SR469-CASE

Advantages and Features

1. Modular Scalability: The SR469-CASE supports up to 14 modules, allowing users to expand system capacity as needed.
2. Reliable Cooling: Built-in fan trays ensure efficient thermal management, reducing downtime in high-temperature environments.
3. Redundancy Support: Optional dual power supplies enhance system availability, with 99.99% uptime in critical applications.
4. Ease of Maintenance: Tool-less module access and front-panel diagnostics simplify repairs, cutting maintenance time by 30% compared to legacy systems.
5. Industry-Grade Durability: Compliant with IP20 standards and tested for vibration (ISO 10816) and shock (IEC 60068-2-27), ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.

Application Areas and Case Studies

• Manufacturing (assembly lines, robotics)
• Energy (power plants, renewable energy installations)
• Process control (chemical, oil, and gas)

• 20% faster data processing for real-time monitoring.
• Reduced downtime from 8 hours/year to 1 hour/year due to redundant power and modular design.
• Compliance with industry standards (IEC 61508, NEC Class 1 Div 2).

Competitive Comparison

• Superior Compatibility: Native support for GE’s extensive module ecosystem, reducing integration complexity.
• Space Efficiency: 14 slots in a 4U form factor (20% more slots than comparable 4U racks).
• Cost of Ownership: Lower maintenance costs (30% fewer replacement parts) and longer lifecycle (10+ years of support from GE).

Selection Recommendations

1. Compatibility: Ensure modules (e.g., MVME162-220) match the SR469-CASE’s slot configuration and voltage requirements.
2. Environment: For dusty or corrosive environments, pair with IP54-rated enclosures.
3. Scalability: Choose the 14-slot model for future expansion; smaller systems may opt for 8-slot alternatives.
4. Budget: Balance upfront costs with long-term reliability (e.g., redundant power supplies add 15% to cost but double system uptime).

Precautions

1. Installation:
   • Follow ESD (electrostatic discharge) protocols during module insertion.
   • Torque screws to 0.5–0.8 N·m to avoid chassis deformation.
2. Maintenance:
   • Clean fan filters quarterly to maintain airflow.
   • Replace power supplies every 5 years (recommended by GE).
3. Safety:
   • Disconnect power before servicing.
   • Ensure grounding complies with NEC/EN 60204-1 standards.
