More Information

Overview Manuals Front-Rack Modules Panel Access Heat Removal Bus Termination

Features:

  • Front mounting positions nine Series 90-70 module faces at the equipment rack aisle.
  • A standard IC697 backplane supports CPU, I/O, and communication module combinations.
  • Rack-number jumpers coordinate the physical chassis with its controller configuration.
IC697CHS791 is intended for installations where operators and maintenance staff need direct access to module indicators, handles, and terminal assemblies.

A 19-inch rack structure supports the chassis from the front, producing a different mechanical and cable-routing arrangement from the rear-panel IC697CHS790.

The rack may join several Series 90-70 system topologies, but its role in an RX7i installation is limited to the supported expansion tier.

Supported Chassis Roles

  • Series 90-70 hardware: Nine standard positions accept IC697 processors, I/O, communication, and bus-interface modules.
  • System topology: Installed interfaces determine whether the chassis functions as a CPU, local expansion, or remote I/O rack.
  • RX7i service: The rack can retain compatible Series 90-70 modules and Genius devices as part of an RX7i expansion system.
  • Architecture limit: It cannot replace an RX7i main rack or carry RX7i-only power and Ethernet hardware.

Planning Rack-Side Access

  • Mounting frame: The chassis attaches at the front of a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
  • Working clearance: Space in the service aisle must allow module handles to operate without obstruction.
  • Cable routing: Conductors leave the module faces toward the rack front and must not cover indicators or adjacent hardware.
  • Support check: Rack rails and fasteners carry the populated chassis load rather than relying on a rear-panel surface.

Supporting the Installed Module Set

  • Supply position: A dedicated location on the left side receives the selected Series 90-70 power module.
  • Backplane demand: The +5 VDC and ±12 VDC requirements of all nine positions are totalled before a supply is chosen.
  • Fan selection: Forced-air assemblies are available when the installed hardware exceeds natural-cooling conditions.
  • Hardware suffix: Fan compatibility depends on both the IC697CHS791 revision and the fan-assembly revision.

Matching the Physical Rack Map

  • Rack number: Four jumpers behind the power supply encode the identity used by the controller.
  • Module order: Each configured position must agree with the hardware fitted to the corresponding 1.6-inch slot.
  • Mechanical keys: Key positions are retained during replacement to prevent the wrong module type from entering a slot.
  • Startup diagnosis: A rack mismatch is traced by comparing jumper settings, bus order, and the stored slot assignment.
Description
General Electric IC697CHS791 is a nine-slot front-mount standard rack for Series 90-70 controllers and supported I/O or communication modules. Its mounting arrangement places the chassis and module faces at the front of a 19-inch rack structure for direct aisle-side access.

The front-mount design changes the available cable path and service clearance compared with the rear-mount IC697CHS790, although both use the standard IC697 backplane and 1.6-inch module spacing. The selected enclosure must leave room for terminal assemblies, module handles and connected bus cables.

Rack-number jumpers associate the physical chassis with the controller configuration, and expansion installations require the correct bus connection and final termination. Power-supply capacity and cooling are evaluated for the actual module population rather than inferred from the empty chassis rating.

Technical notes
IC697CHS791 front mounting keeps module handles and indicators accessible from the service aisle; cable routing must preserve that unobstructed working space.

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.
What distinguishes the mounting of IC697CHS791 from a rear-panel chassis?
IC697CHS791 is a front rack-mount chassis, so the enclosure and support structure must present the module face at the rack front rather than fixing the chassis to a rear panel.
How many slots are available in IC697CHS791?
IC697CHS791 supplies nine module positions. Assign every slot before installation so the physical arrangement matches the configured expansion rack.
Can IC697CHS791 replace the RX7i main rack?
No. IC697CHS791 occupies an expansion-rack position; an RX7i main rack cannot be used as an expansion chassis and the two roles are not interchangeable.
Which device groups are supported in IC697CHS791 expansion service?
IC697CHS791 accepts compatible Series 90-70 modules and Genius devices supported by the RX7i expansion environment.
Are RX7i power and Ethernet modules allowed in IC697CHS791?
No. IC697CHS791 does not support RX7i power supplies or the RX7i Ethernet module while operating as a Series 90-70 expansion rack.
How does IC697CHS791 affect front service access?
Because IC697CHS791 faces the rack front, clearance must remain for module handles, status viewing, terminal work, and controlled hardware replacement.
Which checks should precede power-up of IC697CHS791?
Before IC697CHS791 is energized, compare rack order, expansion connections, slot assignments, power-supply type, and installed modules with the controller configuration.
