PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
General Electric IC695ECM850 is a PACSystems RX3i Ethernet module designed for IEC 61850 communication networks. It connects PACSystems controllers to substation automation networks. This unit allows the controller to function as an IEC 61850 client. It interfaces directly with remote IEC 61850 server devices across the system. The module features four switched Ethernet ports. Connectivity options include two RJ-45 ports and two SFP cages.
The IC695ECM850 module supports both star and linear network topologies. It accommodates copper and single-mode or multi-mode fiber connections. Transmission speeds include 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps. Each module supports one IP address and up to five MAC addresses. The hardware provides hot-swappable capability for maintenance ease. An onboard mini USB connector enables access to a command-line interface. An SD card slot provides removable storage support.
