GE IC695CHS016LT Universal Backplane – PACSystems RX3i 16-Slot Rack
When a PACSystems RX3i backplane fails or is unavailable, the entire control system comes to a halt. Every I/O module, every CPU, every communication card loses its physical and electrical foundation. Production lines stop, process variables go unmonitored, and the cost of downtime escalates by the minute. The GE IC695CHS016LT Universal Backplane is the structural and electrical backbone that keeps your RX3i system running — without it, there is no system.
The IC695CHS016LT is GE’s 16-slot universal backplane within the IC695 series, designed for the PACSystems RX3i platform — one of the most widely deployed mid-to-large-scale PLC architectures in global process and discrete manufacturing. Its “universal” designation means it accepts both legacy Series 90-30 I/O modules and native RX3i modules in the same rack, making it the preferred choice for system expansions and brownfield upgrades across industries worldwide.
