Product Overview

The IC695ETM001 is a high-performance communication expansion module designed for the Emerson (formerly GE Fanuc) PACSystems RX3i controller platform. This module serves as a primary network interface, enabling the RX3i CPU to communicate over industrial Ethernet networks. Equipped with an independent 200 MHz processor, the IC695ETM001 handles complex communication tasks without taxing the main controller's CPU, ensuring high-speed data throughput and system stability.

This single-slot module features an integrated Ethernet switch with two auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps ports. These dual ports support daisy-chain network topologies, which significantly reduces the cost and complexity of wiring by allowing multiple controllers or I/O devices to be linked in a series without requiring external switches.

Advanced Communication and Diagnostics

The IC695ETM001 facilitates seamless vertical and horizontal integration across the automation pyramid. By supporting EGD, the module allows for high-efficiency "produce/consume" data exchange between PACSystems, Series 90-30, and VersaMax controllers. For HMI, SCADA, and programming software connections, the module utilizes the Service Request Transport Protocol (SRTP).

Beyond standard data exchange, the module includes a dedicated Station Manager port. This RS-232 interface provides engineers with a deep-level diagnostic toolset for system configuration, firmware updates, and troubleshooting network traffic. This dual-layered approach—combining high-speed Ethernet for production data and a stable serial line for management—ensures maximum uptime in demanding discrete and process automation environments.
