GE IC695PBM300 Controller Master Station Module

The GE IC695PBM300 is a Profibus DP master station module in the PACSystems RX3i series, primarily designed to enable data communication between the RX3i CPU and slave devices on the Profibus-DP network. The detailed introduction is as follows:

• Supports communication with up to 125 Profibus-DP slave stations.

• Each slave station can handle up to 244 bytes of input data and 244 bytes of output data, with a total support for up to 3,584 bytes of input and 3,584 bytes of output data, meeting data transmission requirements in most industrial scenarios.

• Supports all standard data rates, including 9.6kBit/s, 19.2kBit/s, 93.75kBit/s, 187.5kBit/s, 500kBit/s, 1.5Mbit/s, 3Mbit/s, 6Mbit/s, and 12Mbit/s, allowing flexible rate selection based on application scenarios and distance.

• Enables synchronous and freeze modes, as well as DP-V1 read/write and alarm message functions, meeting the accuracy, real-time performance, and fault feedback requirements in complex industrial control scenarios.

• Equipped with three Profibus-standard LED indicators for module and network status:

• Green OK LED: Indicates power supply and backplane reset completion.

• Dual-color network LED: Stable yellow when the module holds the Profibus token and can transmit messages; yellow flashing when sharing the network with another Profibus master; red when at least one slave station has communication issues (e.g., connection timeout); steady green when the module is configured and connected to at least one network device.

• Requires an RX3i CPU with firmware version 2.9 or higher for normal operation.

• Must be configured using Machine Edition version 5.0 SP2 Logic Developer - PLC or higher.

• Must be installed in an RX3i universal backplane to ensure normal communication and collaboration with other modules.

• The IC695PBM300 features a 9-pin sub-D connector for bus cable connection, facilitating physical integration with other devices in the Profibus network.

• Operating temperature range: 0 to 60°C, suitable for most conventional industrial environments.

• Connects slave devices like robot controllers, servo drives, and sensors to enable collaborative control of body welding, painting, and final assembly processes.

• Supports high-speed data exchange (e.g., 12 Mbps) to ensure real-time feedback of robot position and force feedback data.

• Integrates weighing equipment, labeling machines, palletizing robots, etc., to synchronize production cycles via the Profibus DP protocol.

• Achieves precise synchronization of multi-axis motion control through the synchronous mode function.

• Connects temperature sensors, PLC controllers, valve actuators, etc., supporting communication for hygienic-grade equipment.

• Enhances production line reliability through redundant configuration (requires RX3i redundant CPU).

• Connects distributed I/O stations, intelligent instruments (e.g., pH meters, flowmeters), and control valves to build closed-loop control systems.

• Supports DP-V1 alarm message functions for real-time response to abnormal process parameters.

• Applies to substation automation, connecting protection devices, smart meters, RTUs, etc.

• Enables synchronous collection of key device status data during system failures through the freeze mode function.

• Suits pipeline transportation monitoring and pump station control, supporting intrinsically safe slave devices in hazardous areas.

• High anti-interference design ensures stable operation in complex electromagnetic environments of oilfields.

• Connects stacker cranes, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), conveyor controllers, etc., to automate goods storage and handling.

• Supports up to 125 slave stations to meet distributed control needs in large warehouses.

• Integrates crane controllers, belt conveyors, container recognition systems, etc., to improve loading/unloading efficiency.

• Reduces equipment response delay through the high-speed communication capability of the Profibus DP protocol.

• Connects water pumps, valves, water quality monitoring instruments, etc., to automate process operations.

• Supports long-distance communication (e.g., 1,200 meters at 9.6 kbps) to adapt to dispersed plant equipment.

• Controls aeration systems, sludge treatment equipment, level sensors, etc., to optimize treatment processes.

• Ensures timing consistency in collaborative operations of multiple devices through the synchronous mode.

• Acts as a master station to connect third-party devices (e.g., Siemens drives, ABB instruments), enabling multi-brand equipment collaboration.

• Supports hot-swapping for convenient equipment maintenance and upgrades.

• Serves as a field-level communication hub to upload underlying device data to MES or SCADA systems.

• Enables edge computing functions (e.g., data preprocessing) through seamless integration with RX3i CPUs.
