Product Details:
GE IC698CHS117C is a high-performance 17-slot chassis with integrated VME64 backplane for GE Fanuc PACSystems RX7i automation platform. This VME64 backplane rack serves as the mechanical and electrical backbone of RX7i control system. Slot 0 is reserved for RX7i power supply module such as IC698PSA100D or IC698PSA350D, and the remaining slots can be fitted with RX7i CPU, communication, analog and discrete I/O modules. The VME64 backplane delivers four times higher bandwidth than standard VME bus, realizing fast and stable data transmission between all plug-in modules. This RX7i 17-slot chassis supports mixed module installation, compatible with RX7i series modules and legacy Series 90-70 I/O modules, convenient for system upgrade and migration. It supports redundant power supply configuration to improve system reliability for critical industrial control. The chassis adopts wall or cabinet panel mounting design, with built-in airflow channel for heat dissipation. It allows hot swap of individual modules in redundant configuration, reducing system downtime during maintenance. Widely used in power plants, petrochemical, metallurgy and large process industries, this VME64 backplane rack provides a scalable hardware foundation for large-scale PACSystems RX7i distributed control systems.
