The IC695PNC001 is a PROFINET controller module. This module is manufactured previously by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), now by Emerson Automation. This PROFINET controller enables an RX3i CPU to send and receive data over PROFINET network.
The IC695PNC001 is compatible for use with PACSystem RX3i CPU315 or CPU320, with firmware version 7.0 or higher. This module comes with Two (2) RJ-45 and Two (2) SFP slots with SFP connectors separately sold. Only One IP address is assigned for these PROFINET ports. Up to Four (4) IC695PNC001 can be installed along a single CPU and must located to the to the main rack only, where the CPU resides. Up to Sixty-Four (64) I/O devices can be connected to One (1) controller; 128 I/O device per network, distributed among Eight (8) I/O controllers. Additionally, up to Eight (8) I/O devices can be installed in a single network. This module has configurable data update times of 1 ms, 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, 64 ms, 128 ms, 256 ms and 512 ms.
The IC695PNC001 can be Removed and Inserted Under Power (RIUP). It occupies a single slot of the chassis and draws 0.5 A without SFP devices installed and maximum of 1.2 A maximum with Two (2) SFP devices installed where an SFP device uses 0.35 A. At 5.5 VDC, the module draws 1.5 A, maximum.
Aside from the embedded dual PROFINET ports, this module also comes with a micro USB connector that is used for communicating with a computer using Command Line Interface. It must be operated at a temperature range of 0-60 Degree Celsius.
