Product Role & System Fit
In modern industrial control environments, Ethernet is the backbone of data exchange, supervisory control, and remote monitoring. The IC698ETM001-DH Ethernet interface module from GE Fanuc (now part of Emerson Automation Solutions) enhances the networking capabilities of PACSystems RX7i controllers by providing a dedicated rack-mounted Ethernet communications interface. Placed in an RX7i backplane slot, this interface module converts the PLC rack into a network node capable of high-speed TCP/IP communication with other controllers, HMIs, SCADA systems, and enterprise applications.
Unlike embedded Ethernet ports on some CPUs, the IC698ETM001-DH gives designers flexibility to add multiple network interfaces per rack, enabling more complex topologies such as daisy-chained networks or redundant host connections. Its compatibility with standard Ethernet infrastructure lets facilities leverage existing CAT5/CAT6 cabling and switches without bespoke hardware or converters.
In typical automation systems, this module sits alongside CPUs, power supplies, and I/O cards within a VME64 backplane rack. It becomes the central link between field-level control operations and the broader plant network — aggregating cyclic data exchanges, transporting configuration updates, and enabling remote diagnostics. This networking layer supports both local operations and enterprise-level integration, making it a core communication device in distributed control architectures.
