Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC695CHS007 serves as the high-speed communication foundation for compact PACSystems RX3i control architectures. This 100% brand new, original 7-slot universal backplane integrates dual-bus technology, allowing it to host both modern RX3i PCI-based modules and legacy Series 90-30 serial-based modules simultaneously.

Its reduced footprint makes it ideal for remote I/O stations and space-constrained control systems, delivering full RX3i performance within a compact mechanical design.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Dual-Bus Hybrid Architecture
Supports both high-speed PCI (RX3i) and legacy serial (Series 90-30) buses, enabling seamless system migration and reuse of existing I/O modules.

Space-Optimized Footprint
The 7-slot design minimizes panel space requirements, making it ideal for distributed control systems and skid-mounted equipment.

Enhanced Mechanical Reliability (BA Release)
The updated -BA version features improved connector mechanics, ensuring secure module seating and reliable electrical contact in high-vibration environments.

Simplified Field Wiring
Integrated 24 VDC terminal strip and grounding bar provide centralized power distribution and shield termination, reducing wiring complexity and improving EMC performance.

FAQs

Can I install a Series 90-30 CPU in this backplane?
No, the IC695CHS007 requires an RX3i CPU (such as IC695CPU310 or CPE100). However, it supports Series 90-30 I/O modules in slots 1 through 5.

Which slot is used for the power supply?
Slot 0 (leftmost) is dedicated exclusively for the RX3i power supply module.

Does this backplane support vertical mounting?
No, only horizontal mounting is supported. Vertical installation may restrict airflow and cause overheating.

What is the difference between the -AA and -BA versions?
The -BA version includes reinforced backplane connectors, improving mechanical stability and long-term connection reliability.
