Features:

  • Supports RX7i modules, Series 90‑70 I/O modules, and VME64 modules; 0.8″ slot spacing; slot 0 for power supply; slot 1 for CPU.
  • No jumpers or DIP switches for I/O addressing; automatic interrupt and bus grant daisy chaining eliminates blank slot jumpers.
  • Accepts 100W or 350W power supplies; requires fan assembly for high‑power CPUs; optional fan assemblies (120V AC, 240V AC, 24V DC).
The IC698CHS017 provides a 17‑slot backplane that integrates three generations of GE Fanuc I/O modules. Slot 0 is dedicated to the power supply (100W or 350W). Slot 1 accepts the CPU; if a double‑width CPU with an Ethernet daughter card is used, it occupies slots 1 and 2. The remaining 15 slots (or 14 with double‑width CPU) can hold RX7i modules, Series 90‑70 I/O modules, or VME64 modules. Slot spacing is 0.8 inches (20.3 mm), which accommodates single‑width modules; double‑width Series 90‑70 modules occupy two slots.

In older PLC systems, each I/O module required manual configuration using DIP switches or jumpers to set its address. This was time‑consuming and error‑prone. The IC698CHS017 eliminates this with slot sensing. Each slot in the rack has a unique electrical identifier. When an I/O module is inserted, the backplane communicates its slot position to the CPU. The CPU then assigns I/O references based on the slot number, as configured in the software (CIMPLICITY Machine Edition). This means that a technician can replace a failed I/O module without setting any switches – just plug it in. Additionally, the backplane automatically handles daisy chaining of interrupt acknowledge and bus grant signals.

The IC698CHS017 is designed for demanding applications that require high current capacity. It accepts a 350W power supply (IC698PSA350) that delivers +5V at 60A, +12V at 12A, and -12V at 4A – sufficient for racks populated with many high‑power modules. However, high‑power CPUs like the IC698CPE020 and IC698CRE020 generate significant heat. The rack therefore requires a fan assembly when these CPUs or the 350W power supply are installed. Three fan assembly options are available: 120V AC (IC697ACC721), 240V AC (IC697ACC724), and 24V DC (IC697ACC744). The fan mounts on the bottom of the rack and blows air upward.

The IC698CHS017 GE I/O Thermocouple Thermocouple Input Block may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The IC698CHS017 is a 17‑slot rack for the GE Fanuc RX7i PACSystems controller. It accommodates RX7i modules, Series 90‑70 I/O modules, and VME modules. Slot 0 accepts a power supply, slot 1 accepts the CPU (double‑width CPUs use slots 1 and 2). The remaining slots can hold up to 15 single‑width modules, 8 double‑width modules, or a mix. 

When using the IC698CHS017, engineers benefit from slot sensing for automatic addressing – no jumpers or DIP switches on I/O modules are required. The backplane supports automatic daisy‑chaining of interrupt acknowledge and bus grant signals, so no blank slot jumpers are needed. 

The IC698CHS017 has two mounting versions: rear mount (IC698CHS017) and front mount (IC698CHS117). The rack must be properly grounded via #8‑32 ground studs using AWG #12 wire. For high‑vibration applications, modules can be secured with M2.5x8 screws. 

For legacy GE Fanuc system expansions, the IC698CHS017 provides a modern 17‑slot backplane that is backward‑compatible with Series 90‑70 I/O modules. It supports VME64 for high‑speed data transfer. The rack includes an insulator kit for high‑voltage modules. A blank faceplate is available for unused slots (single‑width IC698ACC735, double‑width IC698ACC720).

Technical notes
The IC698CHS017 uses slot sensing technology. Each slot sends a unique identifier to the CPU, allowing I/O modules to be addressed automatically without jumpers or DIP switches. This simplifies module replacement and reduces configuration errors.

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 modules fit in IC698CHS017?
The IC698CHS017 has 17 slots (0.8″ spacing). Slot 0 is for power supply, slot 1 for CPU (double‑width CPUs occupy slots 1‑2). The remaining slots hold up to 15 single‑width modules, 8 double‑width modules, or a combination. The power supply capacity may limit the number.
Does IC698CHS017 support VME modules?
Yes. The IC698CHS017 is designed to support VME64 modules, providing J2 backplane connectors for high‑speed transfers of up to 64 data bits per cycle. VME integration must follow the guidelines in the RX7i User’s Guide to Integration of VME Modules (GFK‑2235).
Is a fan required for IC698CHS017?
A rack fan assembly is required if you install the IC698CPE020 or IC698CRE020 CPU, or the 350W power supply (IC698PSA350). Fan options: 120V AC (IC697ACC721), 240V AC (IC697ACC724), or 24V DC (IC697ACC744). Maintain 9-inch clearance between racks for fan removal.
How do I ground IC698CHS017?
Connect the #8‑32 ground studs on the rack sides to earth ground using AWG #12 wire (3.33 mm²) with ring terminals and star washers. Also connect the power supply GND terminal to the rack GND terminal. Proper grounding reduces electrical noise and is required for safety certification.
