Product Role & System Fit
In industrial automation, controlling power distribution across modular racks is as essential as managing logical control signals between CPUs and remote I/O. The IC697CBL700B plays a foundational role in enabling dual-rack power sharing within GE Series 90-70 PLC environments. Rather than equipping each rack with its dedicated power supply — a practice that complicates cabinet layout and increases cost — this extension cable facilitates sharing one power supply between two adjacent racks.
Specifically engineered for GE Fanuc / Emerson automation platforms, the IC697CBL700B delivers the main +5 VDC bus from a primary rack’s power supply to a secondary rack while also carrying auxiliary control signals such as ACFAIL and SYSRESET. These control signals ensure that when the main rack’s power status changes, both racks respond correctly and in sync — a key requirement for reliable system sequencing and safe operation during power events.
Unlike generic power jumpers, this cable integrates diagnostics-grade connectors and industrial shielding to preserve signal integrity in noisy electrical environments typical of factories, utilities, and process plants. The module’s 9-pin D-Sub interface aligns with industry conventions, making it compatible with standard rack backplane connectors.
For system integrators dealing with legacy Series 90-70 architectures — where Ethernet-based power sharing solutions are not applicable — the IC697CBL700B remains a practical and field-proven interface component. Its role is unequivocal: enable extended I/O configurations without duplicating power hardware while preserving the deterministic behavior that traditional PLC systems are known for.
