Engineering Advantages
High-Speed Data Throughput
Designed for VME-based architecture, the module efficiently transfers large data blocks between PLC CPU and Ethernet network with deterministic performance suitable for process automation.
Broad Protocol Support
Supports SRTP and Modbus TCP, enabling seamless integration with GE SCADA systems and third-party industrial controllers.
Flexible Network Interface
Uses an AUI interface, allowing connection to RJ-45 or fiber networks through external transceivers, providing adaptability for legacy and modern plant infrastructures.
Diagnostic Transparency
Front-panel LEDs provide clear indication of link status, network activity, and module health for fast troubleshooting and reduced downtime.
FAQs
Does the IC697CMM742-HK support RJ-45 directly?
No. It requires an external 10Base-T AUI transceiver to connect to RJ-45 Ethernet networks.
What does the “-HK” suffix indicate?
It represents a specific hardware revision with improved reliability and updated internal components.
How is the IP address configured?
IP configuration is performed via PLC programming software such as Proficy Machine Edition or Logicmaster 90-70 and stored in CPU configuration memory.
Is it compatible with RX7i systems?
Not directly. RX7i typically uses newer IC698-series Ethernet modules, though both platforms can interoperate through networked architectures.
