Product Details
IC695CHS012 Main features
Tank capacity
It supports up to 12 slots for I/O modules, CPU modules, and other compatible components in the RX3i system.
Base plate structure
The backplane provides a high-speed communication bus to enable data transmission between various modules.
The module is inserted into the slot of the chassis and connected to the back panel of the chassis to achieve data exchange and power exchange.
Bus structure
The IC695CHS012 adopts a high-speed serial communication bus to ensure rapid data transmission among various modules.
Power supply
This backplane needs to be equipped with an external power module compatible with the GE RX3i system.
The power supply is not included in the back panel and must be purchased separately.
Module compatibility
Compatible with various I/O modules, CPUs, and communication modules of the RX3i series.
Integration
It can be integrated with RX3i CPU modules (such as IC695CPU315 or IC695CPU340), I/O modules, and communication modules to form a complete control system.
It supports communication with remote I/O modules and can be part of a distributed control system.
Physical specifications
Dimensions: Approximately 390 mm (15.4 inches) wide, 250 mm (9.8 inches) deep, 45 mm (1.8 inches) high.
Weight: Generally, it weighs around 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds), but this can vary depending on the actual configuration.
Environmental rating
Operating temperature range: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
Storage temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95%, no condensation
Part Number
The part number of the back plate is IC695CHS012.
Installation and configuration
Easy to install in a standard 19-inch rack or panel mounting setup.
After the module is inserted into the slot, the CPU automatically recognizes the module and configures it.
The wiring and connection of external devices are handled through dedicated connectors and terminal blocks.
Application
The IC695CHS012 backplane is used in industrial automation applications that require a large number of I/O modules. Typical use cases include:
A manufacturing plant that controls the production line.
Oil and gas facilities are used for monitoring and controlling oilfield operations.
Water treatment plants and automated process control systems.
Machine control and robots.
