GE Fanuc (now Emerson Automation Solutions) recently introduced an important industrial automation component, the IC695CHS016. The 16-slot universal backplane is the centerpiece of the PACsystem RX3i Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) family, providing powerful support for building complex control systems.
The design of the IC695CHS016 backplane allows it to host a variety of general purpose controllers and I/O base modules, while integrating support for external component Interconnect (PCI) and high-speed serial buses. This means that it supports not only the RX3i module, but also the traditional 90-30 series PLC module. With dimensions of 601.98 x 141.5 x 147.32 mm, the backplane is capable of providing internal power at 600 mA @ 3.3 VDC and 240 mA @ 5 VDC for a variety of industrial automation applications.
A notable feature of this backplane is its support for hot-swappable modules, which greatly improves system availability and ease of maintenance. In addition, the IC695CHS016 also has an automatic module identification function, the system can automatically identify the installed module type and configure the corresponding, simplifying the user’s use process.
The application field of IC695CHS016 is very wide, it is not only suitable for industrial automation control system, but also can be used in robot control system and power system. Its launch further enriches GE Fanuc’s product line in the field of industrial automation and is expected to play an important role in enhancing the data processing capabilities of industrial systems.
With the continuous advancement of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, the launch of the IC695CHS016 backplane once again proves GE Fanuc’s technical strength in the field of automation and its deep understanding of customer needs. The launch of this backplane will undoubtedly provide industrial automation customers around the world with a more efficient and reliable solution to jointly explore the future of intelligent manufacturing.
