The GE IC693ACC310 Filler Module is an essential accessory designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. Unlike functional I/O or CPU modules, this filler module serves a purely mechanical and protective role, occupying unused slots within a 90-30 rack or baseplate.

By filling empty slots, the IC693ACC310 helps maintain the structural integrity and airflow balance of the rack assembly. This prevents dust accumulation and potential damage to the internal backplane connectors, enhancing the overall reliability of the PLC system.

The filler module is manufactured to match the physical and dimensional standards of active modules, ensuring a seamless, flush fit that does not interfere with rack installation or wiring.

Technical Specifications

Product Applications

Although it does not perform electrical or control functions, the IC693ACC310 plays an important role in maintaining the health and stability of industrial automation systems by:

• Protecting unused backplane slots: Preventing dust, debris, and accidental contact inside the rack.

• Maintaining airflow: Ensuring proper ventilation inside the rack to avoid overheating of active modules.

• Providing mechanical support: Reducing flexing or stress on adjacent modules and backplane connectors.

• Aesthetic finishing: Giving the control rack a professional, neat appearance.

• Preventing damage during transportation: Keeping modules secure and protected when systems are moved.

This module is ideal for use in any Series 90-30 rack installation where there are spare slots, especially in manufacturing plants, utilities, and process control environments where reliability and system integrity are priorities.

Product Advantages

• Simple yet crucial: Provides vital protection without adding complexity.

• Exact physical match: Designed to fit perfectly alongside active modules for a flush rack appearance.

• Durable construction: Built to withstand industrial environments including dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.

• Maintenance-free: No electronic components mean zero maintenance requirements.
