GE IC695CHS016CA RX3i 16 universal slots backplane with conformal coating.

الوصف

The GE IC695CHS016CA is a 16-slot universal backplane for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The “CA” suffix indicates that this version is conformal coated, which provides a protective layer against environmental contaminants.

Key Features

• Universal Backplane: This chassis can hold any combination of RX3i modules, including the CPU, power supply, and various I/O and communication modules.
• 16 Slots: The backplane provides 16 slots for modules. The first slot (leftmost) is for the power supply, the second is for the CPU, and the remaining 14 slots can be used for other modules.
• Conformal Coating: The “CA” designation signifies that the electronic components on the backplane are covered with a thin, protective polymer film. This coating safeguards the circuitry from:
  • Moisture and humidity 💧
  • Dust and airborne contaminants
  • Corrosion from chemicals or salt spray 🧂
• High-Speed Communication: The backplane acts as a high-speed bus, enabling fast and reliable data exchange between the modules and the CPU.
• Hot Swap Capability: This backplane supports hot swapping, which allows compatible modules to be replaced without powering down the system.

Applications

The IC695CHS016CA is a fundamental component for building a new or expanding an existing RX3i PLC system in harsh environments. It’s used in:

• Industrial Automation: As the foundation for control systems in industries with high humidity, chemical exposure, or corrosive atmospheres.
• Marine and Offshore: Ideal for applications on ships or oil rigs due to its resistance to salt spray and moisture.
• System Integration: Used by engineers to design and assemble robust, reliable control systems for challenging conditions.
