IC694PWR321
GE
Overview
The IC694PWR321 is a Power Supply Module from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a power supply module, the IC694PWR321 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It conditions and distributes the low-voltage supply that powers the controller, I/O and communication modules on the same rack.
Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Ensure adequate ventilation and do not overload the supply beyond its published current budget; consider redundancy for critical racks. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC694PWR321, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Match the output voltage and current to the GE product portfolio load and allow headroom for future expansion. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications (source data)
The GE Fanuc IC694PWR321 power supply module is a serial expansion power supply module made for the serial backplane of an RX3i PacSystems PLC. It can provide a system with up to 30 Watts of power. Technical specifications for IC694PWR321 Manufacturer GE Fanuc Series RX3i PacSystems Part Number IC694PWR321 Product Type Power Supply Module Current Rating 2 Amps Load-Sharing Redundancy Not Supported Outputs 5 Volts DC, 24 Volts DC Relay, and 24 Volts DC Isolated AC Input Voltage 85 to 264 Volts AC DC input Voltage 100 to 300 Volts DC Installation The Leftmost Slot of the PLC's Serial Backplane The IC694PWR321 power supply module has been designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc in the RX3i PacSystem series as a PLC power supply. It can be used in any RX3i PLC because it is compatible with all of the GE RX3i CPUs. The IC694PWR321 power supply module is rated at 120/240 Volts AC and 125 Volts DC. It is designed to be a serial expansion device and it needs to be installed in the serial backplane of its host PLC, specifically in the slot furthest to the left. The IC694PWR321 power supply module has a current rating of 2 Amps and it can provide up to 30 Watts of power unless it is operating with 5 Volts DC output voltage, in which case it can only provide 15 Watts of power. It does not support a load-sharing redundancy feature.
The GE Fanuc RX3i IC694PWR321 expansion power supply module can provide 3 outputs. The first output is a 5 Volts DC output, the second output is a 24 Volts DC relay output that can power the circuits on output relay modules, and the third output is a 24 Volts DC isolated output that can power field devices which are connected to input modules rated at 24 Volts DC. The IC694PWR321 power supply module runs on input voltages of 85 to 264 Volts AC or 100 to 300 Volts DC. Its green “PWR” LED glows when it is on and its power source and levels are steady, its green “OK” LED glows when the whole PLC is operating properly, and its green “RUN” LED glows when the PLC is operating in the run mode.
