Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and I/O Density Scaling
The chassis incorporates a dual-bus subsystem backplane structure that establishes simultaneous routing for PCI signaling and legacy serial communications. This arrangement facilitates multi-generation I/O density scaling, allowing the 16-slot frame to host both PACSystem RX3i architectures and Series 90-30 discrete or analog components. Backplane bus communication velocity is optimized through direct data plane traces, preventing performance degradation when multiple high-density communication modules execute parallel processing routines across the system rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC695CHS016 backplane support active hot-swapping of modules during system operation?
A: Yes. The mechanical bus connectors support hot-swapping functionality for compatible hardware modules. This allows maintenance personnel to remove or insert I/O components without disrupting the internal communications or shutting down power to adjacent active slots.
Q: How is the physical space allocated for modules requiring wider footprints, such as AC power supplies?
A: The 16 slots are uniform in geometry, but specialized modules (e.g., high-capacity AC power supply modules) will physically occupy two adjacent slots. The physical backplane configuration must be configured in the software logic to reflect the correct slot utilization matrix.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mechanical Placement: Install the backplane strictly in a horizontal orientation inside the enclosure panel. Fasten the chassis securely to the metal subpanel using standard mounting hardware through the integrated mounting holes.
- Environmental Clearances: Maintain a rigid minimum clearance boundary of 102 mm (4 inches) on all top, bottom, and side panels of the rack to allow natural convection air currents to cool the mounted modules.
- Grounding and Power Input: Connect the incoming isolated +24 VDC power supply to Terminal 7 of the TB1 strip, and terminate the isolated ground to Terminal 8. Utilize the integrated grounding bar and a low-impedance ground strap bonded directly to the enclosure earth system to suppress electrical transients.
