Product Overview
The IC695NIU001-CA is an Ethernet Network Interface Unit (NIU) for the PACSystems RX3i Universal Backplane. This 100% Brand New module enables a remote rack to function without a local CPU by communicating directly with a central PACSystems controller over Ethernet. It ensures deterministic I/O updates and seamless integration into distributed control architectures.

Flexible Serial Integration: Two serial ports allow connection of legacy devices like barcode readers or power meters as Modbus RTU masters or slaves.
-
Robust Diagnostics: Front-panel LEDs indicate network link status, module health, and serial activity, simplifying troubleshooting.
FAQs
Does the IC695NIU001-CA require a CPU in the remote rack?
No. It replaces the local CPU, managing all connected I/O modules and communicating directly with a central PACSystems RX3i or RX7i controller.
What is the difference between the -CA version and earlier revisions?
The -CA revision features updated internal components and improved environmental resistance while maintaining full compatibility with previous versions such as -AA or -BA.
Can I configure this module remotely?
Yes. Using Proficy Machine Edition, you can download the configuration over Ethernet as long as the NIU has a valid IP address.
How many I/O modules can this NIU support?
It supports any RX3i-compatible I/O modules up to the rack’s physical slot limit and the power supply’s capacity.
