PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC695CHS012 is a PACSystems RX3i backplane designed for modular industrial automation setups. This unit provides 12 available slots for system modules. It incorporates a dual-bus architecture featuring both a high-speed PCI bus and a serial bus. This backplane accepts both AC and DC power supply modules. It also maintains compatibility with legacy Series 90-30 I/O modules.
The backplane supports hot module insertion and removal for all modules except the CPU. This capability allows hardware replacements without shutting down system power. Expansion backplane connections operate using dedicated I/O expansion cables. Remote backplane connections support custom-length cables with an external terminating resistor. Total heat dissipation for the unit is rated at 3.18 Watts.
