Product Overview
The GE IC695ACC652 is a 5-slot conversion rack designed for seamless migration of legacy Series 90-70 I/O systems to the GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i platform 4. Serving as a critical component in industrial automation upgrades, this rack enables direct compatibility with existing Series 90-70 terminal blocks while supporting the advanced PCI bus architecture of RX3i systems. With a compact form factor (13.5 cm x 13.5 cm x 3.5 cm) and rugged design, the IC695ACC652 ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, including Class I Division 2 hazardous locations 8.
Key features include modular expansion capability for up to 5 I/O adapter modules (e.g., IC695ACC651), allowing flexible configuration for small to medium-scale migrations. The rack supports voltages up to 240V and currents up to 8A, making it suitable for demanding applications in oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing . Compliance with UL 508 and CE Mark certifications (inferred from GE’s industrial product standards) ensures safety and global applicability .

Key Features and Advantages
Legacy System Integration: The IC695ACC652 eliminates the need for costly rewiring by directly connecting Series 90-70 I/O terminal blocks to RX3i PCI modules. This reduces migration time by up to 40% compared to traditional rip-and-replace methods . Its dual-bus architecture ensures seamless data transfer between legacy serial protocols and modern PCI-based control systems, supporting real-time diagnostics and remote monitoring.
Scalable Configuration: By accommodating up to 5 IC695ACC651 I/O adapter modules, the rack enables hybrid deployments of legacy and modern I/O devices. This scalability makes it ideal for phased migrations, where new RX3i modules can be added incrementally while maintaining existing infrastructure .
Hot-Swap Maintenance: Modules can be replaced while the system remains operational, critical for continuous-process industries like pharmaceuticals and food & beverage. The rack’s LED indicators (PWR, STAT, COM) provide real-time status monitoring of power, module health, and communication integrity .
Robust Environmental Design: Built to withstand extreme temperatures (-25°C to 60°C) and harsh conditions (dust, moisture), the IC695ACC652 excels in offshore rigs, mining sites, and outdoor manufacturing environments. Its IP54-rated enclosure (when installed in compatible housing) ensures reliable performance in high-vibration or electrically noisy settings .
Applications
The GE IC695ACC652 is essential for industrial automation scenarios requiring backward compatibility with advanced control capabilities:
- Oil & Gas: Enables cost-effective upgrades of offshore platform control systems by reusing existing Series 90-70 field wiring while integrating with RX3i-based SCADA systems for real-time production optimization .
- Power Generation: Supports turbine control retrofits by connecting legacy I/O modules to modern PACSystems RX3i controllers, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing maintenance costs .
- Manufacturing: Facilitates phased migrations of assembly line control systems, allowing parallel operation of old and new modules during transition periods without disrupting production .
- Water Treatment: Ensures uninterrupted operation of pump and valve control systems during upgrades by bridging Series 90-70 I/O with RX3i-based process automation platforms .

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
- Power down the system and disconnect the target RX3i backplane.
- Align the IC695ACC652 with the mounting rail, ensuring the snap-in latches engage fully.
- Secure the rack with M2.5 screws and connect the Series 90-70 terminal block using the included jackscrew mechanism .
- Power up the system and verify STAT LED status (solid green = normal operation).
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Conduct quarterly inspections to clean dust from vents and check for loose connections. Replace the rack if the STAT LED blinks red (internal fault) or amber (component nearing end-of-life).
- Update firmware annually using GE’s Proficy software to address security vulnerabilities and improve protocol compatibility.
- Store spare racks in an anti-static bag at temperatures between -20°C and 70°C to extend capacitor lifespan .
