Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Expansion Drivers
The IC695LRE001C interfaces directly with the PACSystems RX3i backplane bus, driving high-speed serial expansion links to connect remote receiver modules across multiple chassis. Backplane bus communication velocity and serial driver signal integrity are optimized via differential line buffers, maintaining deterministic I/O scan synchronization across expansion racks. Firmware flash compatibility and revision matching across expansion interfaces ensure reliable bus access and prevent timing jitter or packet collisions during multi-rack data transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the IC695LRE001C module be removed or replaced while the RX3i main chassis is energized?
A: No. The serial bus transmitter module interacts directly with active PCI backplane signals. System power must be isolated prior to module insertion or removal to prevent electrical damage to backplane driver buffers.
Q: What function does the revision "C" designation represent on the IC695LRE001C?
A: The "C" suffix indicates a specific hardware revision update from the factory, which preserves backward functional compatibility with base model IC695LRE001 units while incorporating component-level circuit optimizations.
Field Installation Guidelines
Isolate all main power sources to the RX3i backplane before installing the IC695LRE001C into its assigned slot. Ensure the module is properly seated in the baseplate and tighten the retaining screw to establish solid chassis earth ground connection through the frame. Serial expansion interconnecting cables must be routed in grounded metallic conduits, physically separated from high-voltage AC cables, to protect high-frequency serial signals against electromagnetic interference.
