Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CHS012 is a 12-slot universal backplane engineered by GE (now part of Emerson Automation) for the PACSystems RX3i platform, serving as the foundational hardware framework for scalable industrial automation systems. Designed to integrate modern RX3i modules and legacy Series 90-30 I/O cards, this backplane enables seamless connectivity of controllers, power supplies, and specialty I/O modules within a unified architecture. Its horizontal-mount design optimizes thermal management and space efficiency in control cabinets, while 500V AC isolation ensures signal integrity in electrically noisy environments like manufacturing floors or energy substations. The GE IC695CHS012 features dedicated slots: Slot 0 for power supplies (e.g., IC695PSD040F) and Slots 1–6 for PCI/serial modules, simplifying installation and reducing deployment time for mid-to-large-scale projects. With hot-swap support (for compatible modules), it minimizes system downtime during maintenance, making it ideal for continuous-process industries demanding high reliability.

Key Features and Advantages
High-Density & Multi-Generation Compatibility:
The GE IC695CHS012 accommodates 12 modules, including RX3i (e.g., IC695ALG708) and legacy Series 90-30 series (e.g., IC693ACC301), preserving existing investments while enabling future expansions. Its dual-bus architecture (PCI/serial) ensures interoperability with diverse I/O cards, communication modules, and controllers without costly system overhauls.
Industrial Durability & Hot-Swap Capability:
Constructed with industrial-grade materials and 500V isolation, the backplane withstands vibrations, EMI, and temperatures up to 55°C. Hot-swap support allows technicians to replace faulty modules without system shutdown, critical for 24/7 operations in chemical plants or power generation facilities.
Space Optimization & Diagnostic Ease:
Compact dimensions (457.2mm width) and horizontal mounting maximize control cabinet space utilization while promoting airflow to prevent overheating. Clearly labeled slots and integrated grounding strips reduce installation errors, and status LEDs enable rapid fault identification.
Energy Efficiency & Protocol Flexibility:
Low power consumption (≤10W) reduces operational costs, while compatibility with protocols like Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and ProfiNet simplifies integration with HMIs, SCADA systems, and third-party devices.
Application Areas
Manufacturing Automation:
In automotive assembly lines, the GE IC695CHS012 integrates robotic arm controllers, conveyor sensors, and safety interlocks via high-speed PCI buses, synchronizing production stages for real-time throughput optimization.
Energy Infrastructure:
Deployed in substations, it connects circuit breaker monitors, turbine sensors, and grid protection relays. Its tolerance to electromagnetic interference ensures reliable data acquisition for smart grid management.
Process Industries:
In chemical plants, the backplane hosts analog input modules (e.g., IC695ALG708) for temperature/pressure monitoring, enabling precise valve control in ATEX-rated enclosures (up to IP54 with external housing).
Water Treatment & Building Automation:
Supports remote I/O stations for pump control in water facilities and integrates HVAC, lighting, and security systems in smart buildings via Modbus RTU connectivity.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
Power off the system and verify DIN-rail or panel space (min. 457×141mm). Ensure ambient temperature ≤55°C and clearance ≥102mm around the GE IC695CHS012 for ventilation. Connect 24VDC power to terminal block TB1 using 12–22AWG wires, adhering to polarity markings.
Maintenance Recommendations:
Quarterly, clean air vents with compressed air to prevent dust accumulation and inspect terminal blocks for oxidation. Monitor slot LEDs for faults (e.g., steady red indicates module failure). For hot-swap replacements, confirm module compatibility and ground personnel to avoid electrostatic discharge.
