Product Description

The IC693CHS397 is a 5-slot expansion baseboard for the 90-30 Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform.

Formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc and now part of Emerson Automation, this baseboard has five (5) main I/O slots,

one (1) power slot, and one (1) expansion port. The module supports the installation of standard 90-30 series I/O modules and specialized modules.

It can be mounted directly to the panel dcs-sis.com using the supplied mounting tabs.

About the IC693CHS398

The IC693CHS398 is an expansion backplane for the 90-30 Series PLCs, formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc and now part of Emerson Automation.

The module can be paired with a CPU baseboard and connected through the expansion port on the CPU baseboard.

With the IC693CHS398. the central processing unit (CPU) module can control additional I/O modules.

The number of expansion boards (e.g., IC693CHS398) allowed per system varies depending on the type of CPU used.

Specifically, up to four expansion boards can be used simultaneously for any of the CPUs 331. 340. and 341. and up to four expansion boards can be used simultaneously for CPU 350 and above.

The IC693CHS398 is equipped with five (5) I/O slots for option modules.

These slots are uniquely sized to prevent improper module installation. This backplane requires a dedicated power supply module to operate.

The power supply is installed through a dedicated power supply slot located on the left side of the hardware. There is also an expansion baseboard port on the far right side of the hardware for connecting additional expansion baseboards.

The IC693CHS398 measures 10.43 x 5.12 x 5.59 inches (W x H x D) and has an internal power requirement of 170 mA at 5VDC.

To ensure continuous communication, the expansion system allows up to 50 feet or 15 meters of interconnecting cable.

This hardware does not support the installation of PCMs, ADCs, Bus Expansion Modules (BEMs), and CMM311 modules.

The IC693CHS398 baseboard, manufactured by GE Fanuc and part of the 90-30 series, is an expansion baseboard.

It can be used as part of a large industrial control system.The IC693CHS398 Expansion Baseboard must always be connected to a CPU baseboard in the PLC, but can only be connected to a total of one CPU baseboard.

However, it is possible to connect multiple expansion baseboards at the same time.
