GE Fanuc Introduces New Redundant Power Supply for Series 90™ - 30 Controllers
New power supply increases uptime in high-availability Applications
In the event of a primary power supply failure on a Series 90™-30 PLC, GE Fanuc Automation’s new Redundant Power Supply System (RPSS) switches power to a backup unit without process interruption. The RPSS helps ensure uptime in high-availability applications—such as pumping stations, process lines, emergency generating, and batching—and minimizes lost production and scrapped product due to power supply failure.
Consisting of a baseplate that supports two power supplies and a redundant power supply adapter, the RPSS is compatible with all Series 90-30 power supplies, CPUs, and I/O expansion bases. The adapter mounts in the power supply slot on any CPU or I/O expansion base.
The flexibility of the panel-mounted RPSS allows power from multiple sources; for example, the primary source can be connected to 120VAC and the backup to 24VDC. Built-in user diagnostics in the redundant power supply’s baseplate can be incorporated into the controller or an external alarm for easy troubleshooting. And, in the event that a power supply fails, users can replace the failed unit by simply removing power from the defective unit and “hot swapping” it while the backup unit is powered and controlling the process, further reducing downtime.
