Key Features and Advantages
Modular Expandability: The IC698CHS009 supports up to 14 modules, allowing gradual system expansion as operational needs evolve. This flexibility reduces upfront costs and enables seamless integration of additional I/O or communication capabilities.
Rugged Industrial Design: Constructed with heavy-gauge steel, the chassis withstands harsh industrial conditions, including vibration, shock, and temperature fluctuations. Its powder-coated finish resists corrosion, making it suitable for offshore platforms, refineries, and other challenging environments.
Redundant Power Support: The chassis accommodates redundant 24 V DC power supplies (e.g., IC698PWR330), ensuring uninterrupted operation during power fluctuations. This redundancy is critical for mission-critical applications where downtime is not an option.
Efficient Thermal Management: Integrated heat dissipation channels and optional fan modules maintain optimal operating temperatures, even with full module loading. This design prevents overheating and extends component lifespan.
Easy Installation and Maintenance: Removable front panels and labeled terminal blocks simplify wiring and module replacement. The chassis supports hot-swappable modules, allowing maintenance without powering down the system, which minimizes downtime in 24/7 operations.
Compatibility with 90-70 Series: Designed specifically for GE’s 90-70 Series components, the IC698CHS009 ensures seamless compatibility with CPU modules (e.g., IC698CPM790), I/O cards, and communication gateways, reducing integration complexity.
