Description

The General Electric IC693CHS398 is a 5-slot expansion baseplate designed for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This baseplate allows for the physical expansion of the PLC rack, providing additional slots for I/O modules when the primary CPU baseplate capacity is reached. It features a 25-pin female D-type connector for the I/O bus expansion cable, enabling communication between the CPU baseplate and the expansion rack.

Features

• 5-slot configuration for I/O module expansion.
• Compatible with GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC systems.
• Integrated 25-pin female D-type I/O bus expansion connector.
• Robust design for industrial environments.
• Requires a separate power supply module for operation.

Applications

• Water treatment and environmental protection systems.
• Food and beverage processing and packaging lines.
• Auxiliary equipment control for power plants and substations.
• Building automation including HVAC and lighting control.
• Light industry manufacturing and printing equipment.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Grounding: All expansion baseplates must be connected to a common ground to prevent ground loops and ensure signal stability.
• Slot Population: All unused slots must be covered with filler modules (e.g., IC693ACC310) to maintain proper airflow and protect internal circuitry from debris.
• Cabling: The total length of interconnecting cables between the CPU baseplate and all expansion baseplates must not exceed 50 feet (15 meters) to ensure signal integrity.
• Safety: Always power down the system before inserting or removing modules from the baseplate.

FAQs

What is the IC693CHS398?

The IC693CHS398 is a 5-slot expansion baseplate used to increase the I/O capacity of a GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC system.

Does this baseplate include a power supply?

No, the IC693CHS398 does not include an integrated power supply; a separate power supply module must be installed in the baseplate to provide power to the modules.

Can this baseplate stand alone?

No, this is an expansion baseplate and must be connected to a system with a CPU baseplate via the I/O bus expansion cable.
