IC698CHS017

The GE Fanuc IC698CHS017 Rx7i I/O Rack is a 17-slot, rear-mounted I/O rack for the Rx7i PACsystem series. The IC698CHS017 Rack, like every Rx7i PACsystem rack, is designed to support the high-powered Rx7i PACsystem power supplies, and it comes with a VME64 backplane, which is almost 4 times faster than the standard VME-based systems and it supports all standard VME modules, including the VMIC and Series 90-70 I/O modules. The IC698CHS017 Rack features a built-in slot-sensing capability that requires no additional jumpers or DIP switches on I/O modules for I/O reference addressing. The IC698CHS017 Rack supports a higher wattage power supply, and it is compatible with the Rx7i AC power supply plug-in. The IC698CHS017 Rack has an open-style design and so it requires a standard enclosure with an IP 54 or higher rating for use on the factory floor.

The IC698CHS017 Rack has 17 I/O slots numbered 1 through 17. Slots 1 through 17 are spaced 0.8 inches apart to accommodate single-slot I/O modules. Slot 1 is reserved for only CPU modules, while another slot known as "slot 0" is reserved for the power supply. The IC698CHS017 Rack supports 15 single-width I/O modules, 8 double-width modules, or a combination of double-width and single-width modules. The IC698CHS017 Rack supports a 350 Watts power supply. It has a total current rating of 60 Amps at 5 Volts DC and one of 4 Amps at -12 Volts DC. Like all Rx7i racks, the IC698CHS017 Rack supports software configuration and I/O reference addressing by using the Windows-based CIMPLICITY Machine Edition Logic Developer-PLC software. The IC698CHS017 Rack has standard dimensions of 11.2 x 19.0 x 7.5 inches (H x W x D) and an operating  temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.
