Maintaining a backplane bus communication velocity across distances up to 15 meters, the chassis routes address logic, data lines, and control signals across all 5 active slots. Integrated grounding terminals maintain firm chassis ground continuity across all expansion racks, ensuring consistent firmware flash compatibility and signal integrity between local and expanded I\/O density scaling configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How is the expansion rack address set on the IC693CHS398 baseplate?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Rack address identification is established using the hardware DIP switch settings located on the baseplate assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is the maximum number of IC693CHS398 expansion baseplates allowed in a single PLC system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Systems using CPU 331, 340, or 341 support up to 4 expansion baseplates, while CPU 350 or higher models support up to 7 baseplates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Are all Series 90-30 option modules compatible with the IC693CHS398 I\/O slots?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The IC693CHS398 does not support PCM, ADC, Bus Expansion (BEM), or CMM311 modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe-energize all primary and expansion sub-rack power sources before installing or mounting the baseplate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear an ESD grounding wrist strap attached to cabinet metalwork prior to handling chassis hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure the IC693CHS398 baseplate to the enclosure mounting panel using appropriate hardware through the baseplate mounting holes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the rack address DIP switch to the unique assigned expansion rack number before inserting modules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect the 25-pin D-shell expansion cable (e.g., IC693CBL302) to the right-side connector, securing the locking thumbscrews to ensure full shield continuity and ground bonding across racks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43787735466074,"sku":"IC693CHS398","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5957\/0778\/files\/IC693CHS398.jpg?v=1785920002","url":"https:\/\/www.spareoil.com\/ar\/products\/ic693chs398-ge-series-90-30-expansion-baseplate","provider":"SpareOil Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
