• Product Overview

  The IC695ETM001 is an Ethernet communication module designed for Emerson PACSystems RX3i PLC systems. Equipped with dual auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports with embedded switch, it supports daisy-chain network topology to connect HMIs, engineering workstations, SCADA servers and peer controllers.

  The module enables program downloading, real-time peer-to-peer data exchange via EGD protocol, and Modbus TCP communication with third-party field devices. The dedicated RS232 Station Manager port provides local diagnostic access. Hot-swap capability allows replacement without shutting down the PLC system, minimizing production downtime. Automation engineers and maintenance technicians widely adopt this module for new cabinet construction and spare part replacement for legacy RX3i control systems.
