The GE Fanuc IC698CHS009 Rx7i I/O Rack is a 9-slot I/O rack for the Rx7i PACsystem series. This rear-mounted I/O rack is compatible with all Rx7i CPUs and I/O devices, the Series 90-70 I/Os, and the VME modules. The IC698CHS009 Rack comes with a slot-sensing capability, and it supports software configuration, eliminating the need for DIP Switches or jumpers for I/O addressing. The IC698CHS009 Rack also provides automatic daisy-chaining of the interrupt acknowledgement and bus grant signals, eliminating the need for slot jumpers, and it supports the Rx7i power supply plug-ins. The IC698CHS009 Rack has 9 I/O slots for installing Rx7i CPUs, I/O modules, and power modules. The slot numbered 1 through 8 are 20 millimeters wide and they support only single-slot modules. Slot 9 is 40.6 millimeters wide and it supports double-width modules. Slot 1 number is reserved only for CPUs and “slot 0” which is 61 millimeters wide is for the power supply module.
The IC698CHS009 Rack supports the 100 and 350 Watts rated power supplies. With the 100 Watts power supply, the IC698CHS009 Rack has a maximum current rating of 20 Amps at 5 Volts DC and one of 1 Amp at -12 Volts DC, and with a 350 Watts power supply, it has a maximum current rating of 60 Amps at 5 Volts DC and one of 4 Amps at -12 Volts DC. The IC698CHS009 Rack supports software configuration. I/O slot addressing is achieved by using the Machine Edition Logic Developer-PLC software. The IC698CHS009 Rack supports the use of optional fan assembly like the IC698CPE020/CRE020 assembly for enhanced cooling. The IC698CHS009 Rack is an open-design device that requires a standard IP 54 enclosure for protection on any factory floor. It has an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degree Celsius and total dimensions of 283 x 320 x 190 millimeters.
