Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC693CHS393 is a 10-slot remote baseplate. This component designed for the GE Series 90-30 PLC system. When operating any applications, users should be aware of a few things regarding this unit. Firstly, in any system that uses remote baseplates, the total amount of cable connecting all the baseplates must be less than 700 feet. Also, a remote baseplate cannot be a stand-alone unit. Instead, it must be connected to a system that has a CPU. This CPU may be in a programmable logic controller (PLC) or else in a PC. However, the PC must be equipped with a Personal Computer Interface Card.
The remote baseplate has built-in isolation. This is between the +5 volt logic supply used by the I/O modules that reside in the Remote baseplate and the supply for the interface circuit, which is associated with the I/O Bus Expansion Interface. Unbalanced ground conditions can lead to problems, so it is important to have isolation to counter these issues. The type of CPU in a system will determine the number of remote baseplates that can be used. The maximum is 4 for CPUs 331, 340, and 341. For all CPUs numbered 350 and higher, the maximum number that can be used is 7.
There are a few intelligent option modules that are not supported by a remote backplane - PCM, CMM, ADC and BEM330. To use these modules, the user must mount them in a CPU baseplate. All other I/O modules and option modules can be mounted in any type of baseplate. Similar to the Expansion baseplates, remote baseplates use the same type of power supplies and support the same I/O modules and option modules. They are also the same physical size. At the right end of every remote baseplate there is a 25-pin female D-type Expansion connector. This is for connection to other baseplates. Each Remote baseplate also has a Rack Number Selection DIP switch.

Technical Information
Remote Baseplates
• There can be no more than 700 feet of cable connecting all baseplates in a system that uses Remote baseplates.
• A Remote baseplate cannot stand alone. It must be connected to a system that has a CPU. The CPU can be in a PLC or in a Personal Computer that is equipped with a Personal Computer Interface Card (see Chapter 11).
• Remote capability is facilitated by the Remote baseplate’s built-in isolation between the +5 volt logic supply used by the I/O modules residing in the Remote baseplate and the supply for the interface circuit associated with the I/O Bus Expansion Interface. Isolation helps prevent problems associated with unbalanced ground conditions.
• Maximum number of Remote baseplates allowed per system depends on the type of CPU they are used with. For CPUs 331, 340, and 341, the maximum is 4. For CPUs numbered 350 and higher, the maximum is 7.
• Each remote baseplate has a 25-pin female D-type Expansion connector mounted at its right end for connection to other baseplates.
• Remote baseplates are available in two sizes; 5-slot (IC693CHS399) and 10-slot (IC693CHS393)
• A Remote backplane does not support the following intelligent option modules:
PCM, ADC, BEM330, and CMM. These modules must be mounted in a CPU baseplate. All other I/O and option modules can be mounted in any type of baseplate.
• Remote baseplates are the same physical size, use the same type power supplies, and support the same I/O and option modules as the Expansion baseplates.
• Each Remote baseplate has a Rack Number Selection DIP switch.

Customer Questions and Answers
- Question: What is an IC693CHS393? Answer: The IC693CHS393 is a 10-Slot Remote Baseplate.
- Question: How many feet of cable can there be between any baseplate that uses Remote baseplates? Answer: There can be NO MORE than 700 feet of cable connecting all baseplates in a system that uses Remote baseplates.
- Question: Can IC693CHS393 stand alone? Answer: No, it cannot. It must be connected to a system that has a CPU. The CPU can be in a PLC or in a Personal Computer that is equipped with a Personal Computer Interface Card.
- Question: By what is remote capability facilitated? Answer: Remote capability is facilitated by the Remote baseplate's built-in isolation between the +5 volt logic supply (used by the I/O modules residing in the Remote baseplate) and the supply for the interface circuit (associated with the I/O Bus Expansion Interface). Isolation helps prevent problems associated with unbalanced ground conditions.
- Question: What is the maximum number of Remote baseplates allowed per system? Answer: It depends on with what type of CPU they are used. For CPUs 331, 340, and 341, the maximum is 4. For CPUs 350 or higher, the maximum is 7.
