GE IC695CHS007 – PACSystems RX3i 7-Slot Expansion Chassis

In stock

Product Introduction:

The IC695CHS007 is a 7‑slot expansion chassis for the Emerson PACSystems RX3i PLC platform, designed to extend the I/O capacity of the main CPU rack. It provides seven additional slots for RX3i I/O modules (analog, discrete, communication), enabling scalable system configuration for large automation applications. Engineered for high‑speed backplane communication and rugged reliability, it supports hot‑swappable modules and seamless integration with the main rack, delivering flexibility and expandability for complex control systems.
