Applications
The GE IC697CHS791 rack serves as the base for Series 90-70 PLC systems in manufacturing and process control. It supports any Series 90-70 PLC I/O and CPU configuration and accepts all IC697 modules. Use it as a primary rack for up to nine modules, or connect it to a second rack with a power supply expansion cable kit to share a single power supply in extended I/O setups. PLC Source PRO supplies this rack with fast quote response and quick dispatch for automation spares.
Compatibility
The IC697CHS791 is compatible with all GE Series 90-70 IC697 PLC modules. The power supply connector sits to the left of the module slots and accepts either an AC or DC power supply module. Mechanical keying secures modules in place to prevent installation in the wrong slot or replacement with an incorrect module, while still allowing keyed modules to be removed when needed.
Installation and Maintenance
The GE IC697CHS791 rack mounts in the front of a standard 19-inch or 480 mm rack. It typically requires no cooling fan. The rack draws 0.5 Amps from the I/O bus. For maintenance, verify the power supply connection and module keying before startup. Connect a second rack using a GE power supply expansion cable kit when expanding I/O capacity.
