Description
GE IC693CHS393 Series 90-30 Backplane Rack
Product Overview
The GE IC693CHS393 is a 10-slot backplane rack made for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems—a popular choice in industrial automation. This rack is like a base that holds other PLC parts, such as the main processor, power supply, and input/output modules, keeping them connected so they can work together.
As part of the IC693 Series, the GE IC693CHS393 lets data and power flow between all the modules plugged into it. This means the PLC can quickly send commands to machines and get info from sensors. It’s designed to fit perfectly with other Series 90-30 parts, making it easy to build or expand a control system.
The IC693CHS393 works well in tough places—like factories, power plants, or water treatment sites—handling temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity up to 95% (no condensation). Even though GE no longer makes it, the GE IC693CHS393 is still key for keeping older Series 90-30 systems running, which saves money by avoiding full upgrades.

Main features and advantages
Plenty of space: With 10 slots, the IC693CHS393 can hold all the parts needed for a full control system. You can add more modules later if you need to expand—no extra racks required.
Solid connections: The backplane makes sure all modules stay linked tightly. This means data moves smoothly, so the PLC responds quickly to changes (like a sensor detecting a problem).
Tough build: It works in hot, cold, or damp places—perfect for factories, power plants, or outdoor setups. Dust and vibrations don’t mess with its performance.
Easy to set up: You can mount the IC693CHS393 on a DIN rail or panel with simple tools. Modules slide in easily and click into place, so you don’t need special skills to install it.
Works with old parts: It fits all Series 90-30 modules, so you can keep using your existing parts instead of buying a whole new system. This saves money and keeps production from stopping.
Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Check that the IC693CHS393 fits in your control cabinet. Mount it securely on a DIN rail or panel—make sure it’s straight. Plug in the power supply first, then slide other modules into the slots. Push each module until it clicks to ensure a good connection.
Maintenance suggestions: Check the IC693CHS393 regularly for dust or loose modules. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to keep it cool. If a module isn’t working, pull it out and push it back in to make sure it’s seated right. Keep a spare IC693CHS393 in a dry, cool place (10–30°C) so you can swap it quickly if needed.
Application fields
The GE IC693CHS393 is used wherever Series 90-30 PLC systems run:
- Factories: In car or electronics plants, it holds modules that control assembly lines, robots, and conveyor belts. The 10 slots let workers add modules for tasks like checking part quality or adjusting machine speed.
- Power plants: It holds parts that monitor turbines, control fuel flow, and keep the power grid stable. Its tough build handles the heat and noise of these sites.
- Water treatment: It holds modules that run pumps, open/close valves, and check water quality. It works well in damp, chemically exposed areas.
- Food processing: In bottling or packaging lines, it holds modules that run filling machines and check for empty containers. It stays reliable even in dusty or wet conditions.
