Product Role & System Fit

At the heart of industrial communication for GE PLC systems, the IC695NIU001-DM plays a pivotal role in connecting programmable logic controllers to both Ethernet and serial networks. This module acts as a bridge between rack-level I/O devices and higher-level control systems, enabling distributed automation architectures where multiple processors, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and supervisory systems exchange data rapidly and reliably. As part of the GE Fanuc (now GE Automation) portfolio, the IC695NIU001-DM is particularly aligned with PACSystems RX3i platforms and legacy Series 90-30 I/O environments, making it a versatile choice for facilities modernizing older installations while preserving existing infrastructure.

Within a typical control cabinet, this network interface unit occupies a single module slot yet provides powerful communication capabilities. Its dual communication ports support both RS-232 and RS-485 links, giving engineers flexibility to integrate a variety of serial devices alongside Ethernet-based networks. The IC695NIU001-DM sits alongside CPUs, I/O modules, and specialty cards within an IC695 rack, creating a coherent network infrastructure that facilitates real-time data exchange, remote I/O operation, and cross-controller coordination.
