Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CHS016CA is a 16-slot universal backplane designed by GE (now Emerson Automation) for the PACSystems RX3i platform, serving as the structural foundation for scalable industrial automation systems. This high-density backplane enables seamless integration of controllers, power supplies, I/O modules, and communication interfaces within a unified chassis, supporting both modern RX3i modules and legacy Series 90-30 hardware. Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the GE IC695CHS016CA operates reliably across temperatures from -20°C to +60°C and features 500V AC isolation to ensure signal integrity in electrically noisy settings like manufacturing plants or energy substations. Its horizontal-mount design optimizes thermal management and space efficiency in control cabinets, while hot-swap capability (for compatible modules) minimizes system downtime during maintenance. As part of Emerson’s robust automation ecosystem, this backplane is ideal for complex control applications requiring high reliability and future-proof expandability .

Key Features and Advantages
High-Density Integration & Compatibility:
The GE IC695CHS016CA accommodates 16 modules in a single chassis, including RX3i CPUs (e.g., IC695CPU315), analog I/O modules (e.g., IC695ALG708), and legacy Series 90-30 cards via adapters like IC693ACC301. This flexibility reduces system footprint and preserves existing hardware investments .
Industrial Robustness:
With 500V isolation and a wide operating temperature range (-20°C to 60°C), the backplane withstands extreme vibrations, EMI, and humidity (up to 95% non-condensing), ensuring stability in demanding environments like chemical plants or substations .
Operational Efficiency:
Hot-swap support allows module replacement without system shutdown, critical for 24/7 operations. Integrated diagnostics via slot-status LEDs enable rapid fault identification, while low power consumption (≤15W) reduces operational costs .
Protocol Versatility:
Native support for EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP simplifies integration with HMIs, SCADA systems, and third-party devices, enabling real-time data exchange for synchronized control .
Application Areas
Manufacturing Automation:
In automotive assembly lines, the GE IC695CHS016CA integrates robotic controllers, safety interlocks, and conveyor sensors via high-speed PCI buses, enabling millisecond-level synchronization for throughput optimization .
Energy Infrastructure:
Deployed in power substations, it hosts turbine monitoring modules and grid-protection relays, withstanding temperature fluctuations and EMI for reliable data acquisition in smart grids .
Process Industries:
Supports analog input modules (e.g., IC695ALG708) for precision temperature/pressure monitoring in chemical reactors, facilitating real-time hazard detection in ATEX-rated enclosures .
Water Treatment & Building Management:
Enables distributed I/O stations for pump/valve control in water facilities and integrates HVAC/security systems via Modbus RTU, reducing cabling complexity in remote sites .

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Power off the system and verify DIN-rail clearance (≥457.2mm width). Mount horizontally with ≥102mm ventilation space on all sides. Connect 24VDC to terminal block TB1 using 12-22AWG wires, adhering to polarity markings to prevent shorts .
Maintenance Recommendations: Quarterly, clean air vents with compressed air to prevent dust buildup. Inspect terminal blocks for oxidation and monitor slot LEDs: solid red indicates module failure. For hot-swap operations, ground personnel to avoid electrostatic discharge and verify module compatibility beforehand .
Product Assurance
Emerson provides a 12-month warranty covering material and workmanship defects. Global technical support includes 24/7 troubleshooting and 15-year lifecycle spare-part availability post-discontinuation. Compliance with UL, CE, and ATEX standards ensures adherence to international safety protocols for industrial environments .
