Product Overview

The IC695LRE001C serves as a critical Bus Transmitter module for the PACSystems RX3i control system. It enables the expansion of the system beyond a single backplane by transmitting internal PCI and Serial bus signals to remote expansion racks. This allows the central CPU to manage high-density I/O configurations across multiple chassis while maintaining precise synchronization.

We provide this module in 100% Brand New original condition, made in the USA to ensure compatibility with Emerson/GE Fanuc industrial standards.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Scalable Control Architecture
This module allows you to connect up to seven expansion or remote racks to a single RX3i CPU, providing a cost-effective method to scale I/O points without the need for additional processors.

Dual Bus Support
The IC695LRE001C supports both the PCI bus for high-speed modules and the Serial bus for legacy Series 90-30 I/O modules, ensuring compatibility and protecting your investment in existing hardware.

Simplified Rack Addressing
The module manages the communication path between the CPU and the remote racks, so all modules in expanded racks are treated as though they are part of the local backplane. This reduces configuration complexity in PAC Machine Edition software.

High-Speed Data Integrity
The module features advanced signal conditioning to ensure that data integrity is maintained over expansion cables, enabling remote I/O modules to respond in the same deterministic logic scan as local modules.

Rugged Connectivity
Built with industrial-grade connectors, the transmitter is designed to withstand the vibrations and temperature fluctuations common in industrial environments, ensuring reliable operation in factory floor control cabinets.

FAQs

Does this module require a receiver on the other end?
Yes, the IC695LRE001C Bus Transmitter must be paired with a Bus Receiver module, such as the IC695LRE001 (or compatible model), installed in the target expansion rack.

Can I use standard Ethernet cables for the expansion link?
No, you must use dedicated GE/Emerson high-speed expansion cables (such as the IC693CBL series) to ensure that PCI/Serial bus timing and voltage levels are properly maintained.

Is there a software limit to how many expansion modules I can use?
The RX3i system typically supports up to 7 expanded racks. However, you should calculate the total power consumption of all modules in each rack to ensure that the local power supply can handle the load.

What is the difference between the "C" version and older revisions?
The "C" suffix denotes a later hardware revision, which includes updated firmware support and enhanced component tolerances for improved long-term reliability in modern automation environments.
