The GE Fanuc Emerson IC695CHS016 is a 16-slot universal backplane for RX3i PACSystems that supports hot-swapping. The IC695CHS016 is a dual-bus backplane that can support I/O series 90-30, option, high-speed, and PCI serial modules. The IC695CHS016 contains a terminal strip located on the left side to wire an isolated input voltage of 24 Volts DC. The IC695CHS016 should be installed horizontally and can be installed in a secure enclosure with an IP54 rating or higher by leaving an amount space of 10.16 centimeters (4 inches) from all orientations for heat dissipation. The IC695CHS016 offers more flexibility by supporting expansion bases such as controller and Ethernet baseplates.

The IC695CHS016 consumes a current of 240 milliamperes at a baseplate voltage of 5 Volts DC and a current of 600 milliamperes at a baseplate voltage of 3.3 Volts DC. The IC695CHS016 includes a backplane grounding point and contains an internal grounding bar to link either modules or shield grounds. The IC695CHS016 has a width of 60.2 centimeters (23.7 inches), a height of 14.14 centimeters (5.57 inches), and a depth of 14.732 centimeters (5.8 inches). The IC695CHS016 includes slot numbers which are printed and marked on the backplane to make user configuration easier. The IC695CHS016 is open equipment and has a connector for serial expansion links to serial remote and expansion backplanes. The IC695CHS016 weighs approximately 2.06 kilograms (4.54 pounds) while shipping and operates at zero (0) to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for industrial applications.

The GE Fanuc IC695CHS016 universal backplane requires a 24 volts input voltage. As far as installation is concerned, this universal backplane can be mounted on a rack. In order to support isolated inputs, this universal backplane supports terminal strip. It belongs to the RX3i PACSystems series. This industrial PLC component includes a grounding bar and a connector. The connector on this module is used for serial expansion, while the grounding bar is used as a grounding point. The backplane comes with compatibility for serial I/O components. Modules that are based on PCIs, such as the IC694 line and IC695 components, are compatible with this universal backplane. When installing the IC695CHS016 universal backplane, make sure that a space of 102 mm (4 in) is left on all sides of the module to allow for proper ventilation and cooling. This universal backplane is meant to be mounted horizontally. The internal power rating for the module is 240 mA at 5 VDC and 600 mA at 3.3 VDC. The IC695CHS016 requires a protective rating of IP20 up to IP54. When installed correctly, this module is highly reliable. It works smoothly with CPUs, power supply modules, and serial expansion modules. The shipping dimensions on the GE Fanuc IC695CHS016 universal backplane is 141.4 x 602 x 147.3 millimeters (5.5 x 23.7 x 5.8 inches). This module conducts communication over the backplane's PCI bus. The IC695CHS016 is also equipped with an integral grounding bar that can be used for the purpose of connecting shield, or module, grounds.
