Description:

The GE IC695CHS007 is an essential backplane for the PACSystem RX3i series, providing robust support for a variety of modules. It is equipped with seven slots, which allow users to integrate a power supply in Slot 0, while Slots 1-5 are designed for both PCI and serial-based I/O modules. Slot 6 is reserved for PCI I/O modules only, ensuring maximum flexibility in system design.

This backplane is ideal for systems requiring a compact, versatile solution. Additionally, it offers an integrated grounding bar for secure connections and a 24VDC terminal strip for power distribution. This makes it suitable for various industrial applications, including remote I/O architecture and system expansion. Moreover, the backplane’s horizontal mounting orientation ensures proper airflow and cooling, which helps maintain the system’s performance.

The IC695CHS007 is compatible with both RX3i and Series 90-30 modules, making it a versatile choice for industrial control systems. Its clear slot numbering aids easy module installation and configuration. With hot-swap support, users can replace or add modules without powering down the system, minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.

For installation, it is essential to mount the backplane in a protective enclosure with a minimum IP20 rating. The system requires at least 4 inches of clearance on all sides to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation.

Applications:

Industrial Automation: Perfect for complex automation systems requiring modular, flexible control.
System Expansion: Easily integrates additional I/O modules and options to expand system capabilities.
Remote I/O Solutions: Suitable for systems with limited space or remote I/O configurations.
