HORNER HE700GEN200C
Country of Origin
This module is engineered and manufactured by Horner APG (in collaboration with GE Fanuc) in the USA, designed to meet global industrial standards for reliability.
Application Fields
The HE700GEN200 is a foundational component in power management:
- Remote I/O Stations: Providing clean power to racks located away from the main PLC.
- Material Handling: Powering control logic for large-scale conveyor and sorting systems.
- Packaging Machinery: Managing stable voltage for high-speed sensors and actuators.
- HVAC Systems: Used in building automation for powering large-scale air handling unit controllers.
- Industrial Processing: Serving as the power hub for distributed control in chemical or water treatment plants.
Product Usage Instructions
- Mounting: Ensure the rack power is disconnected. Slide the HE700GEN200 into the leftmost slot (Slot 0) of the G-Line base.
- Wiring: Connect the AC input lines (L, N, and Ground) to the terminal block. Ensure the ground connection is robust to minimize electrical noise.
- Load Calculation: Before adding I/O modules, calculate the total current draw on the 5V and 24V rails to ensure it does not exceed the module’s 3A rating.
- Redundancy: In mission-critical applications, check if the base supports a second power supply for redundant power sharing.
- LED Check: Upon powering up, the “DC OK” LED should be solid green. If the “Fault” LED is lit, check for a short circuit on the backplane or an overload condition.
Product Technical Description
Technically, the HE700GEN200 is a switching-mode power supply (SMPS) integrated with bus arbitration logic. It doesn’t just provide voltage; it monitors the integrity of the backplane bus. It features advanced thermal shutdown and over-current protection. If an I/O module on the rack fails and draws excessive current, the HE700GEN200 will limit the output or shut down to prevent damage to the rest of the system. Its high mean time between failures (MTBF) makes it ideal for continuous 24/7 industrial operations.
Q&A (Common Questions)
Q: Can I use this module to power external 24V field devices? A: While it provides internal 24V for the bus, it is recommended to use a separate dedicated 24V DC power supply for high-current field devices (like solenoids or motors) to prevent noise from affecting the PLC logic.
Q: Is the HE700GEN200 compatible with GE Fanuc 90-30 series? A: No, this is specifically for the G-Line architecture. For 90-30 systems, you would typically use an IC693PWR series power supply.
Q: What is the purpose of the internal fuse? A: The internal fuse protects the module against major internal component failure. If the fuse blows, the module usually requires professional repair rather than just a fuse replacement.
Q: Can I hot-swap this power supply? A: No. Removing the primary power supply while the system is running will result in an immediate loss of control logic and possible data corruption.
