GE IC693CHS398H Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693CHS398H is a robust 16-slot rack designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It acts as a central frame to hold and connect various PLC modules—such as CPUs, input/output modules, and communication modules—in industrial automation setups. This rack uses a built-in backplane to link all modules, allowing them to share data and work together smoothly to control machines and processes.
The GE IC693CHS398H is made to fit perfectly with Series 90-30 components, including the IC693CPU374 (CPU) and IC693MDL740 (discrete output module). With 16 slots, it provides enough space for large-scale systems, reducing the need for extra racks and saving room in control cabinets.
Built to handle tough industrial conditions, the GE IC693CHS398H works well in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity from 5% to 95% (no condensation). It has sturdy mounting holes for secure installation in control panels, and its durable steel frame with a protective coating resists dust, vibrations, and minor impacts. Whether in factories, power plants, or water treatment facilities, the GE IC693CHS398H offers a reliable base for automation systems.

Main Features and Advantages
Ample slot space: With 16 slots, the GE IC693CHS398H can hold more modules than smaller racks, making it ideal for large automation systems. This means you can build complex setups—with multiple input, output, and communication modules—without needing extra racks, saving space in control cabinets.
Durable build: The steel frame and anti-corrosion coating make the GE IC693CHS398H strong enough to handle dust, vibrations, and minor bumps common in factories or power plants. It keeps modules secure even in rough conditions, reducing the risk of loose connections or damage.
Easy to install: The rack comes with pre-drilled holes for simple mounting in control panels. Modules slide into the slots and lock in place with a quick push, so setting up the system takes little time.
Works with all Series 90-30 modules: The GE IC693CHS398H is fully compatible with all Series 90-30 modules, from CPUs to input/output modules like the IC693ALG222 (analog input). This flexibility lets you mix and match modules to fit your specific needs.
Smooth data flow: The built-in backplane ensures fast, reliable data transfer between modules. This means commands from the CPU reach output modules quickly, keeping machines and processes running on time.
Application Areas
In manufacturing: Factories use the GE IC693CHS398H to build large control systems for assembly lines. For example, it can hold a CPU, multiple input modules (to read sensor data from conveyor belts), and output modules (to control robots or packaging machines), keeping the entire line coordinated.
In power plants: It’s used in control systems for turbines and boilers. The rack holds modules that monitor pressure, temperature, and flow, sending data to the CPU to adjust operations and keep power generation stable.
In water treatment: The GE IC693CHS398H supports systems that control pumps, valves, and filters. It holds modules that track water levels and chemical doses, ensuring treatment processes meet safety standards.
In automotive plants: It’s part of systems that control welding robots, paint lines, and quality checks. The rack’s 16 slots let it handle the many sensors and actuators needed to keep production efficient and consistent.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC693CHS398H, check that the control panel has enough space—allow at least 10 cm of clearance around the rack for wiring and airflow. Make sure the panel is grounded to avoid electrical issues. Use screws to mount the rack securely; tighten them enough to keep it steady, but not so much that the frame bends.
Maintenance suggestions: Check the GE IC693CHS398H monthly for dust or loose screws. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to keep modules cool. Every three months, check that all modules are locked in place—push each gently to ensure a tight fit. If a module stops working, remove it and reinsert it to fix loose connections. Avoid using water or cleaning liquids, as they can damage the rack or modules.
