GE-FanucSeries Six Plus 11-Slot CPU Rack with Integral 115/230 VAC Power Supply, 19-Inch or Panel Mount, Max 7 I/O Slots

Product Description

What this part is

This is a GE Fanuc Series Six Plus CPU rack, catalogue number IC600CP620 — the 11-slot chassis that carries the processor end of a Series Six Plus programmable controller. It combines the rack, the backplane and an integral wide-range AC power supply in one assembly, and it is the item the rest of the control plugs into.

IC600CP620 is the CPU rack, not a single plug-in processor card. A dead processor board calls for an IC600CB or IC600LX-series module. This is the piece for a failed rack, a dead rack power supply, or a control built up from parts, and it brings the power supply with it.

Decoding the catalogue number

IC600 — the GE Fanuc Series Six family prefix.

CP — CPU rack / central processor chassis class, as distinct from CHS (I/O chassis), BF (plug-in functional and I/O boards), CB and LX (processor and memory boards) and RP (remote processors).

620 — the specific rack: 11 slots, 115–230 VAC integral supply.

L — hardware revision letter. Later letters supersede earlier ones within the 620 designation.

/500 — a build / configuration designation stamped on the unit alongside the catalogue number.

Published specifications

Format: 19-inch rack; also panel mountable.

Slots: 11 total, of which a maximum of 7 are usable for I/O modules.

Integral power supply: 115 to 230 VAC, line frequency 47 to 63 Hz.

Dimensions, panel-mount version: 508 x 340 x 236 mm.

Dimensions, rack-mount version: 483 x 340 x 236 mm.

Weight, all 11 slots populated: approximately 37 lb (17 kg).

Operating temperature: 0 to 60 °C (32 to 140 °F).

Storage and transport temperature: −20 to 70 °C (−4 to 158 °F).

Humidity: 5 to 95 % relative, non-condensing.

What these specs mean in practice

Eleven slots is not eleven slots of I/O. Four of them are committed to the processor and system boards, which is why the published figure is a maximum of seven for I/O modules. Plan the module schedule on seven, not eleven.

The 115–230 VAC, 47–63 Hz supply means the rack will take North American 120 V or European/industrial 230 V without a change of hardware, and it tolerates 50 and 60 Hz plants alike — useful on machinery that has moved country.

Series Six modules are slot-position sensitive and the rack’s card schedule matters; the integral supply also has a finite 5 V rail, so a rack filled with high-density I/O and intelligent modules needs its module current draws added up.

Quantity and configuration

One rack assembly ships. No processor or memory boards, no I/O modules, no battery, no field terminal blocks or wiring arms, no expansion or remote I/O chassis, no programming cable or software, and no manual are included unless visible in the photographs. A used CPU rack sometimes arrives with boards still fitted and sometimes bare, so the photographs are the definitive statement of what is populated.

Interchange guidance

Searched as IC600CP620L, IC600CP620, IC600CP620L/500, IC600CP620L500, IC600-CP620, IC600 CP620 L and Series Six Plus CPU rack 11 slot. Other revision letters of the same rack are the closest cross-references — the revision letter is the only difference within the 620 designation. Related Series Six part blocks worth knowing so you can rule them in or out: IC600CHS I/O chassis, IC600BF plug-in I/O and functional boards, IC600CB and IC600LX processor and memory boards (for example IC600LX612), and IC600RP remote processors such as IC600RP551. Brand and support history for search reach: GE Series Six, GE Fanuc Automation, GE Intelligent Platforms, now Emerson; the platform is long obsolete with no factory replacement, and Emerson’s migration path is PACSystems RX3i, which is a full control rebuild rather than a rack swap.
