GE Fanuc IC698ETM001

Part Number: IC698ETM001

The IC698ETM001 is a high-performance Ethernet interface module designed by GE Fanuc to enhance the communications capabilities of RX7i control systems. Operating at an Ethernet processing speed of 200 MHz, this module requires a +5 VDC power supply and has a maximum current consumption of 1.5 amps. It facilitates TCP/IP communication with GE Intelligent Platforms control systems and host computers, ensuring seamless integration for Ethernet-based applications.

The IC698ETM001 supports full configuration and programming services, along with intermittent data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD) Class 2 functionality and Reliable Data Service (RDS) to guarantee accurate command message transmission. It features robust station management and diagnostic tools, equipped with dual full-duplex Ethernet ports that automatically negotiate network speed and perform crossover detection through an internal network switch.

Additionally, this module supports redundant IP addressing, allowing one unique IP address to be assigned to two Ethernet modules located in different controllers, with only the active unit communicating via this redundant address. Users are advised to verify the configuration of the gateway IP address to ensure optimal performance. Flash memory allows for easy protocol upgrades via the CPU serial port, and connectivity with remote controllers and other nodes is enabled through routers. Status LEDs are included to assist in monitoring operational status and troubleshooting.

Suitable for a variety of industrial applications, the IC698ETM001 operates within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, making it a versatile choice for demanding environments.
