الوصف

The GE IC695CHS012 is a 12-slot universal base for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It is a passive backplane or chassis that serves as the foundation for an RX3i system, providing the mechanical and electrical framework for the modules.


 

Key Features

 

  • Universal Backplane: The “universal” designation means that this chassis can accept any combination of RX3i modules, including the CPU, power supply, and various I/O and communication modules. This provides flexibility for system design and expansion.
  • 12 Slots: The “012” in the part number indicates that the backplane has 12 module slots. The first slot (leftmost) is always reserved for the power supply module. The second slot is for the CPU, and the remaining 10 slots can be populated with other modules.
  • High-Speed Communication: The backplane is a high-speed electrical bus that allows the modules to communicate with the CPU. It provides the power and data pathways necessary for the system to function as a cohesive unit.
  • Hot Swap Capability: The design of the universal backplane, in conjunction with compatible modules, allows for hot swapping. This means modules can be inserted or removed while the system is powered, which is crucial for reducing downtime during maintenance and upgrades.
  • Mounting: The IC695CHS012 is designed for easy mounting in an industrial control panel. It typically has built-in mounting holes for direct installation.
