GE IC693CHS397 Series 90-30 10-Slot Rack
Product Overview
The GE IC693CHS397 is a 10-slot rack designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC system, serving as a central framework to house and connect key automation components. It acts as a backbone, holding modules like controllers, I/O cards, and communication devices, ensuring they work together smoothly in industrial settings.
As a core part of the Series 90-30 ecosystem, the IC693CHS397 works seamlessly with modules such as the IC693CPU374 (controller), IC693PWR330 (power supply), and IC693ALG220 (analog input module). Its 10 slots provide enough space for medium-sized control systems, making it ideal for factories that need to balance functionality and space. Whether setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one, the IC693CHS397 fits easily into most industrial setups.
Built to handle tough conditions, the IC693CHS397 operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and resists dust, vibrations, and minor impacts—common in busy factories. Its sturdy steel frame protects internal connections, while clear slot labels make it easy to install and replace modules. This reliability ensures that automation systems in automotive plants, food processing facilities, and water treatment centers run without unnecessary interruptions.

Main features and advantages
Sturdy industrial build: The IC693CHS397 is made of thick galvanized steel, able to handle vibrations, dust, and temperature swings from 0°C to 60°C. This durability means it works reliably in tough spots like factory floors or outdoor control cabinets without extra protection.
Flexible slot capacity: With 10 slots, the IC693CHS397 can hold a mix of modules—from a controller and power supply to multiple I/O cards. This makes it perfect for medium-sized systems, letting factories start small and add more modules later as production grows.
Easy to install: The rack comes ready for DIN rail or panel mounting, with pre-drilled holes and clear slot labels. Modules slide in smoothly, and there’s no need for special tools, so technicians can set it up quickly—saving time during new installations or upgrades.
Works with all Series 90-30 parts: The IC693CHS397 is fully compatible with every Series 90-30 module, from old to new. This means users can reuse existing modules when upgrading, avoiding the cost of replacing their entire system.
Protects connected modules: The rack distributes power evenly to all slots and includes built-in fuses to shield modules from voltage spikes. This protects expensive components like the IC693CPU374 and keeps the whole system stable.
Application fields
The GE IC693CHS397 is widely used in industries relying on Series 90-30 PLCs:
In automotive plants, it holds modules that control assembly lines. For example, it houses a IC693CPU374 (to run robot logic) and IC693ALG220 (to monitor weld temperatures). The 10 slots let factories add extra I/O modules as they expand production lines for new car models.
In water treatment facilities, the IC693CHS397 holds modules that manage pumps and valves. It connects to level sensors (via I/O modules) and a IC693BEM331 (Ethernet module) to send data to control rooms, ensuring water flow stays steady and compliant with regulations.
In food processing plants, it houses modules controlling mixers, ovens, and packaging machines. Its steel build resists moisture from daily cleaning, and the 10 slots allow for adding modules to monitor new equipment like filling stations.
In small to medium factories, it serves as a central hub for machines like conveyors and presses. By holding all necessary modules in one place, it simplifies wiring and makes it easy to troubleshoot issues—like a faulty sensor—by checking the relevant slot.
Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Turn off power to the control cabinet before starting. Check that the mounting surface (DIN rail or panel) is flat and strong enough to hold the rack (2.7 kg) plus all modules. Gather screws and a screwdriver. Ensure there’s at least 10cm of space around the rack for module installation and airflow.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693CHS397 monthly for loose screws or dust buildup. Wipe the surface with a dry cloth to keep slots clean—dust can block module connections. Every three months, check that all modules are fully seated in their slots; a loose module can cause communication errors. If a module isn’t working, gently remove and reinsert it to ensure a tight fit before replacing it.
