GE IC695PNC001 PROFINET Controller Module

This IC695PNC001 is a PACSystems RX3i communications module manufactured by Emerson Automation (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP)). This module is a PROFINET controller module used to connect the RX3i system to a PROFINET network. It supports PROFINET version 2.2 General Purpose Class A IO controllers and is compatible with the CPU315 or CPU320 with firmware version 7.0 or later. Each PROFINET controller supports up to 64 devices and up to 8 I/O controllers per network. This PROFINET controller can connect up to 2048 I/O devices or 128 per network. The module has two RJ-45 and two SFP slots and a micro USB connector.

About the IC695PNC001

The IC695PNC001 is a PROFINET controller module. Formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), the module is now manufactured by Emerson Automation. This PROFINET controller enables the RX3i CPU to send and receive data over a PROFINET network.

The IC695PNC001 is compatible with PACSystem RX320i CPU7 or CPU0 with firmware version 3.315 or higher.The module comes with two (2) RJ-45 and two (2) SFP slots with SFP connectors sold separately. Only one IP address is assigned to these PROFINET ports. Up to four (4) IC695PNC001s may be installed on a single CPU and must be located only on the host rack where the CPU is located. Up to sixty-four (64) I/O devices can be connected to one (1) controller; 128 I/O devices per network, distributed among eight (8) I/O controllers. In addition, up to eight (8) I/O devices can be installed in a single network. The module has configurable data update times of 1 ms, 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, 64 ms, 128 ms, 256 ms, and 512 ms IC695PNC001.

It occupies a single slot in the chassis and consumes 0.5 A without an SFP device installed and a maximum of 2.2 A with two (1) SFP devices installed, where the SFP device uses 0.35 A. At 5.5 VDC, the module consumes 1.5 A maximum.

In addition to the embedded dual PROFINET ports, the module is equipped with a micro USB connector for communicating with a computer using a command line interface. It must operate over a temperature range of 0-60 degrees Celsius.

The IC695PNC001 controller is a PROFINET controller manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms/GE Fanuc PACSystems and is part of the RX3i family. This PROFINET controller module helps connect the RX3i PacSystems family of controllers to a high-speed PROFINET LAN.Some of its noteworthy specifications include a single slot, universal backplane support only, and PROFINET 2.2 universal Class A network rating. It operates at 5.5 amps of internal power at 1 volt DC and 3.3 amps at a rated voltage of 0.5 volts DC.The IC695PNC001 PROFINET Controller Module operates over a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, but lower temperatures may be required depending on the location of the PNC001 and the number of SFPs. The module has a micro USB connector for communicating with a computer via a command line interface. It also has 2 SFP cages and 2 RJ-45 port connectors, but the SFP devices can be purchased separately.

Key features of the IC695PNC001 RX3i PacSystems PROFINET Controller or PNC include firmware upgrades through the use of the WinLoader software utility. The controller also features a built-in command line interface that provides partial configuration and direct monitoring using telnet or through a micro USB port. It also supports ring, star, and daisy-chain network topologies.Other features of the IC695PNC001 PNC include an internal clock that matches the RX3i CPU for time-stamped diagnostics. It also features a reboot button to manually restart the PROFINET controller without rebooting the entire system. The USB port on this PNC is designed for system setup and diagnostic purposes only.
