Description
GE IC693ACC301 Technical Specifications:
- Product Type: Lithium Battery Backup Kit.
- Compatibility: Designed for specific 90-30 Series CPU modules.
- Battery Chemistry: Primary Lithium (long-life, non-rechargeable).
- Connector Type: Standard 2-pin or 3-pin CPU battery connector.
Functional Features:
- Memory Retention: Prevents loss of logic programs, data tables, and retentive registers during power loss.
- Clock Backup: Maintains accurate real-time clock settings for event logging and scheduling.
- Hot-Swap Support: Allows for battery replacement while the CPU remains powered on (subject to CPU capabilities).
Application Scenarios:
- Preventive maintenance for all GE 90-30 PLC installations.
- Ensuring data integrity in critical process control applications.
- Retrofitting or upgrading legacy 90-30 systems.
Performance Parameters:
- Lifespan: Multi-year operational life under normal conditions.
- Voltage: Stable output voltage throughout the battery’s service life.
- Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably across standard industrial temperature ranges.
Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:
- Battery Cell: High-quality primary lithium cell.
- Housing: Protective plastic casing with integrated wiring and connector.
- Safety: Built-in protection against short circuits and reverse polarity.
Working Principle: The battery provides a low-current DC voltage to the CPU’s CMOS memory and real-time clock circuits. When main power is lost, the battery seamlessly takes over to keep the memory alive. When main power is restored, the CPU reads the battery-backed memory to resume operations exactly where it left off.
Installation Requirements:
- Timing: Replace the battery promptly when the CPU’s “BATT LOW” LED illuminates.
- Polarity: Observe strict positive and negative polarity when connecting the battery plug.
- Disposal: Dispose of used lithium batteries according to local environmental regulations.
Usage Precautions:
- Safety Warning: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type or disposed of in fire.
- Memory Loss: If the battery fails completely and main power is lost, the CPU memory will be erased. Always maintain a backup of the PLC program.
- Handling: Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
