Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CRH031 is a universal backplane within the PACSystem RX3i platform, originally developed by GE Intelligent Platforms and now under Emerson Automation. Designed as a foundational component for industrial automation systems, this 7-slot backplane (Slot 0 for power supply; Slots 1–5 for PCI/serial I/O; Slot 6 for PCI-only modules) supports seamless integration of IC695, IC694, and IC693 I/O modules, along with RX3i and Series 90-30 hardware. Its compact design (141.4 × 264.9 × 147.3 mm) suits space-constrained applications, while isolated 24 VDC terminal blocks and integrated grounding strips ensure robust electrical safety and EMI protection. The GE IC695CRH031 enables flexible system expansions in distributed control architectures, critical for real-time monitoring in harsh industrial environments (-20°C to +60°C).

Key Features and Advantages
Hybrid Slot Compatibility & Legacy Support:
Slots 1–5 accept both PCI-based RX3i modules and serial-based Series 90-30 hardware, enabling smooth upgrades from legacy systems without complete overhauls. This versatility reduces integration costs by 40% for mixed-vendor environments.
Robust Electrical Design:
Isolated 24 VDC terminals and integrated grounding bars prevent ground loops and shield interference, critical for stability in high-noise settings like power plants. The horizontal-mount requirement optimizes airflow, avoiding thermal throttling in compact enclosures.
Scalability for Distributed I/O:
With support for remote I/O architectures, the GE IC695CRH031 acts as a backbone for decentralized control networks. Its modularity allows adding safety controllers (e.g., IC695PNS101) or analog modules (e.g., IC695ALG220) as operational needs evolve.
Application Areas
The GE IC695CRH031 excels in infrastructure demanding modularity and fault tolerance:
- Energy & Utilities: Distributes I/O across substation SCADA networks, linking protection relays and grid sensors.
- Manufacturing: Serves as remote I/O hubs in automotive assembly lines, connecting robotic cells to central PLCs.
- Water Treatment: Hosts pump-control modules in decentralized sewage plants, reducing wiring complexity by 60%.
- Hazardous Environments: With IP54 enclosures, it manages fire/gas detection systems in oil refineries (Class I Div 2).

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Mount horizontally on DIN rail/panel to ensure airflow. Verify 24 VDC power stability (±10%) and allocate ≥4 inches clearance for cooling. Use shielded cables for all I/O connections to minimize EMI.
Maintenance Recommendations: Clean air vents quarterly in dusty sites (e.g., cement plants). Inspect terminal block tightness annually to prevent loose connections. For hazardous areas, validate enclosure IP54 integrity every 6 months.
Product Assurance
The GE IC695CRH031 includes a 1-year warranty against defects. Emerson’s global support provides SIL validation docs and 72-hour emergency replacement. Rigorous UL/CSA testing ensures 100,000+ hours MTBF in corrosive or high-vibration settings.
