Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Network Determinism
The IC695ETM001-DG interfaces directly with the PACSystems RX3i backplane bus, driving deterministic industrial Ethernet data frames across local controller racks. Backplane bus communication velocity and network buffer drivers are structured to maintain continuous synchronization between the RX3i CPU and network nodes. Firmware flash compatibility and protocol processing routines execute TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP traffic at 10/100 Mbps without causing high-density I/O scan delay or backplane contention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC695ETM001-DG require an external power supply wiring terminal?
A: No. The module draws its required operational power directly (24 VDC equivalent) from the internal RX3i backplane power supply rails.
Q: Which physical connectors are used to attach network field wiring to the module?
A: The module features a single standard RJ-45 port compliant with IEEE 802.3 specifications for 10/100 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet connections.
Field Installation Guidelines
Isolate main rack power before inserting or removing the IC695ETM001-DG from the PACSystems RX3i chassis. Ensure the unit is aligned along the backplane slot guides and fully engaged to establish frame ground continuity through the mounting assembly. Industrial shielded twisted-pair (STP) Category 5e or higher cables with shielded RJ-45 connectors must be used to mitigate high-frequency electromagnetic interference. The outer metallic shield of the network cable must be bonded to factory ground following standard industrial grounding practices.
