GE Fanuc IC694CHS392 Serial Expansion Backplane for RX3i PAC System
2. Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC694CHS392 is a crucial component within the industrial automation domain. It serves as a serial expansion backplane that belongs to the RX3i PAC system series. This backplane plays a vital role in enhancing the capabilities of industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems.
I/O Expansion
With a total of ten slots, the IC694CHS392 provides significant room for expanding the input/output (I/O) capabilities of the overall system. These slots can be filled with various I/O modules, allowing for the connection of multiple sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices. This expansion is particularly useful in industrial environments where the need to monitor and control a large number of signals is common, such as in manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, and process control systems.
Power Requirements
The backplane has specific power requirements. It must be paired with a suitable power supply module. Currently, it is compatible with only three power supply modules: the IC694PWR331, the IC694PWR330, and the IC694PWR321. A continuous current of 150 milliamperes at 5 volts of direct current is required for its smooth operation. This ensures stable power delivery to all the modules connected to the backplane, guaranteeing reliable performance.
Mounting and Physical Design
Featuring a compact design with dimensions of 5.59 inches in height, 5.12 inches in length, and 17.44 inches in width, the IC694CHS392 is relatively lightweight and highly portable. It can be easily mounted using the panel – mounting method, making it convenient to install in different industrial settings, whether in control cabinets or on equipment panels.
Communication and Connectivity
The backplane comes with a bus connector located on the right – hand end side. This connector enables communication between the backplane and other modules within the system. Additionally, there are slots available for additional expansion cables. However, when using these expansion cables, users should ensure that the cable length does not exceed 15 meters (50 feet) to maintain proper communication and system performance.
Dip Selection Switch
Before installing any module onto the IC694CHS392, it is essential to set the Dip selection switch correctly. Failure to do so will result in the backplane not functioning as intended. One drawback of this module is that it does not support hot removal and hot insertion, which is a feature available in some other similar modules.
