The GE IC698ETM001CA is a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Communications Module for the PACSystems RX7i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The “CA” suffix indicates that the module is conformal coated, which provides a protective layer against environmental contaminants.
Key Features
- Ethernet Connectivity: The module provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port for high-speed network communication. This allows the RX7i PLC to connect to a plant-wide network for programming, diagnostics, and data exchange with other devices and systems.
- Conformal Coating: The “CA” designation is a crucial feature. It means the electronic components on the module are covered with a thin, protective polymer film. This coating safeguards the circuitry from environmental factors like moisture, dust, chemical vapors, and corrosion 💧.
- Protocol Support: It supports a variety of industrial Ethernet protocols, including SRTP, Modbus TCP/IP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD). EGD is particularly useful for high-speed, peer-to-peer data exchange between multiple GE PLCs.
- Slot Occupancy: This module is designed to be installed in a single slot on an RX7i universal backplane.
- Hot Swap Capability: Like other RX7i modules, it supports hot insertion and extraction, allowing it to be replaced while the system is powered on, which minimizes downtime.
Applications
The IC698ETM001CA is an essential component for integrating an RX7i PLC into modern industrial networks, especially in demanding environments. It is used in:
- Harsh Environments: Ideal for use in chemical plants, paper mills, or outdoor applications where the module is exposed to corrosive gases, high humidity, or fine particulates.
- System Integration: Its built-in Ethernet port simplifies integration with other devices like HMIs, drives, and SCADA systems.
- Distributed Control Systems: For setting up communication between multiple RX7i or RX3i PLCs over an Ethernet network.
