Description
Product Description
The GE IC697CHS790 is a 9-slot rear mount rack for the GE Series 90-70 PLC systems, engineered to simplify CPU and I/O module configuration. The GE IC697CHS790 features a dedicated leftmost slot for AC or DC power supplies, and its rear-mount design fits 10-inch deep enclosures without extra fans. With dimensions 11.15” H x 19” W x 7.5” D, the GE IC697CHS790 has 1.6” standard slots and a 2.4” power supply slot, and it uses slot sensing to eliminate I/O module jumpers or switches. The GE IC697CHS790 also supports dual-rack operation via a Power Supply Extension Cable, letting two racks share one power supply. Compatible with all IC697 modules, the GE IC697CHS790 ensures reliable integration for industrial control systems.

- Mechanical Keying: Prevents incorrect module insertion, enhancing system reliability.
Application Cases
- Oil & Gas Refineries: The GE IC697CHS790 manages distributed I/O for pump, valve, and safety system control in harsh environments, supporting dual-rack setups for expanded I/O coverage.
- Power Generation: Used in turbine control systems (Mark I/II) to house CPU and I/O modules for speed, temperature, and pressure monitoring; its robust design ensures 24/7 operation.
- Manufacturing Automation: Automates assembly lines by configuring CPU and I/O modules on the GE IC697CHS790 for real-time production data processing and machine control.
- Water/Wastewater Treatment: Controls filtration and chemical dosing systems with reliable I/O integration, leveraging the GE IC697CHS790’s slot sensing for quick module swaps during maintenance.
Comparison with Competing Products
| Feature | GE IC697CHS790 | Competing Rack (e.g., Allen‑Bradley 1756‑A13) |
|---|---|---|
| Slot Count | 9 slots + 1 power supply slot | 13 slots (fixed power integration) |
| Mounting | Rear/front flexible; 10” enclosure fit | Front mount only; deeper enclosure needed |
| Power Flexibility | Dual‑rack shared power via cable | Limited shared power; extra hardware often required |
| I/O Setup | Slot sensing; no jumpers/switches | Manual DIP switches/jumpers for I/O config |
| Compatibility | All IC697 modules | Restricted to specific ControlLogix modules |
Selection Suggestions and Precautions
- Selection Suggestions:
- Choose the GE IC697CHS790 if you need 9‑slot scalability with rear mounting and dual‑rack power sharing.
- Match with IC697 power supplies (100W/55W AC/DC or 90W DC) based on your 5VDC current needs (up to 20A).
- Opt for the GE IC697CHS790 for Series 90‑70 retrofits or new builds requiring proven reliability.
- Precautions:
- Ensure 10” enclosure depth for rear mounting; allow space for module cooling.
- Use only GE‑approved IC697CBL700 cables for dual‑rack power sharing.
- Verify power supply current ratings (20A max for 100W units) to avoid overloading.
- Follow mechanical keying guidelines to prevent incorrect module insertion.
