Description
In distributed control systems spanning factory floors, warehouses, and utility campuses where PACSystems RX3i PLCs must exchange real-time data with HMIs, SCADA servers, and remote controllers without network bottlenecks, the GE IC695ETM001-CC provides embedded Ethernet connectivity. It is widely used in industrial automation for automotive assembly, water treatment, and material handling applications that demand Modbus TCP, SRTP, and EGD exchanges over 10/100 Mbps links, enabling tag polling, recipe downloads, and diagnostic streaming from multiple nodes. Engineers deploy the GE IC695ETM001-CC in control systems coordinating multi-axis robots, conveyor merges, and pump sequencing, where dual RJ45 ports with embedded switching support daisy-chaining without external hubs.
This interface module commonly links RX3i CPUs to CIMPLICITY or iFIX workstations in batch plants tracking vessel pressures and agitator speeds, or in power distribution syncing breaker telemetry across substations. In food processing, it is applicable in control systems aggregating filler outputs and case packer alarms via EtherNet/IP gateways, delivering sub-10 ms latency for synchronized rejects. OEMs building skid-mounted processes favor it for direct Proficy Machine Edition uploads during commissioning, with Station Manager access troubleshooting cabling or IP conflicts on-site. For integrators modernizing legacy setups, the GE IC695ETM001-CC bridges Series 90-30 compatibility while handling 4000+ concurrent connections, thriving amid EMI from VFDs or welders through auto-sensing and LACP redundancy.
Product Introduction & Positioning
The GE IC695ETM001-CC is a single-slot Ethernet interface module for GE Emerson PACSystems RX3i, featuring a 200 MHz processor with two auto-sensing 10/100BaseTX RJ45 ports (embedded switch for daisy-chaining) and a dedicated RS-232 Station Manager port for diagnostics. It plugs into the RX3i universal backplane, supporting TCP/IP protocols including SRTP, EGD, Modbus TCP server/client, and SNMP for seamless integration with programming tools, HMIs, and third-party devices.
In network architectures, the GE IC695ETM001-CC enables periodic data exchanges, command I/O, and web server access while consuming ≤1.5 W from 5 VDC rails—no external power needed. Proficy Machine Edition (v5.0+) configures IP settings, EGD classes, and redundancy.
Integrators position the GE IC695ETM001-CC as the workhorse for mid-sized TCP/IP connectivity, offering hot-swap and firmware upgrades without rack downtime.
Key Technical Features & Functional Benefits
Dual RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation, crossover detection, and LACP support failover paths up to 200 Mbps aggregate, buffering 256 KB for real-time robotic or motion exchanges amid 4000 connections. RS-232 Station Manager (1200-115200 bps) dumps logs or resets firmware via recessed button without power cycling.
Rugged IP20 design handles -40 to 70°C extremes, vibration, and EMI with shielded connectors, drawing minimal backplane current for dense racks. LEDs indicate Ethernet OK, LAN OK, port speed/activity, and log status for instant verification.
RX3i firmware 2.51+ ensures hot-swap safety, with backward Series 90-30 compatibility and OPC UA/EtherNet/IP via updates—reducing gateways by 30% per case studies.
Reliability exceeds 300k hour MTBF in offshore or dusty enclosures, with RoHS/CE/UL certification.
