GE IC695NIU001 Ethernet Network Interface Unit

GE IC695NIU001 Ethernet Network Interface Unit

DESCRIPTION

The PACSystems RX3i Ethernet NIU, IC695NIU001, makes it possible to use PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30 I/O remotely on an Ethernet network. Once set up by configuration, data exchange is completely automatic. System control can be provided by any GE master device capable of exchanging Ethernet Global Data. The Ethernet NIU automatically provides the controller with status information in each exchange. The application program logic in the controller can monitor this status data, and issue appropriate commands to the Ethernet NIU.

An RX3i Ethernet NIU station consists of: 

 ▪ an RX3i Universal Backplane (IC695CHS0xx) 

 ▪ an RX3i power supply (IC695PSxxxx) 

 ▪ the RX3i Ethernet NIU (IC695NIU001) 

 ▪ one or more RX3i Ethernet modules (IC695ETM001) 

 ▪ proprietary application software 

 ▪ Optional Series 90-30 expansion backplanes.   

▪ PACSystems RX3i and/or Series 90-30 modules, as appropriate for the application.

Ethernet NIU Features

 ▪ 20Kbytes of optional local logic.  Supports all languages except C programming. 

 ▪ 10 Mbytes of built-in flash memory for local user data storage.   

 ▪ Battery-backed calendar clock. 

 ▪ In-system upgradeable firmware. 

 ▪ Two serial ports: an RS-485 serial port and an RS-232 serial port. 

 ▪ Supports Ethernet communications via the backplane based Ethernet Interface module (IC695ETM001) 

 ▪ Data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD) 

 ▪ TCP/IP communication services using SRTP 

 ▪ Comprehensive station management and diagnostic tools 

 ▪ Supports operation with redundant controllers

The following COMMREQs are supported: 

 ▪ Modbus Master – function codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 16, 17 

 ▪ Genius – enable/disable outputs, switch BSM, clear fault, clear all faults, assign monitor, read diagnostic
