Product Overview

The IC694CHS392 (Part Number IC694CHS392A) is a standard serial expansion I/O backplane designed for the PACSystems RX3i platform. This 10-slot chassis allows for the seamless expansion of input and output modules beyond the local CPU rack. Engineered for high-speed serial communication, the IC694CHS392 supports complex distributed I/O architectures, enabling reliable data throughput across industrial control networks. It requires a dedicated serial power supply (such as the IC694PWR331, IC694PWR330, or IC694PWR321) to be installed in the leftmost slot to provide logic power to the expansion bus.

Hardware and Expansion Specifications

Specification Details
Module Classification Standard Serial Expansion I/O Backplane
Total Available Slots 10 (dedicated for I/O modules)
Power Supply Requirement Occupies the leftmost dedicated slot
Input Voltage/Current 150 mA @ 5 VDC (internal logic consumption)
Connectivity Supports expansion cables up to 15 meters (50 feet)
Configuration Integrated DIP switches for rack address selection
Mounting Dimensions 13.0 cm x 44.3 cm x 14.2 cm 
Compatibility PACSystems RX3i serial expansion modules and cables

Installation and Configuration Logic

Before deploying the IC694CHS392, operators must configure the hardware DIP switches located on the backplane. These switches define the expansion rack ID, ensuring the CPU correctly addresses the modules residing on this specific segment of the serial bus. The right end of the chassis features a high-density connector for optional expansion cables, allowing daisy-chaining of multiple racks up to the 15-meter architectural limit. This backplane is specifically designed for RX3i serial modules and does not support PCI-based RX3i main rack modules.

FAQ

Which power supplies are compatible with the IC694CHS392?

The backplane is compatible with the IC694PWR331 (24VDC), IC694PWR330 (120/240VAC), and IC694PWR321 (120/240VAC/125VDC) serial power supply modules.

Can I mix PCI and Serial modules in this backplane?

No, the IC694CHS392 is a "Serial Only" backplane. It is designed to host IC694 series discrete and analog modules that utilize the serial bus protocol.
