                                                Overview

                                                IC695CHS007 is a compact 7-slot dual-bus universal backplane for Emerson PACSystems RX3i PLC platform (formerly GE Fanuc). It is the smallest rack in the RX3i backplane lineup, engineered for space-limited control cabinets with moderate I/O quantity. The dual-bus architecture supports both new IC695 PCI high-speed modules and legacy IC693/IC694 / Series 90-30 serial I/O modules, allowing mixed new & old hardware deployment to cut system upgrade costs.

                                                Key Functions

                                                1. Modular mounting carrier
                                                    
                                                   Installs RX3i CPU, power supply, analog/digital I/O and communication modules in one compact rack for small-scale control systems.
                                                2. Dual-bus signal transmission
                                                    
                                                   High-speed PCI bus handles modern IC695 modules for fast process data exchange; serial bus retains compatibility with legacy Series 90-30 I/O without full hardware replacement.
                                                3. Central internal power distribution
                                                    
                                                   Distributes regulated low-voltage power to all inserted modules via backplane traces from external 24VDC power supply.
                                                4. Hot-swap maintenance
                                                    
                                                   Supports online replacement of faulty I/O or communication modules without shutting down the whole rack, reducing production downtime.
                                                5. System expandability
                                                    
                                                   Matches IC695LRE001 expansion module to connect extra remote backplanes for larger I/O capacity.
                                                6. Unified grounding suppression
                                                    
                                                   Integrated grounding bar eliminates common-mode interference and stabilizes analog signal precision in noisy industrial cabinets.
