GE IC693CHS393 10-Slot I/O Baseplate

Product Description

The GE IC693CHS393 is a high-performance 10-slot I/O baseplate for the Series 90-30 PLC system. It provides robust mechanical support and reliable electrical connectivity for installing CPU, power supply, and I/O modules. Therefore, it enables efficient expansion of industrial control systems while maintaining signal integrity over long distances.

Designed for remote installations, the baseplate supports high-speed serial communication up to 700 feet between the CPU and remote modules. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with discrete, analog, or specialty I/O modules, allowing flexible system configuration. The unit requires an external power supply to operate the I/O modules, ensuring stable performance in demanding industrial environments.

In addition, the IC693CHS393 supports DIN rail or panel mounting for versatile installation. Its compact footprint and 10-slot capacity make it ideal for system expansions without consuming excessive panel space. Engineers can rely on this baseplate to maintain consistent system operation and simplify maintenance tasks.
