Backplane Bus Communication and Firmware Synchronization
The module interfaces directly with the PACSystems RX3i universal backplane bus, driving high-speed data transmission to remote expansion baseplates with minimal propagation latency. Integrated firmware flash routines handle link status verification and maintain deterministic data exchange across the expansion bus. When configured with dual fiber optic paths, internal logic executes automatic switchover between primary and secondary communication channels upon signal loss, preserving full CPU backplane synchronization without dropping frame cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC695LRE001C module support hot-swapping during active backplane operation?
A: No, the module does not support hot-swapping. Operators must completely de-energize the RX3i rack power supply before inserting or removing the hardware from the backplane slot.
Q: What physical cabling components are required for long-distance fiber optic redundancy setups?
A: The dual fiber ports require multimode fiber cables with 62.5/125 um core specifications terminated with standard ST-style connectors, supporting point-to-point runs up to 2 km.
Q: How does the hardware indicate channel communication and switchover faults?
A: On-board diagnostic LED indicators located on the front panel provide real-time visual feedback for bus link status, port activity, and active redundancy path status.
Field Installation Guidelines
Ensure main supply power to the RX3i rack is disconnected prior to installation. Align the IC695LRE001C module circuit board with the guide rails of the designated RX3i backplane slot and push firmly until the rear connector latches into the backplane. Connect multimode ST fiber cables or shielded RS-232 expansion cables to the front panel interface ports. Maintain a minimum bend radius for all fiber optic cabling according to cable manufacturer limits to avoid signal attenuation. Ensure ground continuity by securing the rack ground strap to the main enclosure earth ground terminal.
