GE FANUC IC697CHS750 , 5-Slot Rear Mount I/O Rack , Series 90-70 PLCs

Product Description

The IC697CHS750 is a 5-Slot Rear Mount I/O Rack by GE Fanuc for the series 90-70 PLCs. It is a rack used to connect with modules that belong to the IC697 PLC series. Racks with the same characteristics as this one are IC697CHS790 and IC697CHS791. The difference between them is the number of slots and the mounting orientation. To power this rack, there are different types of AC or DC IC697 power supplies. In some cases, a single power supply can be used for two racks with a power extension cable. The rack’s size is 11.15’’x 19’’x 7.5’’ but the space needed for mounting the rack should be larger to ensure adequate air flow.

To power the IC697CHS750, use the top left slot to connect the power supply. On both the right and the left sides of the panel, there are ground studs. When installing the rack, some space must be empty to provide access. More space is required to connect two racks with the same power supply. Around 6 inches is adequate. There is also an optional VME J2 Backplane Kit that can be helpful when installing the rack.

The IC697CHS750 rack is compatible with high-density modules of the IC697 series. The wires that connect to these modules enter the rack through the bottom cavity, which can provide space for up to forty #14 wires. To program the I/O point references of the modules, the MS-DOS programming software configurator function can allow the user to configure the equipment without the need to access jumpers or DIP switches.
