Information

Overview Manuals Principle Applications

Features:

  • Module of GE Fanuc series 90-30 PLC systems
  • Series 90-30 I/O Expansion Baseplate Module
  • This module is a 5-slot expansion baseplate from the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform.
Its key features include five (5) I/O slots, one (1) power supply slot, and one (1) expansion port. It supports standard 90-30 series I/O modules and dedicated modules. It can be directly mounted to the control panel using the included mounting clips. It works with the CPU backplane and connects via the CPU backplane's expansion port.

Using the IC693CHS398 allows the CPU module to control a greater number of I/O modules. The number of expansion backplanes (e.g., IC693CHS398) allowed per system depends on the CPU model used. CPUs 331, 340, and 341 can have up to four expansion backplanes installed simultaneously; CPUs 350 and later can have up to seven.

The IC693CHS398 GENERAL ELECTRIC 5-slot expansion baseplate module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
GENERAL ELECTRIC IC693CHS398 5-slot expansion baseplate module datasheet(manual), Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
The IC693CHS398 has five I/O slots, which are also compatible with option modules. These slots are specially sized to prevent incorrect module installation. The backplane requires a dedicated power supply module to operate. The power supply module is installed in a dedicated power supply slot on the left side of the hardware. There is also an expansion backplane port on the far right of the hardware for connecting additional expansion backplanes.
The IC693CHS398 is designed for a variety of industrial solutions requiring high-speed logic and distributed monitoring.
1. Manufacturing and Assembly: Used for high-speed packaging, material handling, and injection molding to control automated machinery and safety interlocks.
2. Water and Utility Management: Used in water treatment plants and continuous discharge monitoring systems.
3. Energy Management: Integrated into energy networks for real-time monitoring and data acquisition of distributed assets.
4. Process Control: Supports batch processing and temperature/flow measurement in the chemical, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.

Ask our team:

  • What architectural role does the IC693CHS398 play within a GE Series 90-30 PLC hardware configuration?
    The IC693CHS398 functions as a 10-slot modular baseplate (rack) designed to house CPUs, power supplies, and I/O modules within the Series 90-30 automation platform. It provides the physical structure and electrical backplane required for communication and power distribution among installed modules.
  • How does the backplane communication infrastructure of the IC693CHS398 enable efficient data exchange between installed PLC modules?
    The IC693CHS398 incorporates an integrated high-reliability backplane bus that allows modules installed in each slot to communicate directly with the system CPU, ensuring deterministic data transfer and synchronized control operations throughout the PLC system.
  • Why is the slot configuration of the IC693CHS398 strategically significant for scalable PLC system design?
    The IC693CHS398 provides ten expansion slots, allowing system engineers to install a flexible combination of power supply modules, CPUs, digital I/O, analog I/O, communication modules, and specialty modules, thereby enabling scalable and customizable automation architectures.
  • How does the mechanical construction of the IC693CHS398 contribute to durability in industrial control cabinets?
    The IC693CHS398 is designed with a robust industrial-grade chassis structure that ensures secure module mounting, stable electrical connections, and resistance to vibration or mechanical stress typically encountered in manufacturing and process environments.
  • What installation methodologies are recommended when deploying the IC693CHS398 in automation panels?
    The IC693CHS398 is typically installed using panel-mount or DIN-rail mounting configurations, and proper spacing must be maintained to ensure sufficient airflow and thermal dissipation within the control enclosure.
  • What types of modules can be integrated into the IC693CHS398 to build a complete control system?
    The IC693CHS398 accommodates a wide range of compatible Series 90-30 modules, including CPUs, discrete I/O modules, analog input/output modules, communication interfaces, motion control modules, and specialty process control modules.
