It houses up to ten I\/O or option modules and connects to the CPU baseplate via a 25-pin expansion cable. This baseplate extends the control system's I\/O count without requiring a dedicated CPU in the remote rack, making it essential for distributed control architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ybc-ul-component list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIC693CHS392K\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlots:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10 I\/O\/Option Slots + 1 Power Supply Slot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCPU Slot:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNone (Expansion Only)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion Connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e25-pin D-shell Female (Right Side)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Expansion Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e50 feet (15 meters)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Racks per CPU:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7 (Dependent on CPU model)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackplane Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e150 mA @ 5 VDC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePanel Mount (Flange)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0 cm x 13.0 cm x 2.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ybc-ul-component list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistributed I\/O Deployment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe baseplate links to the main CPU rack using a 25-pin D-type cable for distances up to 50 feet.
