Functional Description

IC695CMM002 is a serial communications module developed by GE Fanuc. It is a part of Fanuc RX3i Series, specifically designed to enhance communication capabilities within the RX3i PACSystems PLCs. This module is a key component for integrating various serial communication protocols, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Features

• The module is equipped with two independent, isolated serial ports. These ports can operate autonomously, allowing for simultaneous communication across different protocols and devices without interference. The isolation ensures that electrical disturbances on one port do not affect the other, enhancing the reliability of the system.
• By default, the module supports full duplex communication, enabling simultaneous two-way data transmission on both ports. It can handle multiple serial protocols, including RS232 and RS485/422, making it adaptable to various industrial communication needs. Additionally, with the appropriate firmware, the module can also be configured for half duplex communication, where data transmission occurs in one direction at a time.
• The module is designed to function in a wide range of environmental conditions, with an ambient operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 60 degrees Celsius). This makes it suitable for use in various industrial settings, from controlled environments to more challenging field conditions.
• Up to six modules can be installed in the main PACSystems RX3i backplane, offering scalability for systems that require multiple communication channels. This flexibility allows for extensive customization and expansion of the RX3i PACSystems to meet the specific needs of different applications.

Protocol Support

It is designed to manage both master and slave protocols efficiently. The supported protocols include:

• Modbus Slave
• Modbus Master
• DNP3 Slave
• DNP3 Master
• CCM Slave
• Serial I/O Protocol

This wide range of supported protocols makes the module suitable for diverse applications, from simple device control to complex industrial automation systems.

Installation and Hot-Swapping

• One of the standout features is its hot-swapping capability. This means the module can be safely installed or removed from the PACSystems RX3i backplane without needing to power down the entire system.
• This feature is crucial for minimizing downtime and maintaining continuous operation in critical industrial environments.

Power Requirements

The serial communications module operates with internal power ratings of:

• 0.115 Amps at 5 Volts DC
• 0.7 Amps at 3.3 Volts DC
