MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The GE IC693CHS392K expands your Series 90-30 PLC system with ten additional I/O slots. You can connect this expansion rack to the CPU base via a standard extension cable. It houses up to ten modules including discrete, analog, and communication cards. This rack suits applications requiring significant I/O capacity beyond the main base.
Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout
This expansion rack measures 127 mm in height. Its width reaches 460 mm, and the depth equals 140 mm. The GE IC693CHS392K weighs approximately 2.5 kilograms. The rack includes a passive backplane with ten module slots. It contains no active electronic components or energy storage devices. One 24-pin connector accepts the expansion cable from the CPU base. Two terminal blocks provide 5 V DC and 24 V DC power inputs. The rack requires no internal battery or capacitor maintenance.

Expansion Capabilities and Compatibility
The GE IC693CHS392K supports all Series 90-30 I/O and specialty modules. It works with digital input, digital output, analog, and communication cards. You can place this rack up to 15 meters from the CPU base. Consequently, this flexibility allows optimal cabinet layout and space utilization. The expansion cable carries both data and limited power to the rack. Each slot provides standard Series 90-30 backplane signals for seamless integration. The rack requires an external 24 V DC power supply for all connected modules.
Installation and Practical Guidelines
You must mount this rack horizontally using four M6 screws. Transitioning to wiring, connect the expansion cable to the CPU base firmly. Provide separate 5 V DC and 24 V DC power supplies to the terminal blocks. Ensure proper grounding to avoid noise coupling into the backplane. The rack requires 60 mm of free space above and below for cooling. The operating temperature range spans from 0°C to 60°C reliably.
