Product Overview
The IC694CHS398 is a 5-slot expansion backplane engineered for the GE Fanuc / Emerson PACSystems RX3i series. This 100% brand new, original component expands system I/O capacity by providing additional slots for discrete, analog, and specialty modules. It connects to a universal backplane or other expansion racks via a dedicated expansion cable, enabling scalable PLC architectures across multiple panels or enclosures.

Engineering Advantages
Modular System Scalability
Adds five additional I/O slots without requiring another CPU, allowing system expansion while maintaining centralized control logic.
Flexible Module Compatibility
Supports both RX3i IC694 and legacy Series 90-30 IC693 I/O modules, protecting existing investments and simplifying upgrades.
Rugged Industrial Build
Heavy-duty construction ensures durability in harsh industrial environments, with secure mounting options for vibration-prone applications.
High-Speed Serial Communication
Designed to support high-speed backplane communication, ensuring reliable and low-latency data transfer between expansion racks and the main CPU.
FAQs
Does this backplane support RX3i CPU modules?
No. CPUs must be installed in a Universal Backplane (IC695 series). The IC694CHS398 is intended for I/O expansion only.
How do I connect this expansion rack to the main PLC?
Use an expansion cable to link the “Expansion” port of the main rack to this backplane. Ensure the final rack in the chain is properly terminated.
Can I use a Series 90-30 power supply with this backplane?
Yes. It supports both IC694 (RX3i) and IC693 (Series 90-30) power supplies, as long as they meet system power requirements.
Is the backplane hot-swappable?
No. While individual I/O modules may support hot-swapping, the backplane and expansion cables must not be installed or removed under power.
