The GE Fanuc IC695ETM001-CD is an Ethernet Interface Module, a crucial communication component in the PACSystems RX3i platform (formerly GE Fanuc, now Emerson). It serves as the primary gateway for the RX3i controller to connect to a plant-wide Ethernet network, supporting high-speed communication and advanced industrial protocols.
🌐 Key Features and Functions
The IC695ETM001 module enables the RX3i PLC to communicate with other controllers, PCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems using industry-standard TCP/IP communications.
- Dual Ethernet Ports and Embedded Switch: The module includes two auto-sensing $10/\text{100 Mbps}$ RJ-45 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet ports. Crucially, it features an embedded network switch, allowing for the daisy-chaining of nodes (connecting one device directly to the next) without the need for an external switch.
- Protocol Support: It supports a wide range of industrial protocols over the TCP/IP stack:
- Ethernet Global Data (EGD): Used for periodic, high-speed, peer-to-peer data exchange between multiple GE Fanuc (Emerson) controllers (RX3i, Series 90, VersaMax).
- Service Request Transport Protocol (SRTP): Used for client/server communications, typically for programming, configuration, and diagnostics.
- Modbus TCP: Allows the RX3i to act as both a Modbus TCP Server (responding to requests from other devices) and a Modbus TCP Client (initiating requests to other devices).
- Station Manager Port (RS-232): Includes a dedicated 9-pin female D-connector for the Station Manager, providing on-line supervisory access for diagnostics and configuration.
- Hot-Swappable: The module supports “hot swap,” meaning it can be inserted or removed from the backplane while power is applied to the rack, reducing downtime for maintenance.
- Redundant IP Addressing: Supports a configurable stand-alone Redundant IP address, a valuable feature for high-availability systems where two controllers can share a single IP address for bumpless switchover under application logic control.

🏭 Typical Applications
The IC695ETM001 is a workhorse in industrial automation, enabling various mission-critical communications:
- Controller-to-Controller Data Exchange (EGD): High-speed, periodic data sharing between multiple RX3i, Series 90, or VersaMax PLCs, essential for synchronized control across different process areas (e.g., in a packaging line or a modular skid system).
- HMI/SCADA Communication (SRTP/Modbus TCP): Provides the link for operator interfaces (HMIs) and supervisory systems (SCADA) to read and write data to the RX3i controller.
- Programming and Diagnostics: Allows engineers to connect to the PLC over the network for programming, configuration, forcing variables, and performing advanced diagnostics using Proficy Machine Edition.
- System Integration: Enables the RX3i to interface with third-party devices and legacy systems that utilize the common Modbus TCP protocol.
- Time Synchronization: Can synchronize the RX3i controller’s time to an SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) Time Server on the network, which is critical for accurate event logging and sequence of events (SOE) data.
