Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CMM002LT is a high-performance serial communications module designed for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i industrial automation platform. Engineered for mission-critical discrete and process applications, this module features two independent, isolated RS-232/485/422 ports that support advanced communication protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, and CCM. The LT suffix denotes extended environmental resilience, including low-temperature compatibility (-40°C to +70°C) and enhanced ruggedness for harsh industrial environments923.
As part of the PACSystems RX3i series, the GE IC695CMM002LT enables seamless integration with legacy GE Series 90-30 systems while supporting modern PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) architectures. Its dual-port design allows simultaneous communication with field devices, SCADA systems, and third-party equipment, making it ideal for retrofitting or building scalable automation solutions in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment sectors. With hot-swap capability and diagnostic LEDs for real-time status monitoring, the module minimizes downtime during maintenance and ensures reliable operation in 24/7 production environments616.
