4. Product Introduction

The GE Fanuc IC695ETM001-FS is an Ethernet interface module for PACSystems RX3i controllers. It occupies one slot in the main rack and connects the RX3i to Ethernet networks for programming, HMI/SCADA communication, peer-to-peer data exchange, or Modbus TCP integration in applications like discrete manufacturing, process control, or machine automation.

Its built-in switch lets you daisy-chain devices without extra hardware, and the two RJ-45 ports share one IP/MAC for simple network addressing. Teams use it to add reliable Ethernet to RX3i systems without replacing the CPU—especially where SRTP or EGD is already in play. The Station Manager port gives direct serial access for diagnostics and firmware updates.

5. Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Symptom Possible Cause Relevance to this Part Quick Check Method Recommendation
No Ethernet OK / LAN OK LEDs No backplane power or insertion fault ✅ High Measure 5 V at rack backplane; reseat module Confirm rack power; reseat if LEDs stay off
Port Link LEDs off (no activity) Cable fault, wrong cable type, or speed mismatch ✅ High Swap with known good CAT5e cable; test direct connect Use straight-through or crossover as needed; check switch side
Can’t ping module IP IP conflict, wrong subnet, or not configured ✅ High Use Station Manager serial (baud 9600 default) to show ip; ping from PC Set IP via PME or Station Manager; clear ARP cache
Intermittent drops / high latency Network noise, duplex mismatch, or cable length ✅ Medium Check LEDs for 100 Mbps full duplex; use cable tester Force 100/full if auto-neg fails; shorten cable
Station Manager port unresponsive Baud mismatch or bad cable ✅ High Connect via null-modem cable; set terminal to 9600 8N1 Match baud in tool; test with different PC
EGD/SRTP timeouts in logic Config mismatch or firewall blocking ✅ Medium Verify produced/consumed exchanges in PME; check faults Reload config; disable firewalls temporarily
Restart button doesn’t respond Firmware hang or hardware fault ✅ Low Press recessed button 5+ sec; monitor LEDs Power cycle rack; replace if persistent

RX3i Ethernet issues usually come from cabling, IP setup, or network config—not the module hardware. Pull Station Manager logs (via serial) and PME fault tables. Send screenshots of LEDs, IP settings, and ping results if you’re stuck.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What’s the -FS on IC695ETM001-FS? It’s a revision or firmware suffix (e.g., tied to FW 6.21 in some IPIs). No core spec or compatibility changes from standard IC695ETM001—same ports, protocols, and behavior. We’ve swapped FS units into live RX3i racks without reconfiguring anything.

Is the IC695ETM001-FS still made new by Emerson? No, RX3i Ethernet modules like this are mature/obsolete. We source new surplus—unused, sealed or new-old-stock from spares kits. They test identically to factory units but without active OEM support.

Can both RJ-45 ports be used simultaneously? Yes—both connect to the same network (one IP/MAC). The embedded switch handles traffic internally, so you can daisy-chain to another device or connect to separate switches for redundancy. No separate IPs per port.

How do I set the IP address? Use Proficy Machine Edition hardware config (target properties > Ethernet) or Station Manager serial commands (e.g., “set ipaddress”). Default is no IP until assigned. Always set subnet mask and gateway for routed networks.

Will swapping this module disrupt communications? Minimal downtime—hot-swap capable. Power stays on, but comms drop briefly during swap/reboot. Config (IP, protocols) stores in RX3i CPU, so it reloads automatically. Back up config first.

Why surplus pricing vs. new from Emerson? Surplus units have no field hours—no thermal wear or connector fatigue. New production stopped years ago; refurbs often come from failed installs. We test every IC695ETM001-FS: power-up, LED verification, ping both ports, Station Manager access, and firmware read.

What warranty do you offer? 1-year on functionality per specs. Covers defects, not cabling errors, ESD, or misconfig. Test data (LED photos, ping logs, Station Manager output) available on request.
