Product Description

GE IC698RMX016

The GE IC698RMX016 is a high-performance, 16-slot universal backplane designed by GE Fanuc for its flagship PACSystem RX3i Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) platform. Serving as the physical and electrical connection backbone of the entire PACSystem RX3i control system, this backplane’s core function is to provide an installation base for various functional modules (such as CPU, power supply, I/O modules, communication coprocessors, etc.), a high-speed data exchange channel between modules, and stable power distribution. As a core component of the PACSystem RX3i series, the IC698RMX016 backplane ensures extremely high-speed data throughput between the controller and various intelligent modules through its internally integrated redundant PCI bus, thereby meeting the strict performance and determinism requirements of complex machine control and high-speed process applications. Its core value lies in providing a solid infrastructure for building a highly modular, scalable, and high-performance automation system.

GE IC698RMX016-ED

Structure and Composition

The GE IC698RMX016 backplane features a robust metal frame structure, with 16 standardized module slots on the front. Behind each slot is a precision high-density connector, which enables electrical connection with the inserted modules. The interior of the backplane is embedded with a multi-layer Printed Circuit Board (PCB), on which high-speed redundant PCI bus traces are integrated. This bus runs through all slots, ensuring ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth data communication between the CPU and intelligent modules such as remote I/O, motion control, and communication modules. Two dedicated power supply slots are designed at both ends of the backplane for installing power modules of models such as IC698PSD040 or IC698PSA100. These two slots provide stable, filtered DC power to the modules on all 16 slots through the internal power distribution network of the backplane. Grounding screw terminals are also equipped on both sides of the backplane, and mounting holes are designed for secure fixation on the control cabinet backplane or guide rail.

Key Features and Advantages

  • High Availability Design: The IC698RMX016 backplane supports redundant configuration of dual power modules. When the main power supply fails, the backup power supply can switch without interruption, ensuring the continuous operation of the entire control system and greatly improving system availability and reliability.
  • Excellent System Performance: Its integrated redundant PCI bus provides significantly higher data transmission bandwidth than traditional PLC backplanes, meeting the needs of high-speed data processing, real-time control, and large-scale I/O applications, and serving as the cornerstone for building high-performance PAC systems.
  • Unmatched Flexibility and Scalability: The 16 slots provide users with great flexibility in system configuration. Various types of modules can be mixed and installed, including CPU, digital and analog I/O, dedicated functional modules, and communication coprocessors, making it easy to cope with possible future system expansion and upgrades.
  • Rugged and Durable: Adopting industrial-grade design and materials, it ensures long-term stable operation in harsh industrial environments, with strong resistance to vibration and electromagnetic interference.

Application Fields

As a core architectural component of large-scale control systems, the GE IC698RMX016 backplane is widely used in scenarios with extremely high requirements for system reliability, processing capability, and scalability. In the power industry, it is used to build Auxiliary Workshop Control Systems (BOP) and Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) for power plants (such as thermal power and nuclear power plants) to ensure the reliable processing of a large number of signals. In the oil, gas, and water sectors, it supports the master station controllers of large-scale Pipeline Supervision and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, as well as the core control units of water purification plants and sewage treatment plants. In addition, in complex discrete manufacturing industries, such as automobile production lines, large-scale packaging lines, and material conveying systems, the IC698RMX016 provides the required processing performance and modular expansion capabilities for these high-speed, high-precision machine control applications, making it an ideal choice for building modern smart manufacturing infrastructure.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-Installation Preparation

Before installing the IC698RMX016 backplane, confirm that there is sufficient space in the control cabinet and ensure the installation surface is flat and sturdy. Prepare appropriate installation screws and fasteners. Operations must be performed under complete power-off conditions, and electrostatic protection measures should be prepared to prevent damage to electrostatically sensitive components. Handle with care during installation to avoid physical damage to the backplane connectors.

Maintenance Recommendations

The IC698RMX016 backplane itself does not require regular maintenance, but it should be included in the daily inspection of the entire control system to check whether its fixation is firm and whether there is dust accumulation. Keep the backplane and the surrounding environment clean, and regularly use a soft brush or hair dryer to carefully remove dust. Hot-swapping of modules is strictly prohibited, as this may cause permanent damage to the backplane connectors. If the system malfunctions, after eliminating power supply and module issues, the backplane can be considered for inspection.
