More Information

Overview Manuals Specifications

Features:

  • 12-slot universal backplane for PACSystems RX3i with dual-bus architecture
  • Supports PCI-based and serial I/O modules with expansion capability
  • ATEX Zone 2 approved with integral grounding and hot installation support
The IC695CHS012 provides essential mounting and interconnection functions common to the entire control system, serving as the foundational component that directly affects the proper, normal operation of all installed modules.

For applications requiring distributed I/O, the IC695CHS012 includes a serial expansion connector in slot 12 for connection to RX3i Serial Expansion Modules (IC695LRE001). In addition to standard single-rack operation, this expansion capability allows the IC695CHS012 to serve as the main backplane in multi-rack systems.

The IC695CHS012's robust design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments. Using high-quality connectors and circuit board construction, the backplane maintains signal integrity across all 12 slots. The ATEX Zone 2 approval of the IC695CHS012 certifies its suitability for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres when mounted in an appropriate IP54 enclosure.

The IC695CHS012 General Electric modules may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The Model IC695CHS012 is a 12-slot Universal Backplane engineered for the PACSystems RX3i platform, providing a versatile dual-bus architecture that accommodates both PCI-based (IC695) modules and legacy serial-based (IC693 and IC694) I/O and option modules. This compatibility allows the IC695CHS012 to serve as a flexible foundation for control systems that integrate newer high-performance modules with existing Series 90-30 I/O investments. 

The IC695CHS012 incorporates several key interface points designed to simplify system integration and ensure reliable operation. A terminal strip (TB1) on the left end provides connections for isolated +24V input, which is required for some IC693 and IC694 modules that do not receive this power from the backplane. The IC695CHS012 also includes an integral grounding bar at the bottom for connecting module and shield grounds using M3 screws, promoting proper grounding practices for noise immunity. 

Installation requirements for the IC695CHS012 are clearly defined to ensure optimal performance and compliance with safety standards. The backplane must be mounted horizontally to provide adequate airflow around installed modules, with a minimum clearance of 102 mm (4 inches) required on all sides for cooling. The IC695CHS012 and its components are considered open equipment and must be installed within a protective enclosure providing at least IP20 protection (NEMA/UL Type 1 equivalent).

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 is the primary function and compatibility of the IC695CHS012 Universal Backplane?
The IC695CHS012 is a 12-slot Universal Backplane for the PACSystems RX3i platform, featuring a dual-bus architecture that supports both PCI-based (IC695) modules and legacy serial-based (IC693 and IC694) I/O and option modules. This compatibility allows the IC695CHS012 to integrate newer high-performance modules with existing Series 90-30 I/O investments, providing a flexible foundation for control system expansion and modernization.
What are the key installation requirements for the IC695CHS012?
The IC695CHS012 must be mounted horizontally to ensure adequate airflow around installed modules, with a minimum clearance of 102 mm (4 inches) required on all sides for proper cooling. The backplane and its components are considered open equipment and must be installed within a protective enclosure providing at least IP20 protection (NEMA/UL Type 1 equivalent). For Zone 2 hazardous area installations, the IC695CHS012 requires an enclosure with IP54 rating and ability to withstand 3.5 Joules impact energy.
How are slots configured on the IC695CHS012 and what modules can be installed?
The IC695CHS012 has specific slot assignments: Slot 0 (leftmost) is dedicated to IC695 Power Supply modules only. Slots 1 through 11 feature both PCI and serial bus connectors and can accept any compatible module type including IC695 CPUs, power supplies, and I/O modules, as well as IC694 and IC693 modules. Slot 12 (rightmost) is reserved exclusively for the RX3i Serial Expansion Module (IC695LRE001). Two-slot modules like the CPU310 can be installed spanning adjacent slots with right-justified connectors.
What special features does the IC695CHS012 include for system integration?
The IC695CHS012 includes several key integration features: a terminal strip (TB1) with pins 7-8 for connecting an external isolated +24V input required for some IC693/IC694 modules; an integral grounding bar at the bottom for connecting module and shield grounds using M3 screws; a serial expansion connector for linking to Expansion and Remote Backplanes; and pre-printed slot numbers for configuration reference. The backplane also supports hot installation of I/O modules when proper procedures are followed.
