Competitive Edge

  • Protocol Agility: Supports more industrial protocols than standard modules, reducing dependency on gateway devices.
  • Cost Efficiency: Offers 30% lower power consumption compared to legacy GE 90-70 series modules, lowering operational costs.
  • Longevity: Backward-compatible with GE’s Series 90-30 PLCs, making it a cost-effective upgrade for legacy systems.

Selection Guide

  1. Compatibility Check:
    • Verify compatibility with your RX3i CPU and existing network infrastructure (e.g., switch compatibility with LACP).
    • Ensure RS-232/485 backup connectivity meets your system’s redundancy requirements.
  2. Environmental Requirements:
    • Choose the IP67-rated -HT variant for outdoor or corrosive environments.
    • Ensure adequate ventilation (5 cm clearance) in high-temperature settings.
  3. Budget Considerations:
    • Opt for refurbished IC695ETM001 modules (1-year warranty) to save 40% on costs compared to new units.
    • For future-proofing, consider the newer IC698ETM001 (supports PROFINET and TSN).

Installation and Maintenance Tips

  1. Installation:
    • Use anti-static wrist straps to prevent ESD damage during handling.
    • Securely mount the module in a RX3i rack, ensuring proper grounding.
  2. Maintenance:
    • Perform quarterly firmware updates via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition.
    • Replace the module’s internal battery every 5 years to maintain configuration data.
  3. Safety:
    • Power down the system before replacing modules to avoid electrical shocks.
    • Follow NEC 500 standards for hazardous locations.
