Application & Technical Notes
As an automation component, the IC697CHS783 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC697CHS783, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Technical specifications for IC697CHS783 Brand GE Fanuc Series Series 90-70 Manufacturer Emerson Automation Part Number IC697CHS783 Series Series 90-70 Description VME Integrator rack Part Number IC697CHS783 Current 3.3 Amperes Product Description VME Integrator rack Dimension 11.15 x 19 x 7.5 inches No. of slots 17 Current 3.3 Amperes Enclosure Type 10-inch-deep Enclosure Compatible VME version VME standard C.1 Single Power Source Supported Enclosure Type 10-inch-deep Enclosure Connection to a 17-slot Backplane Supported Rack Identification Four jumpers (JP1 - JP4) behind rack power supply Vertical Mounting Supported VME/IC697 Slot Configuration: via jumper settings Horizontal Mounting Supported Vertical Mounting Supported Horizontal Mounting Supported The IC697CHS935 is a VME integrator rack from Emerson Automation. This rack is used to attach 3rd party VME modules with full compatibility to all IC697 PLC modules. With the use of this integrator rack, a Series 90-30 system’s capability can be expanded and perform extended tasks. The IC697CHS935 is a Series 90-70 backplane with 17 module slots. This backplane supports rear mounting to an enclosure with minimum depth of 10" or 254 mm. It also supports front mounting using standard 19" rack for a easier access. This rack can be supplied with power by locally installing an AC / DC or dedicated DC power supply from the IC697 series. Additionally, an external power supply may also be used however, an adaptor module must be provided. The IC697CHS935 supports installation of up to 17 VME modules or 9 IC697 modules or a combination of these supported modules. This rack is provided with a variety of terminal that are intended to be shorted or applied with a jumper to determine the parameters of the rack. These parameters are Rack ID Select with corresponding jumpers JP1 to JP4; SYSFAIL; LWORD assigned to JP44; IRQ1/ to IRQ4/ (Interrupt lines) and Bus Grant 0 - 3/ and IACK/. The IC697CHS935 supports VME standard C.1. Fan assembly may be installed to this rack for if the rack will host high-power modules. These fan assemblies are Rack Fan Assembly 120 VAC with catalog number IC697ACC721; Rack Fan Assembly, 240 VAC with catalog number IC697ACC724 and 24 VDC Rack fan assembly with ordering information IC697ACC744.
The IC697CHS783 rack is a GE Fanuc VME integrator rack. The rack can easily support third-party VME modules that require 0.8 inches of installation spacing. The rack can take a maximum of 5 Volts of power. The maximum current that the users can supply to the rack is 3.3 Amps. The rack can accommodate all GE IC 697 PLC modules. On the front side, it can easily connect to a 19-inch rack, and at the rear, it can be installed in a 10-inch-deep enclosure. The integrator rack can accommodate a power supply from a single power unit. The IC697CHS783 rack is equipped with a 17-slot backplane that can provide easy integration with other VME modules. During the mounting of the rack, enough clearance should be left around it for airflow. The rack has dimensions of 11.15 inches in height, 19 inches in width, and 7.5 inches in depth. The IC697CHS783 rack can be configured by using a series of jumpers that are located on the backplane near each slot. This helps in flexibility during the installation. The IC697 system allows for the user configuration of the I/O point references for the modules. The rack offers module retention. It comes with molded latches that snap onto the upper and lower rails of the rack. The IC697CHS783 rack supports an optional rack fan assembly. The fans in the integrator rack produce low noise and they are assembled by using ball bearings for extended operating life. Each rack configuration accommodates a single power supply unit in the leftmost position. The rack can be mounted both vertically and horizontally, depending upon the application needs.
