Technical Features & Benefits
At the core of many modern PACSystems RX3i installations is the need for flexible, reliable Ethernet networking. The GE IC695ETM001-EP Ethernet interface module meets this requirement with a robust blend of real-time communication capabilities and industrial ruggedness. Designed explicitly for the PACSystems RX3i platform, this module serves as the bridge between automation controllers and high-speed Ethernet networks used for system intercommunication, supervisory access, and data exchange.
The dual RJ-45 ports on the GE IC695ETM001-EP offer auto-sensing 10Base-T/100Base-TX connectivity, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of existing network infrastructures. Auto-negotiation combined with embedded switching allows installers to simplify network topologies without external switches for certain configurations. Real-time industrial networks often demand seamless data flow for multiple protocols — and this Ethernet transmitter supports that by facilitating TCP/IP communications via Service Request Transport Protocol (SRTP), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD). These protocol stacks enable everything from straightforward machine-to-machine data sharing to structured periodic data exchanges that underpin modern distributed automation systems.
Field engineers repeatedly emphasize how hot-swappable capability reduces downtime during maintenance windows. When paired with the correct firmware revision (noted in the GE manual as version 2.51 or later for hot-swap operation), technicians can remove and replace the GE IC695ETM001-EP module while the PACSystems rack remains powered and in Run mode — a significant advantage in 24/7 production environments where shutting down for hardware swaps isn’t acceptable.
Diagnostic visibility is another benefit that seasoned automation professionals appreciate. LED indicators show Ethernet status, LAN connectivity, log activity, and port speed, assisting in rapid fault isolation during commissioning and regular operation. Moreover, the built-in station manager accessible via both Ethernet and RS-232 serial connection lets engineers monitor module behavior, control polling, and review logs without disturbing the core control logic.
One subtle but valuable capability is redundant IP addressing at the module level. While most RCA controllers handle a single IP address, this module can be configured to manage redundant addressing in multi-controller setups. This feature enhances network availability, especially in control rooms or substations where communication persistence is essential for failover operations.
In short, the GE IC695ETM001-EP offers a rich feature set that bridges field-level control systems with enterprise or plant-wide networks, enabling modern automation architectures that rely on robust, real-time Ethernet communication.
