Product Details And Specifications

GE IC698PSA100 Power Supply Module – Obsolete RX7i Spare Part: Protecting Your Automation Assets Against Forced Obsolescence

The GE IC698PSA100 is a 100W AC power supply module designed for the GE PACSystems RX7i rack-based control platform. As GE Automation (now part of Emerson) has progressively phased out the RX7i product line, sourcing a verified replacement IC698PSA100 has become a critical procurement challenge for plant engineers and maintenance managers worldwide.

Technical Specifications

Note: Electrical parameters listed are based on published GE documentation. DriveKNMS does not fabricate specifications. For parameters not listed, please request the original datasheet.

Solving the Discontinued Hardware Crisis

The GE PACSystems RX7i platform was widely deployed across process industries — including oil & gas, pulp & paper, water treatment, and discrete manufacturing — throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Many of these installations remain operational and are deeply embedded in plant infrastructure, with custom ladder logic, proprietary I/O configurations, and decades of tuning that cannot be trivially migrated.

The IC698PSA100 power supply is the backbone of the RX7i rack. Without a functioning power supply, the entire CPU, I/O, and communication modules in the rack go offline. There is no cross-compatible substitute from the current GE/Emerson portfolio that installs without rack replacement and re-engineering. This makes the IC698PSA100 a single point of failure for any RX7i-based system still in production.

Condition & Reliability Assurance

All IC698PSA100 units supplied by DriveKNMS undergo a structured 5-step quality assurance process before dispatch review:

1. Visual & Mechanical Inspection: Full board-level inspection for physical damage, corrosion on connector pins, and housing integrity.
2. Electrolytic Capacitor Assessment: Aging electrolytic capacitors are the primary failure mode in legacy power supplies. Each unit is evaluated for capacitor condition; units with suspect capacitors are either recapped or rejected.
3. Firmware Version Verification: Where applicable, firmware revision is confirmed against GE's published compatibility matrix for the RX7i platform.
4. Functional Power-On Test: Each unit is bench-tested under load to verify output voltage stability and protection circuit behavior.
5. Packaging & ESD Protection: Units are shipped in anti-static packaging with desiccant to prevent transit-related moisture damage.

Key Features for System Maintenance

Q: How are RFQ terms confirmed?
A: Quantity, required condition, documentation needs, destination and sourcing route are confirmed during RFQ review before quotation.

Q: Can you support multi-unit or repeat RFQ requests?
A: Yes. Send the model list, target quantity and destination so DRIVEKNMS can review sourcing options and quote the requirement as a project RFQ.

Q: What are the payment and export terms?
A: We support T/T (bank transfer), PayPal, and other arrangements by negotiation. Full export documentation is provided, including commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin where required. We ship globally via DHL, FedEx, and UPS.
