Product Features

Seamless Integration: This will convert or act as a bridge between VME systems and PCI systems enhancing the interoperability between legacy VME hardware and latest PCI based systems.

High speed data transfer: Facilitates high-speed data transfer rates, enabling efficient communications between systems

Plug and Play Installation: PCI compliant design allows for easy installation and configuration in PCI-based systems.

Compact Design: Typical PCI slots are suitable for its compact form bridge.

Modular Expansion: The GE IC697CHS782 is a 17 slot integrator rack. There's enough space to add all sorts of modules, CPUs, different I/O and devices. It supports a transparent growth of a VME - based system.

Supported VME Modules: Third party VME modules supported. This compatibility mechanism provides users with a wider selection of components. GE IC697CHS782 also facilitates the integration of legacy systems or third-party components into a single control system.

Backplane Connection: Backplane connectors are fitted at 0.8 – inch centers. For the modules to be inserted and connected easily, this spacing must be standardized. This allows the module system to quickly transfer information between modules and the system as a whole for stable and reliable performance.

Installation

Power Down: Before installation, it is essential to power down the system.

Insert Adapter: Carefully insert the GE IC697CHS782 adapter into the PCI slot, ensuring it is properly aligned and securely seated.

Configure Settings: If necessary, configure the appropriate settings for the adapter in your system BIOS or operating environment.

Connect VME System: Connect VME System to Adapter Using the appropriate cables and connectors, connect the VME system to the adapter.

Power Up: When the system is powered up, system drivers should be installed, allowing the VME and PCI systems to communicate.

Configure adapter: Use software or operating system utilities to configure the adapter settings for proper operation.

Application range

Industrial Control Systems: The GE IC697CHS782 is used to construct complex control systems in manufacturing plants.

Machine automation: In machine intensive industries such as metalworking or woodworking, this rack can be used to operate a machine automatically.

Process control: In fields like chemical and petrochemical, where controlling processes is of utmost importance, the GE IC697CHS782 serves a critical purpose. For reactors, pipelines, and storage tanks, it can monitor and control variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow rates. Its reliable operation across a broad temperature and humidity range makes it ideal for the challenging environments common in these industries.

Troubleshooting

Module Connection Issues: If a module does not respond or does not indicate connectivity to the system, position it first. Make sure the module is seated correctly in the slot and there are no bent pins. Try carefully removing and re - inserting the module. If that does not resolve the issue, inspect the backplane connector to ensure it is not damaged or dirty. If required, clean the connector with an appropriate cleaning solution and a soft bristle brush.

Power Related Issues: If rack is not powering on or if there are intermittent power related issues, check rack power supply first. If it is a plug in power supply, ensure that it is suitably plugged in and working. Inspect the power cords for damage. For the external power supply, ensure that the power supply adaptor module is correctly fitted and configured. Test our voltages and the rack is happy with it.

Compatibility Issues: When using third - party VME modules and compatibility issues have been encountered, refer to the third - party VME modules integration user 's guide first. Verify that the module name is correct and that it is properly configured, along with any necessary options or settings. Fixing compatibility issues sometimes requires a firmware update of the modules or of the rack itself. If the manufacturer provides instructions, try updating the firmware.
