The GE IC693CHS391M is a sturdy 10-slot rack designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It serves as a base to hold and connect various PLC modules—like CPUs, input/output modules, and communication modules—in industrial automation setups. This rack keeps all modules linked through a backplane, ensuring they communicate smoothly to control machines and processes.
The GE IC693CHS391M is built to fit perfectly with Series 90-30 components, such as the IC693CPU374 (CPU) and IC693MDL740 (discrete output module). Its 10 slots give enough space to set up complex systems without needing extra racks, saving space in control cabinets.
Made with durable materials, the GE IC693CHS391M works well in tough industrial conditions—temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, and humidity from 5% to 95% (no condensation). It has mounting holes for secure installation in control panels, and its compact design (305 mm × 165 mm × 102 mm) fits easily in tight spaces. Whether in factories, power plants, or water treatment facilities, the GE IC693CHS391M provides a reliable foundation for automation systems.

Main Features and Advantages
Ample space: With 10 slots, the GE IC693CHS391M can hold multiple modules, so you don’t need extra racks for larger systems. This saves space in control cabinets and simplifies wiring.
Strong and durable: The steel chassis and protective coating make the GE IC693CHS391M resistant to dust, vibrations, and minor impacts—common in factories or power plants. It holds modules securely, even in rough conditions.
Easy to install: The rack comes with pre-drilled mounting holes, making it quick to attach to control panels. Modules slide into the slots and lock in place, so setup takes little time.
Works with all Series 90-30 modules: The GE IC693CHS391M is fully compatible with Series 90-30 CPUs, input/output modules, and communication modules like the IC693BEM331M. This means you can mix and match modules to fit your needs without issues.
Smooth communication: The built-in backplane connects all modules, letting them share data quickly. This ensures the PLC system runs smoothly, with no delays in sending commands to machines or sensors.
Application Areas
In manufacturing: Factories use the GE IC693CHS391M to hold modules that control assembly lines. For example, it might hold a CPU, input modules (to read sensor data), and output modules (to run motors or valves), keeping the line moving efficiently.
In power plants: It’s used in control systems for turbines or boilers. The rack holds modules that monitor pressure and temperature, sending data to the CPU to adjust operations and keep power generation stable.
In water treatment: The GE IC693CHS391M holds modules that control pumps and valves. Input modules read water levels, and the CPU uses that data to turn pumps on or off, ensuring treatment processes work as they should.
In oil and gas: It’s part of pipeline control systems, holding modules that track flow rates and pressure. This data helps adjust pump speeds, preventing leaks or overloads.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC693CHS391M, make sure the control panel is clean and dry. Check that there’s enough space around the rack for wiring and airflow. Ground the panel properly to avoid electrical issues. Use screws to mount the rack securely—tighten them enough so the rack doesn’t move, but not so much that the chassis bends.
Maintenance suggestions: Check the GE IC693CHS391M monthly for loose screws or dust. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to keep modules cool. Every three months, check that modules are locked in place—push them gently to ensure they’re secure. If a module isn’t working, remove it and reinsert it to fix loose connections. Avoid using water or cleaning chemicals, as they can damage the rack.
