Product Role & System Fit
The IC695PNC001 is engineered as a PROFINET controller interface for PACSystems RX3i PLC systems. Its primary role is to enable an RX3i CPU to participate on a PROFINET network as an I/O controller — effectively acting as the communication manager that exchanges data between the PLC logic and connected PROFINET devices.
Mechanically, the module occupies a single slot in a standard RX3i backplane. Electrically and logically, it communicates with the CPU over the backplane bus and exposes network configuration parameters within PACSystems configuration tools such as Proficy Machine Edition. PROFINET support includes Version 2.2 General Class A features, enabling basic PROFINET I/O controller services consistent with industrial requirements.
The module supports multiple network topologies — including star, ring, and line — providing design flexibility in industrial layouts. It can interface with up to 64 PROFINET I/O devices per controller and, depending on system design, a broader set of nodes across connected networks. These capabilities help system designers scale communications in distributed automation architectures without adding separate gateways or protocol bridges.
The hardware interface includes dual RJ-45 Ethernet ports for standard copper connectivity and SFP cages that accept optional fiber or extended distance modules. This allows integration with both plant floor networks and backbone infrastructure, accommodating copper and fiber links when needed. A micro USB port is included for local diagnostics and configuration via command-line interface, supporting commissioning and troubleshooting without entering deeper system layers.
Overall, the IC695PNC001 fills a critical network role within PACSystems RX3i installations, expanding their data communication reach while preserving standard PLC access to real-time process data.
