- The GE IC698CHS009 is a 9-slot, rear-mount rack for the PACSystems RX7i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). As a rear-mount rack, it’s designed to be installed from the back of a control panel or enclosure. It provides the physical and electrical foundation for an RX7i system.
Key Features and Specifications
- Slot Configuration: The rack has a total of 9 slots for modules. These slots are arranged as follows:
- Slot 0: The leftmost slot, which is wider than the others, is exclusively for the power supply module.
- Slot 1: This slot is reserved for the CPU module.
- Slots 2-8: The remaining seven slots are for I/O modules, communication modules, and other specialty modules.
- Compatibility: The IC698CHS009 is a versatile rack that is compatible with:
- RX7i CPUs and modules.
- Series 90-70 modules.
- VME modules (following specific guidelines).
- Rear Mounting: It is designed to be mounted to the back of a control panel. This mounting style is often used in applications where a clean front panel appearance is desired, with wiring and module access from the rear.
- High-Speed Backplane: The rack features a high-speed backplane that allows for fast and efficient data exchange between the CPU and all the modules. It provides automatic daisy-chaining of interrupt signals, eliminating the need for jumpers.
- Open Equipment: The rack is considered “open equipment,” meaning it must be installed in a protective enclosure rated IP54 or greater to protect it from dust and water in industrial environments.
- Power Supply Support: It supports both the 100W and 350W rated RX7i power supplies.
Applications
The IC698CHS009 is a core component for building a new or expanding an existing RX7i PLC system in various industrial applications, including:
- Manufacturing Automation
- Process Control
- Energy Management Systems
- Oil and Gas
- Slot Configuration: The rack has a total of 9 slots for modules. These slots are arranged as follows:
