Description
GE IC697ACC735 is a blank slot filler module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems, used to occupy unused slots in control racks and maintain structural integrity, dust resistance, and electromagnetic shielding. Unlike communication modules (e.g., IC697ACC730/732), it does not provide data transmission functionality but ensures system stability and reliability in industrial environments.

Key Features and Advantages
-
Slot Occupancy and Protection:
- Fills unused slots in control racks to prevent dust, debris, and accidental contact, maintaining optimal airflow and thermal management .
- Ensures electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) by minimizing signal interference from external sources.
-
Structural Stability:
- Reinforces rack integrity, especially in high-vibration industrial settings, reducing mechanical stress on adjacent modules.
-
Easy Installation:
- Plug-and-play design requires no tools or configuration, simplifying rack assembly and maintenance.
-
Cost-Effective Solution:
- Affordable alternative to leaving slots empty, which could compromise system reliability over time.
Applications
The IC697ACC735 is used in GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems to:
- Maintain rack stability during initial installation or module replacement.
- Protect against environmental contaminants in manufacturing, oil and gas, power generation, and water treatment facilities.
- Ensure EMC compliance in sensitive industrial automation environments.
Compatibility and Related Products
- Series 90-70 Racks: Works with half-slot integrator racks (e.g., IC697CHS750, IC697CHS782) .
- Blanking Plate Alternatives: For full-slot applications, consider GE IC697ACC728 or IC697ACC730 (though these are communication modules; verify model accuracy).
- Communication Modules: If seeking data transfer functionality, refer to GE IC697ACC730 (Genius Bus) or IC697CMM742 (Ethernet) .
Installation and Maintenance
-
Installation:
- Power off the system and remove any protective covers from the target slot.
- Align the IC697ACC735 with the slot and press firmly until it clicks into place.
-
Maintenance:
- Inspect periodically for physical damage or 松动 (loose fittings).
- Clean with a dry cloth to remove dust buildup.
Product Warranty and Support
- Warranty: Typically covered by GE Fanuc’s standard 1-year warranty for mechanical components.
- Availability: In stock with select distributors (e.g., 4D Controls), with delivery times varying by region .
Important Notes
- Model Clarification: The IC697ACC735 is not a communication module (e.g., Genius Bus or Ethernet). If communication functionality is required, verify the correct model number (e.g., IC697ACC730).
- Environmental Limitations: While IP20-rated, it does not provide water resistance; ensure proper environmental protection for the entire rack.
