The Ethernet Interface Module, IC695ETM001, connects a
PACSystems RX3i controller to an Ethernet network. It enables
the RX3i controller to communicate with other PACSystems
equipment and with Series 90 and VersaMax controllers. The
Ethernet Interface provides Transmission Control Protocol and
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communications with other control
systems, host computers running the Host Communications
Toolkit or programmer software, and computers running the
TCP/IP version of the programming software. These
communications use the Service Request Transport Protocol
(SRTP), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocols
over a four-layer TCP/IP (Internet) stack.
Features of the RX3i Ethernet Interface include:
▪
Full programming and configuration services. Firmware
upgrades from the RX3i CPU using the WinLoader
software utility, which is supplied with updates to the
Ethernet Interface software.
▪
Periodic data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD).
▪
EGD Commands to read and write controller and EGD
exchange memory over the network.
▪
TCP/IP communication services using SRTP.
▪
Support for SRTP Channels, Modbus/TCP Server, and
Modbus/TCP Client
▪
Built-in Station Manager for on-line supervisory access to
the Ethernet Interface. Dedicated Station Manager port.
▪
Two auto-sensing 10Base T / 100Base TX RJ-45 shielded
twisted-pair Ethernet ports for direct connection to either
a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX IEEE 802.3 network without an external transceiver. There is only one interface to the
network (only one Ethernet MAC address and only one IP address).
▪
Internal network switch with Auto negotiate, Sense, Speed, and crossover detection.
▪
Recessed Ethernet Restart pushbutton permits manually restarting the Ethernet firmware without power cycling
the system.
▪
LEDs: Ethernet OK, LAN OK, Log Empty, individual port activity and speed LEDs.
▪
Configurable stand-alone Redundant IP addressing, which allows a single IP address to be assigned to
corresponding Ethernet modules in two different controllers. The Redundant IP address is configured in
addition to the normal unique IP address of each Ethernet module. Under application logic control, only the
Ethernet module in the active unit can use the Redundant IP address.
▪
Time synchronization to SNTP Time Server on Ethernet network (when used with Release 5.00 or later CPU
module).

The damaged shipping container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier. As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. GE Intelligent Platforms will fully cooperate with you, however, should such action be necessary. -

RX3i Ethernet Interface Module IC695ETM001-HW IPI August 2017 GFK-2332Y Module Installation The ETM001 must be installed in the main (CPU) rack of an RX3i system, using a Universal Backplane such as IC695CHS007, CHS012 or CHS016. The ETM001 supports insertion/removal while power is applied to the system (hot swap). - Page 6 The IC695ETM001 is field upgradeable using the firmware upgrade utility. To upgrade an existing ETM001 to firmware version 6.41, you will need the upgrade kit 44A753032-G19, which can be downloaded from http://www.ge-ip.com/support. The hardware cannot be upgraded in the field.

- Page 10 RX3i Ethernet Interface Module IC695ETM001-HW IPI GFK-2332Y August 2017 Restrictions and Open Issues Subject Description SRTP communication delays Average latency of communications on SRTP channels may vary considerably due to TCP retransmissions. SRTP client applications should be designed to take this variance into account. In particular, SRTP client applications migrating from Series 90 SRTP servers to PACSystems may need to lengthen SRTP timeout parameters.
