This rack has a 17-slot backplane and is designed to provide easy integration of 3rd party VME modules into an IC697 PLC system. Backplane connectors are spaced on 0.8 inch centers to accommodate 3rd party VME modules. IC697 modules each use two of these slots.Each rack configuration will accept one power supply in the leftmost module position, and either:
1. seventeen 3rd Party VME modules (with no IC697 modules installed)
2. nine IC697 modules, or
3. a combination of IC697 and 3rd Party VME modules.
The power supply capacity may limit the number of modules in a rack. No more than three VME modules can be used in a rack with IC697 modules.
The VME Integrator rack is factory configured to accept standard IC697 modules. Integration of 3rd party VME modules is done by moving these jumpers to different positions. The exact jumper configuration depends on the requirements of each 3rd Party VME module. Two racks can be interconnected to share a single power supply for applications having extended I/O requirements.
Features:
▪ Accepts 3rd Party VME modules which require 0.8” spacing.
▪ Accepts all IC697 PLC module types.
▪ Rear mount rack mounts in a 10” (254 mm) deep enclosure.
▪ Front mount rack mounts in a standard 19” (483 mm) rack.
▪ Accepts plug-in AC/DC and DC IC697 power supplies, or can use external supply (Power Supply Adaptor module required).
▪ Provision for two rack operation from single power supply.
▪ Provision for power supply for high-current configurations.
▪ Optional accessory kit available for adding J2 backplane or making ribbon cable connections to J2 backplanes.
▪ Optional fan assembly (for high-power modules)
