More Information

Overview Manuals Specifications Diagnostics Application Scenarios Configuration

Features:

  • Supports PROFIBUS DPV1 slave communication at bus speeds up to 12 Mbaud.
  • Handles up to 244 bytes of input and 244 bytes of output data through one DB-9 PROFIBUS interface.
  • Provides integrated bus diagnostics and alarm functions while occupying only one Universal Backplane slot.
General Electric IC695PBS301 extends PACSystems RX3i systems into PROFIBUS-based distributed automation networks. In applications where controllers, remote I/O, and other field devices communicate over PROFIBUS, IC695PBS301 provides the RX3i platform with a dedicated slave interface. PROFIBUS DPV1 support makes the module suitable for structured industrial communication environments requiring both cyclic process data exchange and network-level integration. A maximum bus speed of 12 Mbaud supports responsive communication in demanding control architectures.

General Electric IC695PBS301 fits directly into one slot of the RX3i Universal Backplane and uses the PCI bus for communication with the system. The module exchanges as much as 244 bytes of input and 244 bytes of output data, giving automation engineers a defined capacity for transferring field information between the RX3i system and a PROFIBUS master. A standard DB-9 PROFIBUS connector simplifies connection to established PROFIBUS installations. Integrated bus diagnostics and alarm capabilities also provide useful visibility into network operating conditions.

For plants using several industrial communication standards, General Electric IC695PBS301 complements the broader RX3i networking portfolio, which also includes Ethernet EGD, Genius, and DeviceNet options. The module is especially useful when PROFIBUS equipment must remain integrated within an RX3i-based control architecture without changing the field communication platform. Internal consumption of 420 mA at 5 VDC keeps power requirements clearly defined for backplane planning. Active lifecycle status further identifies IC695PBS301 as a current PROFIBUS slave communication option for PACSystems RX3i applications.

The IC695PBS301 General Electric PACSystems RX3i PROFIBUS Slave Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

General Electric IC695PBS301 PACSystems RX3i PROFIBUS Slave Module Specs

General

  • Manufacturer General Electric
  • Model IC695PBS301
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family IC695PBM300,IC694BEM331,IC694DNM200
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Dual-level LEDs: The front panel integrates two independent status indicator levels, mapping the backplane communication link status and PROFIBUS bus activity in real time.
  • Fault Transmission: Supports real-time encapsulation of specific physical faults and channel disconnection alarms from underlying field instruments into standard PROFIBUS diagnostic messages.
  • Software Capture: Compatible with PAC Machine Edition diagnostic tools, allowing for precise online identification of network conflicts and node loss via error logs.
  • Watchdog Mechanism: The firmware incorporates a stringent backplane watchdog clock; if the main controller crashes, the module will immediately and safely shut down the bus output.
  • Cross-Brand Group Control: Specifically designed for seamlessly integrating GE RX3i control systems as slave stations into a PROFIBUS core network with a Siemens PLC as the master station.
  • Large-Scale DCS Integration: Deployed in heterogeneous networks in steel plants or chemical projects, securely transmitting data from distributed GE field controllers to the master DCS system.
  • Automotive Production Line: Suitable for segmented control of automotive assembly lines, allowing individual GE control cabinets in painting or stamping processes to directly follow the overall scheduling of the master control network.
  • Water Treatment Redundancy: Suitable for large-scale pump station retrofitting, integrating independent GE control units as substations into existing classic PROFIBUS token ring networks.
  • Integrated Configuration: Fully integrated into the PACSystems RX3i hardware configuration tree, eliminating the need for users to write complex initialization drivers.
  • GSD File: Provides official standard GSD device description files for easy identification and mapping by advanced networking tools in third-party systems.
  • Dynamic Addressing: Supports directly specifying the starting address of the module's I/O variable memory within the RX3i controller during hardware configuration.
  • Software Parameter Tuning: Module baud rate, data consistency options, and operating modes can all be modified online via software, eliminating the need for manual DIP switches.
