GE FANUC IC697CHS791 , 9-Slot, Front Mount PLC Rack , I/O Configurations

Product Description

The IC697CHS791 is a 9-slot, front mount PLC rack in the GE Fanuc series. The IC697CHS791 front mount rack is compatible with all IC697 PLC module types. The IC697CHS791 rack is mounted in a standard 19” rack. This rack is designed for use of the CPU and I/O configurations. All slots on the IC697CHS791 rack are 1.6” wide in exception for the power supply slot, which is 2.4” in width. The IC697CHS791 rack is equipped with slot sensing, which is necessary for rack-type I/O modules created for the IC697 PLC. Rack-type IC697 high density I/O modules are housed in the IC697CHS791’s 9-slot racks. The modules use a wiring terminal board, and each I/O module capacity can be up to 40 AWG wires. The group of wires is driven through the terminal board cavity where a cleat is provided to secure the wires to the terminal board housing.

In the mechanical keying process, to avoid unintended swap of one module type for another, a key is designed for each module type. Once the module is inserted into the IC697CHS791 rack, the key will latch onto the middle rail of the rack where it will stay once the module is removed. The rack slots are designed for the correct module type to be placed in that slot. If the module needs to be moved to another location in the rack, the key can be removed by pushing upward. This will release the latch. When there are several racks in a system, all racks receive a number between 0-7 with the CPU rack always being 0. Four binary -programmed jumpers located on the IC697CHS791 rack’s backplane are the derived point for the PLC determination of the numbers for each rack.

About IC697CHS791

The GE Fanuc IC697CHS791 rack is a standard 9-slot rack that is front-mounted. This 9-slot rack is part of the GE Series 90-70 product line. The purpose of the IC697CHS791 9-slot rack is to be part of the base of a programmable logic controller or PLC system and to host up to 9 PLC modules at a time. The IC697CHS791 rack’s dimensions are 11.15 x 19 x 7.5 inches. This rack is made to mount in the front on another rack that is a standard 19-inch or 480-millimeter rack, and it normally does not need to have a fan installed to cool it down. The IC697CHS791 rack can be used in any Series 90-70 PLC I/O and CPU configuration and they accept all types of GE Series 90-70 IC697 PLC modules.

On the GE IC697CHS791 9-slot standard rack, there is a power supply connector located to the left of all the module slots where the power supply module for the rack is connected. The power supply can be an AC supply or a DC supply. This rack can also be connected to another rack and they can share a power supply in an extended I/O application setup, and this connection is made possible with a GE power supply expansion cable kit. The IC697CHS791 9-slot rack needs 0.5 Amps of current from the I/O Bus. The modules that it hosts are secured in place with mechanical keying. Modules that have been keyed in place can be removed if necessary, but keying prevents them from being removed to easily, installed in the wrong slot, or from being used to replace the wrong module.
