Product Overview
The GE IC695ACC650 is a mechanical frame assembly designed by GE Fanuc (now under Emerson Automation) to bridge legacy and modern industrial control systems. This conversion rack enables seamless migration from GE Series 90-70 PLCs to the advanced PACSystems RX3i platform, preserving existing hardware investments while upgrading control capabilities. Its robust steel structure supports hybrid configurations, allowing simultaneous integration of legacy 90-30/90-70 modules (e.g., IC693/IC694 series) and modern RX3i PCI modules in a unified chassis. The GE IC695ACC650 features isolated terminal blocks and integrated grounding bars to minimize electrical noise in high-interference environments like substations or manufacturing floors. Optimized for vertical or horizontal mounting in NEMA Type 1 enclosures, it reduces cabinet space by 30% compared to dual-rack solutions, making it ideal for brownfield modernization in energy, water treatment, and discrete manufacturing sectors.

Key Features and Advantages
Legacy-to-Modern Conversion: Uniquely integrates Series 90-70 modules with RX3i controllers (e.g., IC695CPU320) in a single rack, eliminating costly full-system replacements. This hybrid design cuts migration costs by 40% for facilities like power substations or chemical plants.
Enhanced Mechanical Durability: Reinforced PCI connectors and steel-frame construction withstand 5G vibration loads, critical for heavy machinery environments. Horizontal-mount orientation optimizes thermal dissipation in confined spaces, preventing overheating during continuous operations.
Simplified Maintenance: Tool-less module installation and front-accessible terminal blocks reduce wiring time by 50%. Integrated LED indicators for slot status enable rapid fault diagnosis, minimizing downtime in 24/7 production lines.
Application Areas
- Energy Infrastructure: Upgrades grid protection systems by combining legacy IC693 analog input modules with RX3i safety controllers in substations, leveraging surge immunity (4kV ANSI C37.90) for high-noise environments.
- Water Treatment Plants: Integrates 90-70 I/O for pump control with RX3i PACs in remote SCADA stations, utilizing corrosion-resistant terminals for humid environments.
- Automotive Manufacturing: Enables phased robotics line upgrades—Slot 6 hosts high-speed IC695RMX128 motion controllers while Slots 1–5 interface legacy sensors.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Prep: Mount horizontally on DIN rails using M4 screws. Verify chassis ground resistance <1Ω and backplane voltage stability (24VDC ±10%) before powering. Ensure 4-inch clearance for airflow.
Maintenance: Clean air vents quarterly in dusty environments. Inspect PCI connectors annually; replace if insertion force exceeds 30N. Use Emerson’s Diagnostic Assistant to monitor slot temperatures.
Product Assurance
Although discontinued by GE, the IC695ACC650 includes a 12-month third-party warranty via certified suppliers (e.g., Radwell). Emerson provides lifetime technical support for firmware migration tools and legacy integration guides. Critical failure replacements ship within 72 hours globally.
