                                                            Overview

                                                            IC695ETM001 is a single-port industrial Ethernet communication module for Emerson PACSystems RX3i PLC (formerly GE Fanuc). It expands independent high-speed Ethernet communication channels outside the CPU’s built-in Ethernet port, dedicated to data interaction with upper HMI, SCADA, remote PLCs and third-party intelligent devices. It supports multiple industrial Ethernet protocols and works with all RX3i backplanes for process and power automation systems.
