Features:
- A 275-load-unit budget supports dense Series Six high-capacity I/O racks.
- Three regulated backplane rails serve logic and auxiliary module requirements.
- Two selectable AC ranges let one supply operate from either 115 or 230 VAC systems.
IC600PM503 is the AC-input supply for a Series Six high-capacity I/O rack, delivering substantially more +5 VDC current than the standard-rack unit.
The front voltage selector must match the incoming line range, while the protected terminal board carries the source and ground conductors.
POWER OK reports the collective condition of all regulated outputs, and the internal protection responds to excessive voltage or current on the rack side.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Matching the high-capacity supply to AC mains
- Lower band: The 115 VAC position accepts an input spanning 95 through 130 VAC.
- Upper band: The 230 VAC position covers incoming power from 190 through 260 VAC.
- Line frequency: Either selector position operates with a 47-63 Hz source.
- Prestart check: Set the jumper and restore the terminal shield before the I/O rack is energized.
Distributing power across a loaded I/O rack
- Logic supply: The +5 VDC backplane output can deliver as much as 16.5 A.
- Positive auxiliary: Modules may draw up to 1.5 A from the +12 VDC rail.
- Negative auxiliary: The -12 VDC path contributes a maximum of 1.0 A.
- Rack budget: All installed loads together must remain within the 275-unit allowance.
Securing and connecting the rack supply
- Supply bay: IC600PM503 occupies the far-right position of the high-capacity I/O rack.
- Insertion path: Card guides align the assembly with its internal rack connections.
- Mechanical lock: Upper and lower quarter-turn fasteners retain the unit after seating.
- Protective earth: The AC terminal arrangement includes a dedicated grounding conductor.
Interpreting regulated-output conditions
- Combined indication: POWER OK remains lit only while every regulated rail is inside tolerance.
- Voltage control: The outputs are regulated within two percent of their nominal levels.
- High-voltage limit: The +5 VDC circuit includes protection centered at 6.2 VDC with a 0.5 V tolerance.
- Fault response: Overcurrent protection acts on the outputs when rack demand or a downstream fault is excessive.
