Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC695ACC403 is a maintenance-free energy storage module designed for the PACSystems RX3i controller family. Instead of traditional lithium batteries, it uses supercapacitor technology to provide short-term backup power during power interruptions. This ensures the CPU can safely transfer volatile memory data into non-volatile flash storage, preserving system states, variables, and process information without routine battery replacement.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Maintenance-Free Operation
Replaces conventional lithium battery backup systems with supercapacitors, eliminating periodic battery replacement and disposal requirements.

Rapid Energy Restoration
Charges quickly from the 24 VDC supply, ensuring the system is protected shortly after startup and reducing vulnerability during power cycling.

Orderly System Shutdown
Provides temporary backup power during outages, allowing the CPU to safely save RAM data to flash memory and prevent corruption.

Clear Diagnostic Feedback
LED indicators provide real-time status of power input, charging state, and capacitor health for fast maintenance diagnostics.

FAQs

Which CPUs are compatible with the IC695ACC403?
It is designed for PACSystems RX3i CPUs such as IC695CPE400 and IC695CPL410. It is not compatible with Series 90-30 or other RX3i CPU models outside the supported list.

Can the capacitor module be replaced separately?
Yes. The capacitor pack (IC695ACC413) can be replaced independently without changing the base module.

Does it support hot-swapping?
The capacitor pack can be replaced while powered, but full charge must be reached before relying on backup functionality.

What cable is required for connection?
Typically the IC695CBL003 cable is used to connect the energy module to the RX3i CPU backup power interface.
