Product Overview
The IC693CHS398 serves as a critical hardware foundation for expanding the I/O capacity of a GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC system. This 5-slot expansion baseplate connects to a CPU baseplate via a high-speed expansion cable, allowing engineers to scale their control architecture without upgrading the primary processor.
We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and original equipment, ensuring long-term mechanical and electrical integrity in demanding industrial environments.

Engineering Advantages
Optimizes System Scalability
Enables the addition of up to five I/O or communication modules, offering a cost-effective expansion option without upgrading to a larger chassis.
Simplifies Installation
Integrated mounting holes and DIN-rail compatibility allow quick and secure installation in control cabinets, including high-vibration environments.
Ensures Signal Stability
Rigid backplane construction maintains precise module alignment, reducing intermittent connection issues common in aging systems.
Supports Remote I/O Layouts
Expansion bus supports placement up to 50 ft (15 m) from the CPU baseplate, enabling distributed I/O architectures closer to field devices.
FAQs
Can I install a CPU module directly into the IC693CHS398?
No. This is an expansion baseplate and does not support CPU modules. It must be connected to a CPU baseplate (e.g., IC693CHS391) via an expansion cable.
Does this baseplate require its own power supply?
Yes. Each expansion baseplate requires an independent power supply module (e.g., IC693PWR321) installed in the leftmost slot.
How do I set the rack address?
Rack addressing is configured using onboard DIP switches. Each rack must have a unique address to avoid I/O bus conflicts.
Is it compatible with older Series 90-30 modules?
Yes. The IC693CHS398 is fully backward compatible with all Series 90-30 discrete, analog, and specialty modules.
