More Information

Overview Manuals Base-Unit Fit AC Input Setup Voltage Indication Supply Protection

Features:

  • A front PWR indicator reports the presence of acceptable input and regulated backplane power.
  • A removable terminal cover limits accidental contact with line-voltage connections.
  • The normally open RUN relay can drive a remote operating-status circuit.
Choose IC655PWR500 when the calculated Series Five backplane demand fits within the six-amp rail; racks approaching that limit should be evaluated against the higher-capacity AC alternative rather than treated as interchangeable.

The selector-jumper position becomes part of the cabinet configuration record because an incorrect 115/230 VAC choice affects the supply before any PLC diagnostic can respond.

The RUN contact reports controller operation, not merely incoming line power, so a remote indication circuit should be interpreted together with the front PWR lamp during troubleshooting.

How IC655PWR500 fits a Series Five base

  • Base position: The housing and rear connector are designed for the power-supply location at the far left of a CPU or I/O expansion base.
  • Backplane role: Its regulated output feeds the logic electronics of the processor and plug-in modules rather than replacing their field-side supplies.
  • Capacity planning: A proposed module set is acceptable only when the sum of maximum internal current demands remains within the available six-amp output.
  • Expansion bases: Each additional base receives its own correctly sized supply, so capacity is evaluated rack by rack rather than across the installation as one total.

Conditions that preserve dependable rack power

  • Cabinet temperature: Operation is intended between 0 and 60 °C, requiring enclosure ventilation that keeps the supply inside this range.
  • Stored equipment: Unpowered units tolerate -20 to 70 °C, but should return to the operating range before energization.
  • Moisture control: Relative humidity may reach 95% only without condensation, so cold equipment should acclimate before startup.
  • Atmosphere: The installation location must be free of corrosive gases that could degrade terminals, conductors, or internal assemblies.

Reading local and remote power-state indications

  • Green indication: The front PWR lamp is illuminated only while both the incoming AC source and regulated DC output are present at acceptable levels.
  • Dark indicator: Loss of the lamp directs troubleshooting toward the branch supply, fuse, input selection, and internal output instead of the I/O channels.
  • RUN contacts: The isolated normally open relay closes while the processor remains in RUN, allowing a separate status circuit to follow controller operation.
  • Remote alarm: A properly rated lamp or annunciator connected through the relay can reveal a stopped controller without opening the enclosure.

Line-side connections and protective details

  • Input terminals: Connect the AC line and neutral only after matching the selector-jumper position to the actual branch voltage.
  • Fuse response: A 2 A, 250 V normal-blow fuse protects the input; repeated operation calls for fault investigation rather than fitting a larger rating.
  • Ground separation: Chassis ground and signal common have distinct terminals, permitting the prescribed single bonding point in a multi-base installation.
  • Accessible conductors: Replace the terminal cover after wiring so line-voltage points are not exposed during routine work around the rack.
Description
General Electric IC655PWR500 is a Series Five 6 A power-supply module that accepts 115 or 230 VAC and provides regulated +5 VDC power to the CPU or expansion-base backplane. It installs in the dedicated supply position at the left side of the base.

The input range is established at the terminal block: the selector jumper is fitted for 115 VAC operation and omitted for 230 VAC. That visible wiring choice prevents the line-voltage configuration from being confused with a software setting or an internal adjustment.

A front PWR lamp reports acceptable supply operation, while the isolated RUN relay can be used by an external status circuit to follow controller operation. Rack design must still total the demand of every installed module because the six-amp rating describes available backplane capacity, not a guaranteed allowance for any module combination.

Technical notes
IC655PWR500 uses a 2 A, 250 V normal-blow fuse; repeated opening indicates an input or internal fault that requires investigation.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How should the input voltage be selected on IC655PWR500?
Fit the supplied jumper across the two lower selection terminals for 115 VAC operation on IC655PWR500; remove that jumper when the source is 230 VAC.
What should be checked if the PWR indicator on IC655PWR500 goes dark?
Verify the AC source and the regulated +5 VDC output of IC655PWR500, because the green indicator turns off when either is lost or outside its operating level.
Where must IC655PWR500 be installed in a Series Five base unit?
Place IC655PWR500 in the leftmost base-unit position, press its rear connector fully into the backplane, and secure both captive fasteners.
Can IC655PWR500 power field input and output devices directly?
No. IC655PWR500 supplies the Series Five backplane; most field I/O devices still need their own correctly rated external power source.
How can IC655PWR500 provide an external indication that the PLC has left RUN mode?
Wire a suitable lamp or alarm to the normally open RUN-relay terminals on IC655PWR500; the contacts open when processor RUN status is lost.
What grounding mistake can damage boards in a multi-base IC655PWR500 system?
Do not install the C-to-G jumper on every IC655PWR500 base. Bond signal and chassis ground together only at the first CPU base while interconnecting like grounds.
What load check is required before adding another module behind IC655PWR500?
Add the maximum internal current demands of the CPU and all installed modules, then confirm the total remains within the 6 A IC655PWR500 output limit.
