Product Role & System Fit
The IC695NKT001 is a remote I/O expansion kit designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i programmable logic controller (PLC) family. At its core, this module assembly provides an ethernet-based link between the central controller and distributed I/O racks — a necessity in control systems where field devices are geographically dispersed or where traditional backplane cabling is impractical.
In an RX3i system, the IC695NKT001 combines two functionally linked components: the IC695NIU001 Network Interface Unit (NIU) and the IC695ETM001 Ethernet module, forming a robust communication station for remote I/O. This assembly facilitates data exchange across an Ethernet network, enabling real-time monitoring, control, and integration with supervisory systems like SCADA or MES.
Unlike typical local I/O boards that sit directly on a backplane next to the CPU, the IC695NKT001 expands control footprints by enabling hot-pluggable remote stations. These remote nodes can be placed physically closer to sensors and actuators, minimizing cabling costs and enhancing system modularity. The unit supports up to eight expansion bases through RX3i’s modular architecture, making it a scalable option for mid-size to large industrial installations.
The IC695NKT001 also plays well with multiple communication protocols. Built-in support for Ethernet Global Data (EGD) and industry-standard serial protocols such as Modbus Master/Slave and SNP means broader interoperability with third-party devices and legacy systems. Field engineers appreciate this versatility when integrating GE automation into heterogeneous plant networks.
