Description
GE IC695NIU001
- Technical Specifications:
- Ethernet Connectivity: Requires an IC695ETM001 module; supports 10/100 Mbps
- Serial Ports: 2 (RS-232 and RS-485)
- Local Logic Capacity: 20 KB
- Supports: RX3i and Series 90-30 I/O
- Mounting: Installs in IC695CHSxxx universal backplane
- Functional Features:
- Provides remote I/O and distributed I/O expansion over Ethernet
- Supports EGD exchange for high-speed data sharing
- Battery-backed real-time clock
- In-system firmware upgrades; comprehensive diagnostics
- Application Scenarios: Distributed I/O architectures connecting RX3i controllers to remote I/O racks; staged migration from 90-30 to RX3i.
- Performance Parameters:
- Data exchange via EGD; SRTP services
- Up to 20 KB local logic for NIU-resident control
- Material and Structural Characteristics:
- Industrial-grade NIU; typically a double-width module requiring Ethernet module companion
- Working Principle: Acts as a network node for I/O distribution, exchanging data with the main controller via EGD and managing local I/O scanning.
- Installation Requirements:
- Install in RX3i universal backplane; companion IC695ETM001 required
- Configure IP addresses and EGD exchange parameters in Proficy Machine Edition
- Usage Notes:
- Ensure the NIU and Ethernet module firmware are compatible
- Use EGD configuration for periodic data exchange and diagnostics
