GE IC695ACC402 CPU Energy Pack for PACSystem RX3i

The GE IC695ACC402 is a high-performance energy pack designed specifically for PACSystem RX3i controllers, such as the CPE330. This module provides backup power to the RX3i system, enabling safe memory transfer in case of power loss. The energy pack maintains essential CPU data by saving memory content from RAM to non-volatile storage, ensuring uninterrupted system operation.

Key Specifications

Description

The GE IC695ACC402 energy pack module is a crucial component for the PACSystem RX3i controllers, especially the CPE330 CPU. When a power failure occurs, this energy pack provides backup power to enable the transfer of critical data from RAM to non-volatile memory. The IC695ACC402 operates by drawing power from the PLC backplane, ensuring that the CPE330 can safely save data in non-volatile memory without risk of corruption.

With a 36” (1 m) cable (IC695CBL002), this module connects to the controller, and the external power supply requires a voltage of 18-30 VDC. The energy pack supports a maximum output of 45W and can handle an output current of 2.25 A. The capacitor pack has a typical life expectancy of 5 years. During power failure events, the IC695ACC402 ensures a smooth and controlled shutdown by maintaining power long enough for data transfer.

The module features several LED indicators, including IN, STAT, and OUT, to provide real-time status updates such as charging, fault, and low capacitance. If a firmware update is required, the module automatically receives updates from the CPE330 CPU, with LEDs displaying the progress.

Key Features

• Backup Power: Ensures safe memory transfer from RAM to non-volatile storage during power loss.
