GE IC695LRE001CA RX3i Local Serial Expansion Conformal Coated

الوصف

The GE IC695LRE001CA is a Local Serial Bus Expansion module for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The “CA” suffix indicates that the module is conformal coated, providing an extra layer of protection for the electronic components.

Key Features

• Function: The module extends the RX3i’s backplane, enabling communication with additional I/O modules in expansion or remote backplanes. It acts as a bridge, converting the high-speed universal backplane signals into a serial bus protocol.
• Conformal Coating: The “CA” designation signifies that the electronic components are covered with a protective polymer film. This coating makes the module resistant to:
  • Moisture and humidity 💧
  • Dust and airborne contaminants
  • Corrosion from chemicals or salt spray 🧂
• Physical Connectivity: It plugs into a dedicated expansion connector on the right side of the main backplane and has a 25-pin connector for attaching an expansion cable.
• Scalability: A single RX3i system can be expanded with up to seven additional backplanes connected to the IC695LRE001CA, providing a highly scalable solution for applications with a large number of I/O points.

Applications

The IC695LRE001CA is ideal for building distributed control systems in harsh environments. It is used in:

• Industrial Automation: To expand a PLC system in a cost-effective way by locating I/O modules remotely.
• Harsh Environments: The conformal coating makes it suitable for use in industries with high humidity, chemical exposure, or corrosive atmospheres.
• System Integration: Used by engineers to design and assemble robust, reliable control systems for challenging conditions.
