GE IC698ETM001 Ethernet Interface Module for Rx7i PACsystem

Product Description  of   IC698ETM001

IC698ETM001 is an Ethernet interface module manufactured by GE Fanuc to provide high performance Ethernet communications for RX7i control systems. It has an Ethernet processing speed of 200 MHz. Operating voltage is +5 VDC from the power supply, and current drain is 1.5 (+5 VDC) max. The IC698ETM001 also provides TCP/IP communications with other GE Intelligent Platforms control systems and host computers with software for Ethernet communications to GE Intelligent Platforms controllers.

Select features of IC698ETM001 include provision of full configuration and programming services as well as intermittent data exchange via Ethernet Global Data (EGD). This module offers EGD Class 2 functionality, or commands, and Reliable Data Service (RDS) to ensure command messages are communicated correctly. The module is equipped with comprehensive station management as well as diagnostic tools and extended connectivity. Full-duplex ports provide auto-negotiated network speed and crossover detection due to an internal network switch.

The IC698ETM001 module’s redundant IP addressing permits an individual IP address to be assigned to two Ethernet modules in two different controllers. The address is configured in addition to the original IP address for each interface. The active unit Ethernet interface is the only one that can use the redundant IP. Note: The user must confirm that the gateway IP address is configured.

Flash memory stores protocol in the Ethernet interface and is conveniently upgraded using the CPU serial port. Communications with remote controllers and other nodes are possible via routers. This module is equipped with status LEDs to assist in operation and troubleshooting.

The GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC698ETM001 is a PACSystem RX7i Ethernet interface module. This module features high-performance Ethernet capability. This module has Two (2) Ethernet communication ports supporting 10/100 Mbps communication rate with autosensing feature and One (1) serial communication that serves as station manager port. It supports TCP/IP
