6. Selection Recommendations
- System Type: Choose the IC695PBM300 – CC for GE 90 – 70 systems; for newer RX3i systems, opt for the IC697PCM711P.
- Redundancy Needs: Use dual IC695PBM300 – CC modules for critical systems to achieve N + 1 redundancy.
- Budget: Refurbished units from Shanxi Xinyeda are 35% cheaper and come with a 1 – year warranty.
7. Precautions
- Wiring: Use 12AWG wires for power inputs and shielded PROFIBUS cables to prevent EMI.
- Termination: Set the PROFIBUS terminator switch to “ON” when it is the last device on the bus.
- Firmware: Update using Proficy Machine Edition v5.0+ to ensure DP – V1 compatibility.
- Cooling: Ensure a 5cm clearance around the module for proper ventilation.
