Overview and Function
The GE IC697CHS791 is a robust 9-slot backplane rack for high-end PLC systems. This unit, part of the GE Fanuc legacy now under Emerson Automation, hosts multiple control modules. Consequently, it forms the physical and electrical backbone for a Series 90-70 PLC station. It securely connects up to nine I/O, communication, or processor modules simultaneously.
Power and Expansion Flexibility
This rack supports both AC and DC input power supplies for versatile installation. Furthermore, it features a dedicated expansion port for connecting a secondary rack via cable. This design allows for scalable system I/O capacity to meet complex application needs. Therefore, you can build a distributed control system from a centralized logic processor.

Design for Reliability and Safety
The rack incorporates a sturdy steel chassis for mechanical protection and EMI shielding. Moreover, its mechanical keying system prevents incorrect module installation. This feature safeguards your valuable modules and the entire system’s integrity. For complete power distribution protection within the cabinet, a device like the RMS-TSG-TZ-C static trip unit is recommended.
Application and Integration Value
The GE IC697CHS791 is essential for building medium to large Series 90-70 control systems. Its robust construction guarantees a stable platform for critical automation modules. Choosing this genuine rack ensures perfect electrical contact and alignment for all modules. Ultimately, it provides the reliable foundation required for high-performance industrial control applications.
