Overview Manuals Six-Slot Layout Module Keying Mounting Envelope Expansion Link

Features:

  • Six freely assignable I/O positions fit a compact Series Five base.
  • Separate power and processor locations preserve the standard rack sequence.
  • Four-point panel mounting supports a rigid cabinet installation.
The narrower chassis suits systems that need fewer local modules while keeping the electrical and mechanical conventions used throughout the Series Five platform.

Each I/O reference can be assigned to the appropriate slot through Logicmaster 5, so cabinet position does not force a single fixed address order for mixed discrete or analog hardware.

Three compatible supply choices let the same base be built around 115/230 VAC or 24 VDC input, with the installed module load determining whether six or twelve amps of backplane capacity are required.

Organizing processor, interface, and I/O positions

  • Power location: The Series Five supply occupies the far-left position and feeds the chassis backplane.
  • Controller position: A CPU mounts immediately beside the supply when IC655CHS506 serves as the primary base.
  • Expansion position: A local I/O interface uses that same adjacent location when the chassis is added to an I/O chain.
  • I/O sequence: The six remaining positions run from 0 to 5, beginning at the slot next to the CPU or interface.

Preparing a stable surface for the six-slot frame

  • Template method: Hold IC655CHS506 in its intended position to transfer the four mounting-hole locations to the panel.
  • Upper support: Start the two top fasteners loosely so the chassis can hang in place while the lower holes are aligned.
  • Final fastening: Install the lower bolts before tightening all four points, preventing the frame from twisting against the backplate.
  • Cabinet allowance: Provide at least 139 mm of depth and additional clearance wherever module bodies or conductors extend beyond the base.

Preserving convection around a populated IC655CHS506

  • Orientation: Mount the base horizontally so rising air can pass through the installed Series Five modules.
  • Top and bottom: Keep approximately 50 mm clear on both edges instead of crowding the chassis against ducts or neighboring equipment.
  • Side access: Similar free space at each end supports airflow and leaves room to attach or remove I/O expansion connectors.
  • Heat check: Design the enclosure so air entering the modules does not exceed 60 °C at the expected rack load.

Extending local I/O from the compact base

  • Interface requirement: Every IC655CHS506 used beyond the CPU base needs a local I/O interface beside its power supply.
  • Bus connection: Either side connector may continue the daisy chain, leaving the opposite connector available for the preceding or following base.
  • Base identity: Assign each chassis a unique number from 0 through 7, reserving ID 0 for the rack that contains the CPU.
  • End termination: Fit the I/O terminator to the unused connector on the last base so the local bus ends correctly.
Description
General Electric IC655CHS506 is a compact Series Five base unit with six assignable I/O slots plus the dedicated positions used by the power supply and CPU or local I/O interface. It provides the mechanical frame and backplane connections for a CPU base or expansion arrangement.

Slots 0 through 5 begin beside the processor or interface position, and their I/O references are established in the controller configuration. Mixed discrete, analog and supported intelligent modules can therefore be arranged to suit cabinet and signal needs rather than a single mandatory slot sequence.

The narrower frame is useful where six local module positions are sufficient and panel width is limited. Its mounting points, side-bus connections and module clearances must remain accessible so the compact chassis can be installed without compromising expansion cabling or terminal access.

Technical notes
IC655CHS506 uses four mounting points; loosely seat the upper fasteners first, install the lower pair, then tighten the complete chassis evenly.

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.
How many I/O modules can IC655CHS506 hold?
IC655CHS506 provides six numbered I/O positions in addition to the dedicated power-supply and CPU or interface locations.
Can IC655CHS506 be used as either a CPU base or an expansion base?
Yes. IC655CHS506 accepts a CPU beside the supply in the controller rack or a local I/O interface in that position when configured as an expansion base.
What enclosure depth is needed for IC655CHS506?
Plan a cabinet at least 5.5 in (139 mm) deep for IC655CHS506, increasing that allowance if the installed modules or field wiring project farther forward.
Where does I/O slot 0 begin on IC655CHS506?
On IC655CHS506, slot 0 is the first I/O position immediately to the right of the CPU or local I/O interface, followed by slots 1 through 5.
What mounting holes should be prepared for IC655CHS506?
Use IC655CHS506 as the template for four holes on 15.00 × 7.90 in centers; use 0.25 in clearance holes for through bolts or 0.19 in tapped holes.
How is power capacity checked for modules fitted to IC655CHS506?
Add the maximum backplane current of the CPU or interface and all six installed modules, then confirm the chosen Series Five supply can support the IC655CHS506 configuration.
What should be installed beside the power supply in an IC655CHS506 expansion rack?
A local I/O interface belongs immediately beside the supply in an IC655CHS506 expansion rack, occupying the same position used by the CPU in the controller base.
