Description
The General Electric IC693CHS392C is a 10-slot expansion baseplate designed for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. This unit provides additional I/O capacity for industrial control systems, allowing for the integration of up to ten I/O or option modules. It features a dedicated slot for a power supply module and utilizes a 25-pin D-shell female connector for expansion communication.
Features
- 10-slot capacity for versatile I/O and option module configuration.
- Dedicated slot for system power supply.
- Compatible with Series 90-30 PLC architecture.
- Robust panel-mounting design for secure installation.
- Internal power consumption of 150 mA at 5 VDC.
Applications
This expansion base is typically utilized in GE Series 90-30 PLC systems where additional I/O density is required beyond the capacity of the main CPU rack. It is suitable for distributed control applications, machine automation, and process monitoring systems.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the installation environment is restricted to indoor use only, away from excessive moisture, dust, or corrosive gases.
- Mount the baseplate securely to a flat, vibration-resistant panel surface.
- Always disconnect all power sources before installing or removing modules from the baseplate to prevent electrical damage.
- Ensure proper grounding of the baseplate chassis to the system common ground to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Verify that the 25-pin expansion cable is firmly seated and secured to ensure reliable communication between the CPU rack and the expansion base.
- Maintain adequate clearance around the unit to allow for proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
FAQ
Can this baseplate hold a CPU module?
No, the IC693CHS392C is an expansion baseplate and does not support CPU modules. It is designed specifically for I/O and option modules.
What is the primary function of the 25-pin connector?
The 25-pin D-shell female connector is used to link the expansion base to the main CPU rack or another expansion base in the system chain.
