Description
IC695ETM001 PACSystems RX3i 10/100Mbps Ethernet Interface Module with Embedded Switch
Product Application
IC695ETM001 belongs to GE (Emerson) PACSystems RX3i PLC series. It must be installed in the main CPU rack on RX3i universal backplane, connects RX3i controller to Ethernet network for programming, HMI communication, inter-controller data exchange and Modbus TCP field device communicationQualitrol. Built-in 2-port embedded Ethernet switch supports daisy-chain topology, saving external network switches. Common applications: power plant auxiliary control, water treatment, oil & gas skid control, manufacturing line PLC systems. It communicates with other PACSystems, Series 90 and VersaMax controllers over EthernetManualsLib.

Product Features
✅ Dual RJ45 with Built-in Ethernet Switch Two auto-negotiate 10/100 ports with internal switch, allow daisy-chain wiring of multiple PLC nodes without extra switch hardware.
✅ Multi-protocol Support EGD for fast real-time peer data exchange; SRTP for programming/download; Modbus TCP client/server for third-party instrument integration.
✅ Hot-Swap Capability Can replace module online while RX3i rack remains powered, reduce system downtime during maintenance.
✅ Dedicated RS232 Station Manager Port Local serial port for direct console access, IP setup and troubleshooting independent of Ethernet network.
✅ SNTP Time Synchronization Synchronize controller clock from network time server for event logs and sequence of events.
✅ Front Panel Status LEDs Clear visual indication of module health, network link and port activity for quick on-site diagnosis.
✅ RX3i Main Rack Only Install only in main CPU rack, cannot be used in remote expansion I/O racks.

Installation Guidelines
- Power off RX3i rack, insert IC695ETM001 into free universal backplane slot and lock module latches.
- Power on rack, open Proficy Machine Edition and scan hardware.
- Assign module IP address via Station Manager serial port or software configuration.
- Wire Ethernet network to RJ45 ports; use shielded CAT5e cable for industrial environment.
- Configure EGD exchange tables, Modbus TCP server/client parameters as required.
- Download project to RX3i CPU, verify network communication with HMI and peer controllers.
- Test daisy-chain communication if using multi-node topology.
- Perform hot-swap test in maintenance window before online commissioning.
Maintenance Instructions
Daily Maintenance Check front panel LED status; monitor network link and communication alarms in HMI / Proficy ME.
Periodic Maintenance (Every 6–12 months) Clean rack air filter. Inspect RJ45 and backplane connectors. Backup PLC project and Ethernet configuration.
Fault Maintenance
- No network link: Check cable, auto-negotiation and IP conflict.
- EGD data loss: Verify EGD exchange configuration and network latency.
- Module communication fault: Try front panel Ethernet reset button; if failure persists replace module.
- Do not modify IP and EGD table while critical process is running without control engineer approval.
Long-Term Operation Tips Maintain cabinet temperature within 0~60℃. Keep spare IC695ETM001 and backup project files.
