUN, BATT LEDs provide instant status feedback for power health, system run state, and battery backup.

6. Seamless Integration & Hot‑Swap

• Directly inserts into any Series 90‑30 CPU baseplate slot (slot 0 preferred).
• Hot‑swap capable (with compatible baseplates) for replacement without PLC shutdown, minimizing downtime.
• Fully compatible with all Series 90‑30 CPUs (311, 313, 323, 331, 341, 351, 363, 374) and I/O modules.

Applications

• Large PLC Systems: Series 90‑30 racks with 10+ modules, high‑density digital I/O, and analog modules.
• Motion Control: Systems with servo/stepper modules requiring high +5 VDC current.
• Communication‑Intensive Systems: Racks with multiple coprocessors (e.g., IC693PCM311) and Ethernet/serial communication modules.
• Harsh Environments: Outdoor cabinets, cold storage, and high‑temperature manufacturing lines (utilizing the “C” extended temperature rating).
• Battery‑Powered & Remote Systems: Water/wastewater pumping stations, remote monitoring, and solar‑powered installations (2–30 VDC input range).
• Legacy System Upgrades: Replacing standard power supplies in aging Series 90‑30 systems to support new, power‑hungry modules.
