GE Fanuc IC693CHS397M Series 90-30 5-Slot Modular CPU Baseplate

This is a New In Box, Old Stock (NOS) GE Fanuc (Emerson) IC693CHS397M modular CPU baseplate. Designed as the foundational backplane for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) family, this chassis provides the essential power routing and communication pathways required to host a central processor and various I/O modules in industrial automation systems.

Key Features

• 5-Slot Modular Design: Houses one modular CPU (or specialty communication module) in Slot 1, and accommodates up to four I/O or option modules in Slots 2 through 5.
• Dedicated Power Slot: Features a uniquely sized, unnumbered leftmost slot specifically keyed to accept only a Series 90-30 power supply module.
• Scalable Architecture: Equipped with a built-in 25-pin D-shell female expansion connector on the right edge, allowing you to easily daisy-chain to expansion or remote baseplates.
• Secure Installation: Slots are uniquely sized to prevent accidental misplacement of modules, and the baseplate itself includes built-in mounting tabs for secure panel mounting inside electrical enclosures.
• Central System Hub: Functions as the primary "Rack 0" in a Series 90-30 setup, providing the vital communication bus across all installed modules.
