Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC693CHS392 is a 10-slot expansion baseplate for the Series 90-30 PLC system. It provides the necessary physical mounting and electrical backplane to extend the I/O capacity of the control system beyond the main CPU rack. By connecting to the main CPU baseplate via an expansion cable, this baseplate allows for distributed I/O architectures, making it ideal for large-scale industrial applications. We supply this baseplate as 100% Brand New original equipment to ensure mechanical and electrical integrity for your PLC system.

Engineering Advantages

• High-Density I/O Expansion: The 10-slot configuration maximizes the number of I/O points per rack, reducing the need for multiple expansion cables and baseplates. This helps minimize the total system footprint and cost.

• Simplified System Distribution: The expansion architecture allows for I/O racks to be mounted up to 15 meters (50 feet) away from the CPU baseplate. This flexibility enables closer placement of I/O modules to field sensors and actuators, reducing wiring and minimizing signal interference.

• Robust Mechanical Foundation: The 1.9 kg heavy-duty chassis offers a rigid mounting surface that resists mechanical stresses common in industrial environments. Secure module locking mechanisms prevent accidental disconnection in high-vibration settings.

• Universal Slot Versatility: With 9 universal slots, the IC693CHS392 supports a wide range of Series 90-30 digital, analog, and specialized communication modules, allowing for diverse system configurations using standardized hardware.

• Integrated Power Distribution: The baseplate requires its own local power supply module (e.g., IC693PWR321 or PWR330), ensuring that voltage drops over long cables do not impact the stability of the I/O modules in the expansion rack.

FAQs

Can I install a CPU module in the IC693CHS392 expansion baseplate?

No, the IC693CHS392 is an expansion baseplate and does not contain the circuitry to support a CPU. The CPU must be installed in a main baseplate (e.g., IC693CHS391).

Is this a brand new or refurbished part?

We guarantee this baseplate is 100% Brand New. It ships in original factory packaging and has never been previously installed or used.

What cable do I need to connect this to my main CPU rack?

You will need a Series 90-30 expansion cable (e.g., IC693CBL300 or IC693CBL301) depending on the required distance. These cables connect the 25-pin ports on the baseplates.

Do I need a separate power supply for this expansion rack?

Yes, each expansion baseplate requires its own power supply module (e.g., IC693PWR321 or PWR330) to power the modules installed in the slots.
