PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC694CHS398 is a serial expansion backplane for PACSystems RX3i control systems. This unit provides five dedicated module slots for system expansion. It operates from a nominal 5 VDC supply voltage. The unit requires an internal current draw of 170 mA. Total power consumption is rated at 0.85 W. The base chassis allows integration of expansion modules into distributed control architectures.
The backplane supports operating environments from 0°C to 40°C. Storage temperatures also range from 0°C to 40°C. Relative humidity must remain below 80 percent without condensation. The hardware supports installation altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level. Total unit weight is 1.94 lbs, equivalent to 0.88 kg. The hardware integrates directly into standard industrial enclosures.
