Description

Configured for discrete and analog I/O bus expansion in GE Fanuc controller networks, the GE Fanuc IC693CHS398H (IC693CHS398 5-Slot Expansion Base) provides direct physical/electrical execution. The 5-slot expansion chassis accommodates additional system modules in space-constrained panels while delivering direct communication lines across connected hardware racks. Operating across temperature ranges from 0 deg C to 60 deg C, the unit extends system channel density over a high-speed backplane interface.

Deterministic Network and High-Density Expansion

The IC693CHS398H expansion baseplate maintains high backplane bus communication velocity across all 5 option slots, routing parallel data signals back to the main CPU node. Designed to support flexible I/O density scaling, the chassis enables local and remote expansion without increasing scan cycle jitter. Internal bus traces and interface connectors strictly observe firmware flash compatibility standards, ensuring transparent channel mapping and deterministic backplane synchronization across extended rack topologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the IC693CHS398H expansion base accept a main CPU module?

A: No, the IC693CHS398H is a dedicated 5-slot expansion base and does not support CPU module mounting, which must reside in a primary CPU baseplate.

Q: How is operating power distributed to modules installed on this baseplate?

A: Power is supplied through the backplane expansion cable originating from the primary system power supply, with overall consumption depending on the installed module payload.

Q: What environmental temperature limits apply to this hardware during operation and storage?

A: The operating temperature range spans 0 deg C to 60 deg C (32 deg F to 140 deg F), while the storage temperature tolerance spans -40 deg C to 85 deg C (-40 deg F to 185 deg F).

Field Installation Guidelines

  1. Mount the 5-slot expansion baseplate securely to a flat panel or enclosure backplate inside an industrial cabinet.
  2. Ensure line power to the primary host rack is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting the expansion cable at the backplane bus interface.
  3. Align expansion modules with the slot guides of the baseplate and press firmly to seat the backplane connectors.
  4. Connect the functional earth ground terminal on the chassis directly to the enclosure protective earth (PE) bus.
  5. Route expansion bus interface cabling away from high-voltage AC lines and variable frequency drive output cables to prevent signal noise coupling.
