In compact skids powering high-speed packaging lines or remote pump stations, rack builders need backplanes that pack CPU, power, and mixed I/O into tight footprints without sacrificing bus speed. At a New Jersey bottling plant squeezing lines into 10-foot bays, GE IC695CHS007-AA hosts RX3i CPUs alongside analog inputs and NIUs, enabling full control scans over PCI lanes without sprawling multi-racks. Offshore oil platforms in the Gulf mount it in vibration-proof cabinets, linking motion CPUs to Profibus drives for valve sequencing amid saltwater corrosion. Compact machine tools in German auto plants use it to consolidate HMI gateways and safety relays, dodging the bulk of legacy 90-30 expansions.
Solar inverter farms in Arizona or electric vehicle battery testers turn to GE IC695CHS007-AA where panels demand DIN-rail density, its universal slots blending new RX3i modules with proven 90-30 I/O for phased migrations. Wastewater booster stations embed it for redundant CPU setups, handling serial and PCI traffic in sealed NEMA boxes. These scenarios showcase its fit in industrial automation: a 7-slot universal backplane that unifies control systems in space-crunched environments, from skid builds to retrofit cabinets. Integrators count on its grounding bar to tame EMI, ensuring clean signals where every inch matters.
Product Role in Compact Racks
The GE IC695CHS007-AA provides a 7-slot Universal Backplane for Emerson PACSystems RX3i systems, supporting PCI-based controllers and high-speed serial I/O in a single DIN-rail rack. Slot 0 dedicates to IC695 power supplies, slots 1-5 handle dual-bus modules (PCI + serial), and slot 6 takes PCI-only IC695 cards—compatible with Series 90-30 modules for hybrid upgrades. Integrated +24VDC terminal strip and grounding bar distribute isolated user power, drawing 240mA at 5VDC and 600mA at 3.3VDC internally.
Panel designers deploy the GE IC695CHS007-AA in standalone CPU drops or networked expansions, pairing with IC695CPU315 for Proficy configurations that auto-detect slots. Hot-insert procedures allow live swaps per GFK-2314, ideal for 24/7 uptime. Its compact frame fits NEMA-1 enclosures with 4-inch clearances, scaling from 1-rack pilots to distributed PAC fleets. This backplane streamlines RX3i architectures, marrying density with flexibility for modern control builds.
Core Strengths and Performance
Space-strapped integrators lean on the GE IC695CHS007-AA for seamless dual-bus operation—PCI hits 1GB/s peaks for CPUs, serial sustains 90-30 I/O legacy at full rack loads without bottlenecks. Mechanical tweaks in -AA revisions align module pins precisely, slashing bent-connector field fails by 90% versus early lots. Rugged aluminum extrusion survives 60°C ambients with 102mm vent space, IP20-rated for tool-access panels.
Extraction levers and printed slot IDs speed module swaps, while TB1 accepts 14-22AWG for external +24V—essential for IC694 field modules sans backplane feed. The GE IC695CHS007-AA self-grounds shields via integral bar, killing noise in VFD-heavy zones. No active cooling needed up to 30W loads, with MTBF exceeding 500k hours per logged installs. Field upgrades to -BA enhance engagement, but -AA holds firm in legacy PAC sites.

Installation and Upkeep Tips
Secure the GE IC695CHS007-AA to DIN rail with M3 screws at 4 in-lb max, leaving 4 inches clearance all sides—power down before slotting modules, starting with PS in 0. Crimp 14AWG to TB1 for +24V user power, single-point ground shields at bar to kill loops; torque 7 in-lbs. Verify slot prints match Proficy config, test hot-insert on spares first per GFK-2314 sequence.
Annual thermal scans keep cases under 60°C; clean dust from vents quarterly in process areas. Inspect extraction levers for wear—stiff ones signal alignment shifts—and reseat modules post-vibration events. No firmware, but check -BA upgrades for high-insert cycles; avoid stacking without spacers.
