GE PACSystems* RX3i IC695ETM001-HT Ethernet Interface Module

GE PACSystems* RX3i IC695ETM001-HT Ethernet Interface Module

DESCRIPTION

The Ethernet Interface Module, IC695ETM001, connects a PACSystems RX3i controller to an Ethernet network. It enables the RX3i controller to communicate with other PACSystems equipment and with Series 90 and VersaMax controllers. The Ethernet Interface provides Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communications with other control systems, host computers running the Host Communications Toolkit or programmer software, and computers running the TCP/IP version of the programming software. These communications use the Service Request Transport Protocol (SRTP), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocols over a four-layer TCP/IP (Internet) stack.

Features of the RX3i Ethernet Interface include:

▪ Full programming and configuration services. Firmware upgrades from the RX3i CPU using the WinLoader software utility, which is supplied with updates to the Ethernet Interface software. 

▪ Periodic data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD). 

▪ EGD Commands to read and write controller and EGD exchange memory over the network. 

▪ TCP/IP communication services using SRTP. 

▪ Support for SRTP Channels, Modbus/TCP Server, and Modbus/TCP Client 

▪ Built-in Station Manager for on-line supervisory access to the Ethernet Interface. Dedicated Station Manager port. 

▪ Two auto-sensing 10Base T / 100Base TX RJ-45 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet ports for direct connection to either a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX IEEE 802.3 network without an external transceiver. There is only one interface to the network (only one Ethernet MAC address and only one IP address). 

▪ Internal network switch with Auto negotiate, Sense, Speed, and crossover detection. 

▪ Recessed Ethernet Restart pushbutton permits manually restarting the Ethernet firmware without power cycling the system. 

▪ LEDs: Ethernet OK, LAN OK, Log Empty, individual port activity and speed LEDs. 

▪ Configurable stand-alone Redundant IP addressing, which allows a single IP address to be assigned to corresponding Ethernet modules in two different controllers. The Redundant IP address is configured in addition to the normal unique IP address of each Ethernet module. Under application logic control, only the Ethernet module in the active unit can use the Redundant IP address. 

▪ Time synchronization to SNTP Time Server on Ethernet network (when used with Release 5.00 or later CPU module).

Hardware Installation

Initial Checks

Upon receiving your RX3i equipment, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage. If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged shipping container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier. As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. GE Intelligent Platforms will fully cooperate with you, however, should such action be necessary. After unpacking the RX3i equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are required if you should need to contact Customer Care during the warranty period. All shipping containers and all packing material should be saved should it be necessary to transport or ship any part of the system. Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree with your order. If the system received does not agree with your order, contact Customer Care.

Installation Location

This product is intended for use with the RX3i system. Its components are considered open equipment (having live electrical parts that may be accessible to users) and must be installed in an ultimate enclosure that is manufactured to provide safety. As a minimum, the enclosure shall provide a degree of protection against solid objects as small as 12mm (e.g. fingers). This equates to a NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure or an IEC60529 IP20 rating providing at least a pollution degree 2 environment. For details about installing RX3i rack systems, refer to GFK 2314. If you need technical help, contact Technical Support. For phone numbers and email addresses, see the back cover of this Guide.
