Product Role & System Fit

In complex industrial control systems, bridging a PLC controller to various serial field devices is often essential for system interoperability. The IC695CMM002-BF fulfills this role as a dual-channel serial communications module for the GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i programmable logic controller architecture. Emphasizing flexibility and industrial robustness, this unit lets an RX3i CPU exchange data over traditional asynchronous serial interfaces — namely RS-232 and RS-485/422 — without the need for external gateways or converters.

Unlike modern Ethernet-centric modules, the IC695CMM002-BF focuses on serial communications — a ubiquitous interface in industrial automation for devices such as barcode scanners, text printers, legacy drives, motor controllers, and remote sensors. This module occupies a single slot in the RX3i backplane, communicating with the CPU over the internal bus while managing two isolated serial ports that handle all data exchange with external peripherals.

Integration is straightforward: configure protocol support and port parameters through GE’s programming software — PAC Machine Edition (or compatible environments) — and assign each channel to the appropriate hardware interface and protocol. Because both port electrical standards and communication settings are software configurable, the IC695CMM002-BF suits a wide range of applications without additional hardware modification.

In essence, this communications module becomes a bridge between PLC logic and the external data world, extending the RX3i family’s functionality to traditional serial devices and enabling seamless, deterministic exchanges across the plant network.
