Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CHS016 is a 16-slot Universal Backplane Module designed for PACSystems RX3i industrial automation systems by GE Fanuc. Serving as the physical and electrical backbone of control systems, this module supports both PCI and high-speed serial buses, enabling seamless integration of legacy GE Series 90-30 modules with modern RX3i components. With a dual-bus architecture, the GE IC695CHS016 accommodates a mix of I/O modules, communication processors (e.g., GE IC695CEP001), and CPUs (e.g., GE IC695CPE310), making it ideal for retrofitting existing systems or building scalable automation solutions in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment sectors.
Featuring hot-swap capability and diagnostic LEDs for real-time status monitoring, the GE IC695CHS016 ensures minimal downtime during maintenance. Its rugged design complies with IP20/NEMA 1 standards for non-hazardous environments, with optional IP54 enclosures for ATEX Zone 2 applications. The backplane’s modular layout allows for flexible configuration, supporting up to 16 slots for mixed PCI and serial modules while maintaining a compact form factor (5.6” x 23.7” x 5.8”) for space-efficient installation in control cabinets.

Key Features and Advantages
Dual-Bus Flexibility: The GE IC695CHS016 supports both PCI and serial buses, allowing simultaneous use of legacy GE Series 90-30 modules (IC693/694) and modern RX3i components (IC695). This hybrid architecture reduces migration costs for systems upgrading from older PLC platforms.
Scalable Design: With 16 slots, the backplane accommodates complex control systems, including CPUs, communication modules, and I/O cards. It supports up to 1,024 I/O points, making it suitable for large-scale industrial plants or distributed control systems (DCS).
Hot-Swap Capability: Modules can be replaced without powering down the system, critical for continuous-process industries like oil refining and pharmaceuticals. This feature, combined with diagnostic LEDs, minimizes downtime and accelerates maintenance.
Rugged Industrial Performance: Rated for IP20 protection in non-hazardous areas and compatible with IP54 enclosures for ATEX Zone 2, the GE IC695CHS016 withstands dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations (0°C to 60°C), ensuring reliability in harsh environments.
Efficient Cooling: The backplane requires 4” of clearance on all sides for optimal airflow, preventing thermal stress and ensuring consistent performance in high-density installations.
Application Areas
The GE IC695CHS016 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.
- Water Treatment: Coordinating pump stations and filtration units through real-time data acquisition from sensors and actuators connected via the backplane’s serial bus.
- Process Industries: Facilitating batch control in chemical and pharmaceutical plants by hosting analog/digital I/O modules (e.g., GE IC695ALG626) and communication gateways.
- Transportation: Managing railway signaling systems and metro networks through redundant CPUs and Ethernet modules for fail-safe operation.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
- Mounting: Secure the backplane horizontally on a DIN rail or panel using M4 screws, ensuring 4” of clearance on all sides for cooling.
- Cabling: Use shielded Cat 6 Ethernet cables for high-speed data links and connect power via the TB1 terminal block (24 VDC input).
- Grounding: Connect the integral grounding bar to the system ground using 14-22 AWG wires to mitigate electromagnetic interference.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Monthly Inspections: Clean vents and connectors to prevent dust accumulation. Verify LED indicators for power status, module connectivity, and bus activity.
- Annual Firmware Updates: Update 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).
