IC698CHS117 | GE FANUC | 17-Slot Front Mount Rack

Description

The IC698CHS117 is a 17-slot front mount rack from the Rx7i PACsystem series, engineered for GE Fanuc PLC systems. Featuring a robust, durable structure, it is designed to house a variety of modules, with a VME64 backplane system that delivers 4 times the bandwidth of standard VME backplanes, enabling faster I/O throughput. Equipped with a built-in cooling fan for temperature regulation, it maintains stable operating conditions for installed components. The rack has a backplane connector spacing of 0.8 inches (20.3 millimeters), accommodating single-width Rx7i modules, VME modules, and single-width 90-70 series modules; double-width 90-70 series modules occupy two slots each. Slot 0 is designated for a power supply, slot 1 for a CPU, and Rx7i CPUs with Ethernet subcards (double-width modules) use slots 1 and 2. The remaining slots support flexible I/O configurations, including 15 single-width modules, 8 double-width modules, or a mixed combination. Classified as an open device, it must be installed in an enclosure with an IP54 or higher protection rating. It supports GE Fanuc Rx7i CPUs, Rx7i I/O modules, 90-70 series I/O, and all standard VME modules, and is designed for easy installation and maintenance.
