Electrical Requirements
- Power Source: Powered entirely from the host CPU via the CIC interface
- No external power supply required
- Backplane Current Draw: Minimal; powered through CPU backplane connection
Functional Features
Communication and Networking
- Enables the RX3i CPU to act as a Modbus TCP server or client for integration with HMIs, drives, and other controllers
- Supports Ethernet Global Data (EGD) for high-speed, peer-to-peer data sharing between multiple RX3i controllers
- Facilitates remote monitoring, programming, and diagnostics over Ethernet
- Allows data exchange with SCADA systems using standard TCP/IP and UDP protocols
- SNMP support enables network monitoring and management
Integration and Compatibility
- Fully compatible with all PACSystems RX3i CPUs that support CIC modules
- Works seamlessly with Proficy Machine Edition software for configuration and diagnostics
- Integrates with existing Ethernet-based control networks without requiring additional switches or gateways
- Supports connection to operator workstations, historians, and MES systems
Configuration and Diagnostics
- Configured using Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer software
- Front-panel LED indicators for link status, data transmission, and error conditions
- Auto-negotiation for duplex and speed settings
- Supports firmware updates via software tools
Security and Performance
- No built-in firewall or advanced security features; relies on network-level security
- Deterministic communication for time-critical control applications
- Low-latency data transfer ensures real-time responsiveness
Applications
The IC695ETM001 is deployed in industrial automation systems requiring reliable Ethernet communication and data integration, including:
- Factory-wide control networks linking multiple PLCs and HMIs
- Remote monitoring and diagnostics of RX3i-based machines
- Integration of PLC data into SCADA and supervisory systems
- Data logging and reporting to central servers or cloud platforms
- Production lines requiring inter-controller communication via EGD
- Systems using Modbus TCP for communication with variable frequency drives, motor starters, or third-party devices
- Legacy RX3i installations upgrading from serial to Ethernet-based networking
