Expansion Capabilities
The GE IC697CHS790 supports extended I/O configurations effectively. You can connect two additional racks to this main baseplate. These racks share power supply modules without extra hardware. This design reduces your overall system cost significantly. Moreover, it maintains clean signal integrity across long distances.
Installation and Mechanical Features
This rear mount design simplifies cabinet wiring and maintenance. Steel construction provides excellent mechanical rigidity and vibration resistance. All slot guides feature precise alignment for smooth module insertion. You will appreciate the clearly labeled slot numbers for error-free installation.
Power Distribution and Energy Storage
The GE IC697CHS790 distributes 5V DC and 24V DC from the power supply to each slot. Each slot receives clean, regulated power for stable module operation. The backplane includes passive energy storage components for transient protection. These capacitors smooth out voltage spikes during motor starts or faults. As a result, your system avoids unexpected resets or data corruption.
Integration Notes
Use this rack with any IC697 CPU like the IC697CPX772 or IC697CPX928. The GE IC697CHS790 remains a reliable choice for legacy system upgrades or new Emerson-based control panels. Order this baseplate to expand your Series 90-70 system today.
