The IC697CHS771 PLC rack has been designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc in GE Series 90-70. It is a rack for programmable logic controllers or PLCs that comes with 6 slots per system and it can support 2 systems at a time. The IC697CHS771 PLC rack can be used as a part of different PLCs with a variety of different setups. The 6 slots on the IC697CHS771 PLC rack are used to host a variety of modules and I/O. This rack requires 0.5 Amps of current from the PLC I/O bus in order to operate. It can draw 20 Amps of current with 100 Watts of power from either a 120/240 Volts AC power supply or from a 125 Volts DC power supply. 

Additionally, the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 IC697CHS771 PLC rack can draw 11 Amps of current with 55 Watts of power from a 120/240 Volts AC power supply or a 125 Volts DC power supply, and 18 Amps of current with 90 Watts of power from both a 24 Volts DC power supply and a 48 Volts DC power supply. For safety, the IC697CHS771 PLC rack and all the other racks in the PLC setup must have the same ground potential, and the cable that connects the Bus Transmitter Module (BTM) to the last Bus Receiver Module (BRM) in the PLC must not be more than 50 feet long. In addition to the 6 slots for hosting different PLC devices, the IC697CHS771 PLC rack has an extra specialized slot on the far left side of the other slots for hosting the power supply.
