GE IC695CMM002 Universal Communication Module

The module adopts patented high-speed technology to improve data transmission efficiency. During data transmission, it caches and processes data to ensure accuracy and integrity. The module also has status monitoring and control functions: it monitors its working status (such as normal communication or errors) through internal logic circuits and programs, and feeds back these status information to users via LED indicators or status bits, facilitating fault diagnosis and system maintenance. In addition, users can control the communication process (such as setting communication parameters, starting or stopping communication) through programming.

• Multi-Protocol Support: Supports multiple protocols including Serial I/O, Modbus Master/Slave, CCM Slave, DNP3 Master/Slave, and SPL. Each port can be independently configured for protocols, enabling flexible communication with devices from different manufacturers and protocol standards to meet communication needs in various industrial scenarios. It should be noted that if one port is configured as a DNP3 slave or master, other ports of the module can only be configured as DNP3 masters or slaves.

• Dual Independent Serial Ports: The module provides two completely independent serial ports, which can be respectively connected to different external devices to implement different communication tasks, greatly improving the application flexibility and communication efficiency of the module.

• Software-Configurable Serial Modes: The external serial ports can be easily set to three working modes (RS232, two-wire RS485, four-wire RS485) via software, adapting to different communication distances and environmental requirements. The interface is in RJ45 form, facilitating wiring and connection with other devices.

• Selectable Baud Rates: Supports multiple baud rates, including 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K, etc. Users can select appropriate baud rates according to actual communication needs and device requirements to ensure stable and accurate communication.

• High-Speed Data Transmission: Adopts patented high-speed technology to effectively improve data throughput, enabling fast data sending and receiving to meet application scenarios with high requirements for data transmission speed, such as industrial control processes with high real-time requirements.

• Hot Swapping: Supports hot swapping of the module, including new and old I/O modules for PCI backplane bus and serial backplane bus. The module can be plugged or unplugged during system operation without affecting normal system operation, which is convenient for system maintenance and upgrading, effectively reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

• Electrical Isolation: Has isolation functions between ports and between ports and the backplane. This isolation design can effectively prevent electrical interference, improve the anti-interference capability and operational stability of the module, and protect the safety of devices and personnel to a certain extent.

• Wide Voltage and Current Adaptability: Supports various voltage ranges and current capacities, enabling stable operation in different power environments, adapting to power supply conditions in different application scenarios, and improving the environmental adaptability of the module.

• Good Compatibility: As a communication module of the GE RX3i series, it has good compatibility with other modules and devices of the series, and can be well integrated into the entire RX3i system to jointly achieve complex industrial control tasks. In addition, RX3i serial modules can be easily transplanted into 90-30 series PLCs, featuring certain versatility and expandability.

• Compliance with Multiple Standards: Complies with relevant standards and requirements such as CE, UL/CUL 508 and 1604, ATEX, etc., indicating that it meets certain international standards in terms of safety and reliability, and can be used with confidence in industrial environments of different regions and industries.
