Product Overview

---

The GE IC698CHS009 is a high-performance 9-slot VME64 backplane module designed for use with the GE Fanuc RX7i PACSystems series. Engineered to provide reliable mechanical and electrical connectivity for RX7i CPUs and modules, it serves as the backbone of modular control systems where robust performance, long-term stability, and scalable expansion are essential. With its VME64 bus interface, the IC698CHS009 enables high-speed communication between the processor and I/O or special-purpose modules.

The backplane is constructed from industrial-grade materials to ensure optimal signal integrity, minimal noise interference, and reliable long-term operation in demanding industrial environments. As a passive component, it does not require power itself, but it facilitates power distribution to all installed modules via the power supply unit mounted to the chassis.
