Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CHS007 is a 7-slot universal backplane module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform, a cornerstone of industrial automation systems. Serving as the physical and electrical backbone of the RX3i architecture, this module enables seamless integration of control, I/O, and communication modules, ensuring reliable data exchange and power distribution. Its primary function is to provide a stable foundation for modular systems, supporting both PCI-based modern modules (e.g., GE IC695ALG608CA analog input modules) and legacy Series 90-30 I/O devices, making it ideal for retrofitting or hybrid automation setups .
Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the GE IC695CHS007 features a compact design (141.4 mm x 264.9 mm x 147.3 mm) that optimizes space in control cabinets while accommodating up to seven modules . Slot 0 is dedicated to power supply modules (e.g., GE IC695PSD040), while slots 1–5 support dual-connector modules compatible with both PCI and high-speed serial protocols. Slot 6 is reserved for single-width PCI modules, ensuring flexibility for diverse configurations . The backplane includes a 24V DC terminal strip and an integral grounding bar, enhancing electromagnetic compatibility and system stability in harsh environments like manufacturing plants or power generation facilities .
In automation systems, the GE IC695CHS007 plays a critical role in reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance. Its hot-swap capability allows technicians to replace modules without powering down the entire system, a feature particularly valuable in continuous processes such as chemical production or wastewater treatment . By supporting both legacy and modern modules, it bridges the gap between outdated infrastructure and advanced automation technologies, enabling cost-effective system upgrades. Its robust design, withstanding temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and resisting vibration, ensures consistent performance in unforgiving industrial settings .

Its integral grounding bar and shielded connectors further enhance reliability .
Space-Efficient Design: Measuring just 141.4 mm in height, GE IC695CHS007 fits compactly into control panels while supporting up to seven modules. This makes it suitable for applications with limited space, such as small-scale manufacturing cells or distributed control systems .
Easy Configuration: Slot numbers are clearly labeled, and the backplane’s layout mirrors Proficy Machine Edition software configurations, simplifying module installation and troubleshooting. The 24V DC terminal strip and power supply slot (Slot 0) streamline wiring and power management .
Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the RX3i rack and disconnect all power sources before installing GE IC695CHS007. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and grounded to meet IP20/NEMA 1 requirements. Clean the backplane’s connectors to remove dust or debris that could disrupt signal transmission. Align GE IC695CHS007 with the enclosure’s mounting holes and secure it using the provided screws. Install the GE IC695PSD040 power supply in Slot 0 and connect the 24V DC input to the terminal strip, verifying polarity to prevent damage .
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect GE IC695CHS007 quarterly for loose connections or corrosion on the terminal strip. Use a dry cloth to wipe dust from the backplane’s surface, as accumulated particles can affect heat dissipation. Monitor the power supply’s status LEDs—green indicates normal operation, while red signals issues like overvoltage. Periodically check the grounding bar for tightness to maintain electromagnetic compatibility. For systems with hot-swapped modules, test replacement parts in a controlled environment to ensure compatibility .
