Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695CMM004LT is a high-performance 4-port serial communications module designed for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i industrial automation platform. Built for mission-critical applications in extreme environments, this module features four independent, isolated RS-232/485/422 ports with low-temperature resilience (-40°C to +70°C) and enhanced ruggedness for harsh industrial settings. The LT suffix denotes extended environmental capabilities, including resistance to vibration, humidity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for offshore oil platforms, arctic mining, and other demanding scenarios.
As part of the PACSystems RX3i series, the GE IC695CMM004LT supports advanced protocols like Modbus, DNP3, and CCM, enabling seamless integration with legacy systems and modern industrial IoT (IIoT) architectures. Its quad-port design allows simultaneous communication with field devices, SCADA systems, and third-party equipment, reducing reliance on external gateways. Hot-swap capability and diagnostic LEDs ensure minimal downtime during maintenance, while firmware updates via Proficy Machine Edition future-proof the module for evolving automation needs.
