GE Fanuc IC697ACC721 Rack Fan Assembly – Cooling Solution for Series 90-70 PLC Racks

• Warranty: 365 days

• Lead time: 1 week when in stock; not more than one month at the latest

• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery

• Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• Purpose-built for GE Series 90-70 racks – Aligns with IC697 rack geometry for uniform airflow across installed modules.

• Top-of-rack installation – Quick mounting with standard hardware; no modification to the chassis in typical use.

• Continuous-duty cooling – Helps reduce thermal stress on CPU, I/O, and communication modules during 24/7 operation.

• Service-friendly design – From what maintenance teams tell us, access for cleaning and replacement is straightforward compared to improvised cabinet fans.

• Stable plant operation – In many cases, consistent rack cooling cuts nuisance thermal trips and unexpected stoppages.

You might notice that the IC697ACC721 shows up where Series 90-70 systems are still running mission-critical tasks. Typical sites include:

• Power generation and utilities (turbine controls, balance-of-plant racks)

• Oil & gas and petrochemical (compressor skids, process units)

• Metals, paper, and discrete manufacturing lines with high rack density

• Water and wastewater plants where cabinets run warm in summer months

• Marine and offshore installations relying on 24/7 PLC uptime

• Reliability – Purpose-matched to the rack, so airflow reaches where heat builds (CPUs, communication modules).

• Compatibility – Designed for IC697 racks; no guesswork versus generic cabinet fans.

• Cost control – Extends service life of installed assets; in many cases, reduces emergency call-outs related to thermal faults.

• Supportability – From a maintenance perspective, replacement is straightforward during planned downtime.

A maintenance lead at a wastewater site told us their nuisance CPU over-temperature alarms disappeared after adding this tray on a fully populated rack. That’s the sort of practical, low-drama result most teams want.

• Cabinet environment – Install in an enclosed industrial cabinet with clear intake/exhaust paths; avoid blocked louvers.

• Mounting – Position on top of the IC697 rack; secure using the supplied hardware. Verify mechanical clearance above the rack.

• Power wiring – Supply correct AC voltage for IC697ACC721; route cables away from signal wiring to minimize noise.

• Safety – Isolate power before installation or service. Confirm the fan is fully stopped before handling.

• Routine care – Periodically clean dust buildup; if a filter or screen is present, inspect and replace/clean on a schedule suited to site conditions.

• Lifecycle checks – Listen for bearing noise and verify airflow during PM visits; replace the assembly proactively if performance drops.

GE Fanuc production for the Series 90-70 family has historically aligned with major industrial standards. Units of this type are typically CE-marked and UL recognized where applicable. Manufacturing for these platforms has been associated with ISO 9001 quality systems. For legacy spare parts, RoHS applicability varies by revision; we can verify the exact marking on the unit we ship.
