GE Fanuc IC695ETM001-EJ PACSystems RX3i Ethernet Module
The GE Fanuc IC695ETM001-EJ, also cataloged as the IC695ETM001 Ethernet Interface Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-speed deterministic networking and protocol handling within PACSystems RX3i rack architectures. The unit establishes real-time data communication paths connecting local processing units with human-machine interfaces, supervisory control and data acquisition hosts, and peer programmable controllers over dual local area network interfaces.

Backplane Bus Communication & Network Determinism
The IC695ETM001-EJ module draws 1.2 A directly from the +3.3 VDC backplane bus to power its internal dual-port communication engine. High-bandwidth backplane channels process deterministic Ethernet Global Data (EGD) transfers alongside concurrent Modbus TCP/IP and SRTP message frames. Field update procedures support firmware flash compatibility over the network interfaces, allowing remote updates without pulling the card from the rack. Dual independent 10/100 Mbps interfaces accommodate structured local area network topologies while maintaining 1500 V galvanic isolation between line-side copper connections and backplane processing circuits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the IC695ETM001-EJ Ethernet interface module be installed or removed while the RX3i backplane is powered?
A: No. The IC695ETM001-EJ does not support hot-swapping. You must de-energize the entire rack power supply before inserting or extracting the module to avoid hardware damage or disruption to active backplane communications.
Q: How is hardware configuration and network protocol setup applied to the module?
A: All IP addressing, EGD exchange schedules, Modbus mapping, and port parameters must be authored and downloaded using Proficy Machine Edition programming software over the backplane bus or Ethernet network connection.
Q: How does the module handle high volumes of Ethernet Global Data (EGD) without disrupting standard PLC tasks?
A: The onboard network processor independently manages up to 256 EGD exchanges (1400 bytes per exchange). However, engineering limits must be defined in Proficy Machine Edition to match network bandwidth and prevent packet drops.
Field Installation Guidelines
Perform all installation steps with the host rack de-energized. Align the IC695ETM001-EJ module card edge with the guide rails of any available universal slot on the PACSystems RX3i backplane. Press the module firmly into place until the rear backplane connector seats completely, then tighten the top retention screw to secure the module ground tab to the backplate panel chassis.
Run Category 5e or Category 6 shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet cables directly to the front-facing RJ45 ports. Route network media away from high-voltage motor power leads, variable frequency drive outputs, and inductive switching devices to prevent electromagnetic interference. Terminate all cable shields to ground ground clamps or grounded RJ45 switch ports. Verify that port link LEDs illuminate steadily after applying power to confirm link layer connectivity.
