GE IC693CHS391N 10-Slot Backplane

Product Dimensions：

The GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC693CHS391N is a 9-Slot Universal Remote Backplane belonging to the widely used Series 90-30 PLC family. It serves as a rugged foundation for expanding or distributing I/O modules away from the main CPU chassis.

Product Detailed Description

The IC693CHS391N is an expansion chassis that cannot house a CPU module directly. Instead, it features a specialized slot at the right-hand end designed for a Remote Receiver Module (IC693ERR330). This receiver connects back to the main CPU rack via an expansion cable. The rack also requires its own dedicated Series 90-30 Power Supply module plugged into the leftmost slot to power the modules residing within the 9 available I/O slots.

Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• Optimized I/O Footprint: Provides a high-density 9-slot layout, giving system integrators plenty of room to scale digital, analog, or specialty communication loops.
• Distributed Architecture: Allows I/O modules to be placed closer to field machinery, significantly reducing field-wiring costs and labor by eliminating long cable runs back to the main control panel.
• Backward Compatibility: Seamlessly supports both older GE Fanuc legacy components and newer Emerson Automation parts within the 90-30 family line.
• Robust Noise Immunity: Built with heavy-duty metal backing plate mechanics that double as an electrical ground plane to shield modules against industrial EMI/RFI interference.

Important Considerations & Precautions

• No Local CPU: Do not attempt to plug a CPU module into this rack. Slot 1 is structurally locked to only accept the IC693ERR330 Remote Receiver module.
• Power Limitations: Calculate the cumulative total current draw of all 9 inserted modules. Ensure the chosen Series 90-30 power supply (e.g., IC693PWR321 or PWR330) can deliver enough amperage over the 5V and 24V buses.
• Termination Requirements: The last remote backplane in an expansion daisy-chain must have a terminating plug installed on the receiver module to prevent signal reflection and communication faults.
• Firmware/Revision Tracking: The “N” suffix indicates the latest manufacturing revision block. If replacing a very old revision (like an “A” or “B” version), double-check your existing I/O module firmware compatibility.

Product Applications

The IC693CHS391N is deployed across massive infrastructure setups requiring distributed control networks:

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Placed in localized pump control house cabinets to aggregate remote flow meters and valve actuators.
• Material Handling Systems: Distributed along lengthy conveyor lines or sorting networks to handle localized photo-eye sensors and motor contactors.
• Power Plant Auxiliaries: Used in auxiliary control sub-panels for monitoring non-critical generator environment temperatures and fan arrays.
• Oil & Gas Terminals: Placed inside secondary marshalling cabinets located near storage tank farms to collect analog level data.
