PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC695ETM001 is an Ethernet interface module for the PACSystems RX3i series. This module provides two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet communication ports with auto-negotiation capabilities. It occupies a single slot across compatible RX3i universal backplanes. The unit features an internal 200 MHz communications processor. It facilitates communication between RX3i controllers and platforms like Series 90 and VersaMax systems.
The module executes communication protocols over a four-layer TCP/IP network stack. Supported protocols include Service Request Transport Protocol, Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data. It acts as both a Modbus TCP client and a Modbus TCP server. System time can synchronize to an SNTP time server over Ethernet. Hot insertion and removal are supported when the controller operates with compatible firmware versions.
