Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC693CHS397 is a 5-slot modular CPU baseplate.
To operate the baseplate, users must plug a power supply module
into the left slot.
This slot is unique in size and type, in that in only supports a
power supply module.
This slot is not numbered. In slot 1, a CPU or special option
module must be installed. Similar to slot 2, this slot is unique in
size and type,
in that it can only support a CPU module or else a special option
module, for example a FIP Remote I/O Scanner (IC693BEM330). Slot 1
is labeled CPU/1.
For all slots numbered 2 and above, users can install option
modules or I/O modules. These slots are of a unique size and type,
so they will support either of these. The modular CPU baseplate can
support expansion and remote baseplates. Therefore, on the right
end of the baseplate, there is a female expansion connector. This
is a 25-pin D-type, which allows users to connect to either an
Expansion or Remote baseplate.
If any additional features are desired, the user can accommodate
them. This is because the CPU is modular. This enables the user to
replace or change it to a different type. For any one system, a maximum of one CPU baseplate may be used. Any additional ones
must be an expansion or remote baseplate. By default, a modular CPU
baseplate such as the IC693CHS397 is always assigned Rack
Number 0.

Technical Information
Modular CPU Baseplates
• A Power Supply module must be plugged into the left slot (which is
not numbered) of these baseplates. The left slot is a unique size
and type that only supports a Power Supply module.
• A CPU module (or a special Option module) must be installed in Slot
1 of these baseplates. Slot 1 is a unique size and type that only
supports a CPU module or a special Option module like the FIP
Remote I/O Scanner (IC693BEM330). Slot 1 is labeled CPU/1.
• Slots numbered 2 and above are of a unique size and type that only
supports I/O or Option modules.
• Expansion and Remote baseplates are supported, so a 25-pin D-type
female expansion connector is located at the right end of the
baseplate for connecting to an Expansion or Remote baseplate.
• Since the CPU is modular, it can be replaced or changed to a
different type if additional features are desired.
• Only one CPU baseplate is allowed per system. If more than one
baseplate is used in a system, the additional ones must be either Expansion or Remote types.
• A modular CPU baseplate is always assigned, by default, Rack Number 0.
