Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CHS012LT is a 12-slot Universal Backplane Module designed for PACSystems RX3i industrial automation systems by GE Fanuc. This module serves as the backbone of control systems, providing high-speed communication between controllers, I/O modules, and other expansion devices. Supporting both PCI and high-speed serial buses, the GE IC695CHS012LT enables seamless integration of legacy GE Series 90-30 modules with modern PACSystems RX3i components, making it ideal for retrofitting or building scalable automation systems in manufacturing, energy, and process industries.
Featuring a rugged design with hot-swap capability, the GE IC695CHS012LT allows module replacement without powering down the system, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Its dual-bus architecture supports up to 12 slots for mixed PCI and serial modules, including CPUs, communication processors (e.g., GE IC695CEP001), and analog/digital I/O cards. The backplane’s diagnostic LEDs monitor power status and module connectivity, while its compact form factor (457.5 x 141.5 x 147.32 mm) ensures space-efficient installation in control cabinets. With compliance to IP20/NEMA 1 standards for non-hazardous areas, the GE IC695CHS012LT delivers reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Key Features and Advantages
Dual-Bus Architecture: The GE IC695CHS012LT supports both PCI and serial buses, allowing mixed deployment of legacy GE Series 90-30 modules and modern RX3i components. This flexibility reduces migration costs for systems upgrading from older PLC platforms.
Hot-Swap Capability: Modules can be replaced while the system remains operational, enabling maintenance without disrupting critical processes. This feature is particularly valuable in continuous industries like oil refining and pharmaceuticals.
Scalable Design: With 12 slots, the backplane accommodates a wide range of modules, from CPUs (e.g., GE IC695CPE310) to communication processors (e.g., GE IC695PNC001), supporting complex control systems with up to 1,024 I/O points.
Reliable Diagnostics: Built-in LEDs provide real-time status updates on power, module connectivity, and bus activity, simplifying troubleshooting and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
Environmental Resilience: Rated for IP20 protection in non-hazardous areas and compatible with IP54 enclosures for ATEX Zone 2, the GE IC695CHS012LT withstands dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations common in industrial settings.
Application Areas
The GE IC695CHS012LT excels in diverse industrial scenarios:
- Manufacturing: Enabling centralized control in automotive assembly lines, robotics cells, and packaging systems by integrating PLCs, HMIs, and motion controllers.
- Energy: Supporting distributed control systems (DCS) in power plants and oil refineries, where high-speed data exchange between turbines, generators, and SCADA systems is critical.
- Process Industries: Coordinating batch control in chemical and pharmaceutical plants by hosting analog/digital I/O modules (e.g., GE IC695ALG626) and communication gateways.
- Water Treatment: Managing pump stations and filtration units through real-time data acquisition from sensors and actuators connected via the backplane’s serial bus.
- Transportation: Facilitating railway signaling systems and metro network control by integrating redundant CPUs and Ethernet modules for fail-safe operation.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
- Verify backplane compatibility with RX3i universal backplanes and ensure proper grounding using M4 screws and shielded cables to mitigate electromagnetic interference.
- Connect power via the TB1 terminal block, supporting 24 VDC input for select modules. Use Cat 6 Ethernet cables for high-speed data links.
- Align modules with the backplane’s PCI/serial connectors and secure them with captive screws to prevent vibration-induced disconnections.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Monthly Inspections: Clean vents and connectors to prevent dust accumulation, ensuring optimal thermal performance. Check LED indicators for 异常 status.
- Annual Firmware Updates: Update backplane-compatible modules (e.g., CPUs) using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software to access new features and security patches.
- Redundancy Testing: Simulate module failures annually to validate hot-swap functionality and ensure seamless failover in redundant configurations.
- Environmental Checks: Monitor ambient temperature and humidity levels to avoid exceeding the backplane’s operating limits (0°C to 60°C).
