Description

The GE IC697CHS783RR is a 17-slot VME Integrator Rack designed for hybrid industrial automation systems, belonging to the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 platform. Building on the standard IC697CHS783 (front-mount design), the RR suffix indicates enhanced redundancy features for mission-critical applications. This rack combines modular flexibility with VMEbus compatibility, supporting both GE Fanuc IC697 PLC modules and third-party VME-compliant components while ensuring high availability through dual power supplies and redundant communication pathways .

Key Features and Advantages

  1. Dual Redundant Power Supply
    The IC697CHS783RR supports two independent power input modules (e.g., IC697PWR713RR), enabling continuous operation even if one power source fails. This is critical in environments like offshore platforms or power plants where downtime risks catastrophic consequences.
  2. Redundant Communication
    Equipped with dual Ethernet and RS-485 ports, the rack ensures failover communication between control systems. This minimizes data loss and supports real-time applications such as turbine control and robotics.
  3. Hybrid System Integration
    The rack accommodates both GE Fanuc IC697 modules and third-party VME components, making it ideal for retrofitting legacy systems or designing hybrid automation solutions. Its 0.8” backplane spacing complies with VME standards, ensuring compatibility with specialized modules for high-speed data acquisition or custom control logic .
  4. Modular Scalability
    With 17 slots (8 single-width and 9 double-width), the rack allows users to scale systems from basic I/O control to advanced automation. This reduces the need for multiple racks, simplifying cabling and maintenance.
  5. Rugged Reliability
    Built with industrial-grade materials, the IC697CHS783RR withstands extreme temperatures (-40°C to 85°C storage), vibrations (1g at 57–150 Hz), and shocks (15g for 11 ms). Its IP54-rated enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments .
  6. User-Friendly Configuration
    Configured via GE Fanuc’s Configurator software, the rack supports I/O point assignment, alarm threshold settings, and module health monitoring without specialized training. Slot sensing technology eliminates manual addressing, reducing setup time by up to 30%.

Installation and Maintenance

  • Pre-Installation Preparation:
    Ensure the control panel is properly grounded and ventilated. Verify the rack dimensions fit the enclosure. Install dual power supply modules (IC697PWR713RR) in the designated slots. Use shielded cables for I/O connections to minimize interference.
  • Maintenance Recommendations:
    Regularly inspect the rack for loose connections or physical damage. Use GE Fanuc’s Configurator software to monitor power supply health and communication link status. Perform annual calibration checks for analog modules and replace batteries in memory modules every 2–3 years. Test power supply failover and communication redundancy annually.
