Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CBL003 is a high-performance bus interface module (BRM) designed for Emerson’s PACSystem RX3i platform (formerly under GE Fanuc). It enables seamless expansion from a primary rack to up to seven additional PLC racks, supporting long-distance interconnects of up to 50 feet (15.24 meters) while ensuring robust communication in industrial automation systems. With a 32-bit RISC processor and support for RS232/RS485 protocols, the GE IC695CBL003 facilitates high-speed data transfer (efficiency >90%) and real-time monitoring of distributed I/O networks. Its industrial-grade shielding withstands electromagnetic interference (EMI) in harsh environments like motor control centers, operating reliably from -20°C to +50°C and 5–95% relative humidity (non-condensing). Ideal for complex automation architectures, this module enhances system scalability and stability across manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure applications.
