Description
Overview
The IC695PSD040 power supply module is part of GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform and provides regulated 24 VDC power for CPUs and I/O modules installed on a Universal Backplane. Designed strictly for single‑supply operation, the module ensures stable power delivery for compact and mid‑sized control systems where reliability and predictable loading are essential.
Technical Specifications
The module occupies one backplane slot and delivers a fixed 40 W output. It includes built‑in protection and diagnostic features that report power‑related faults directly to the controller for system‑level handling.

Functional Characteristics
The module is engineered to power a single RX3i rack and cannot be paralleled with other power supplies. When system power requirements exceed 40 W, additional loads must be distributed across expansion or remote backplanes. Integrated diagnostics communicate undervoltage or power‑loss conditions to the CPU, enabling rapid fault identification and controlled system shutdown when necessary.
Version control is critical: earlier hardware revisions may cause damage if installed in backplanes containing other power supplies. The IC695PSD040 includes updated circuitry to prevent cross‑supply conflicts and ensure safe operation.
Application Scenarios
The IC695PSD040 is commonly used in:
-
Compact RX3i control racks
-
Machine‑level automation systems
-
Distributed I/O architectures with remote backplanes
-
Applications requiring stable 24 VDC power without redundancy
-
Industrial environments where diagnostic reporting is essential
FAQ
Q: Can the IC695PSD040 be used in redundant power configurations A: No, it is designed for single‑supply operation only.
Q: What happens if system load exceeds 40 W A: Additional power supplies must be installed on expansion or remote backplanes.
Q: Are all revisions compatible with multi‑supply racks A: No. Earlier revisions (e.g., PSD040C) must not be installed with other power supplies.
Q: Does the module report power faults to the CPU A: Yes, it provides diagnostic feedback for undervoltage and internal faults.
