PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC694ACC310 is a blank slot filler module designed for PACSystems RX3i controller platforms. This accessory module covers an unused single chassis slot to protect internal backplane connections from industrial contaminants. It blocks dirt, dust, grease, and moisture from reaching sensitive system circuitry. It also shields unpopulated slot terminals from conductive airborne debris generated during machining or panel modifications.
This dummy module maintains standard I/O module exterior dimensions to deliver uniform panel appearance across the rack. It draws zero backplane current and requires no software configuration or programming inside Proficy Machine Edition. Technicians can perform removal and insertion under power safely during maintenance routines. There is no limit to the quantity of filler units deployed in an automation system.

PRODUCT FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the GE IC694ACC310?
The module covers an empty single slot to prevent dust, moisture, and conductive debris from contaminating backplane connectors.
Does the IC694ACC310 require software configuration or logic programming?
No. The IC694ACC310 is a passive mechanical accessory that requires no addressing, configuration, or software programming.
Can the IC694ACC310 module be installed while the system is powered?
Yes. It supports removal and insertion under power without halting PACSystems RX3i controller operations.
How many IC694ACC310 filler modules can be used in a single rack?
There is no installation limit. Any number of vacant baseplate slots can receive an IC694ACC310 cover.
