More Information

Overview Manuals VME Module Fit Backplane Power Cabinet Conditions Slot Addressing

Features:

  • Seventeen 0.8-inch backplane positions accommodate compatible VME and IC697 modules.
  • Rear-panel mounting fits the chassis within a 10-inch-deep enclosure.
  • Optional power and J2 arrangements adapt the rack for demanding VME installations.
IC697CHS782 provides a compact way to mix full-width Series 90-70 hardware with narrower third-party VME boards in one mechanical platform.

Rack identification and VME slot configuration are set with backplane jumpers, allowing the controller configuration to distinguish the installed chassis and module positions.

A fan assembly can be added when the selected cards create a high-power thermal load, and the compatible fan revision must be matched to the chassis suffix.

Combining IC697 and VME Hardware

  • IC697 modules: Every Series 90-70 PLC module type is accepted, with each standard module spanning two 0.8-inch positions.
  • Third-party boards: Compatible VME modules designed for 0.8-inch spacing may occupy individual backplane positions.
  • CPU boundary: Series 90-70 CPU and I/O configurations are supported except redundancy applications.
  • RX7i expansion: When used behind an RX7i main rack, the chassis carries supported Series 90-70 modules and Genius devices but not RX7i power supplies or Ethernet modules.

Choosing the Rack Power Arrangement

  • Plug-in supplies: Standard IC697 AC/DC and DC power modules install in the dedicated supply position.
  • External source: A user-provided supply connects through the specified Power Supply Adapter rather than directly to the backplane.
  • Two-rack option: A single Series 90-70 supply can feed two chassis through the approved power cable arrangement.
  • High-current builds: The supply configuration must be selected from the combined +5 VDC and ±12 VDC demand of all installed boards.

Enclosure and Cooling Considerations

  • Cabinet depth: Rear mounting calls for a 10-inch-deep enclosure before connector and cable clearance is added.
  • Module projection: Series 90-70 cards extend about 1.7 inches beyond the chassis front.
  • VME profiles: Third-party boards may sit flush or project farther, so the deepest installed assembly governs door clearance.
  • Forced airflow: Optional fan hardware supports configurations whose installed power dissipation exceeds natural-cooling limits.

Assigning VME Backplane Positions

  • Rack identity: Four jumpers behind the power-supply position establish the chassis identification.
  • Slot layout: Backplane jumpers define how VME and Series 90-70 positions are interpreted.
  • J2 expansion: The optional accessory kit adds a J2 backplane or ribbon-cable connection where a VME board needs it.
  • Controller record: The configured rack and module map must match the physical position and width of every installed board.
Description
General Electric IC697CHS782 is a 17-slot VME Integrator rack that combines Series 90-70 control hardware with compatible third-party VME modules. Its 0.8-inch positions provide a denser mechanical arrangement than a standard IC697 rack.

Backplane jumpers define rack identification and VME-related options, while the installed power and J2 arrangements determine which module combinations the chassis can support. These details make the rack configuration itself part of system compatibility rather than a purely mechanical choice.

The rear-mount frame fits a 10-inch-deep enclosure and may require forced-air support when the installed module load or cabinet conditions demand it. Slot planning should consider board width, connector access and heat distribution so that narrow VME cards and full-width IC697 modules can coexist without obstructing service access.

Technical notes
IC697CHS782 uses 0.8-inch backplane spacing; each standard IC697 module occupies two positions, while compatible third-party VME modules may use single positions.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Will half-width VME boards fit beside Series 90-70 modules in IC697CHS782?
IC697CHS782 provides 0.8-inch backplane positions for compatible VME boards. A standard IC697 module spans two of those positions, so the slot plan must account for both widths.
How much enclosure depth is needed for rear-mounted IC697CHS782?
Allow a 10-inch-deep enclosure for IC697CHS782 and retain the service space required by installed modules, connectors, and field wiring.
What should be checked when a newly installed VME board is not recognized in IC697CHS782?
First compare the IC697CHS782 VME slot configuration with the controller setup, then inspect board addressing, seating, power demand, and any J2 connection required by that board.
Can IC697CHS782 operate from an external power supply?
Yes. IC697CHS782 can use an external source through the specified Power Supply Adapter, provided the +5 VDC and ±12 VDC demands remain within the rack limits.
Is IC697CHS782 suitable for a Series 90-70 redundancy application?
No. IC697CHS782 supports Series 90-70 CPU and I/O configurations except redundancy applications, so it should not be selected for that architecture.
Which fan assembly revision matches an early IC697CHS782 rack?
For IC697CHS782 revision A or later, current fan assemblies are supported; the earlier fan assembly applies only to A and B rack versions. Match both suffixes before installation.
How can two racks share one supply with IC697CHS782?
IC697CHS782 supports two-rack operation from one Series 90-70 supply using the specified power-supply cable arrangement. Verify combined loading before the second rack is energized.
