Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695LCU002 is an Ethernet interface module within GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform (now under Emerson Automation), designed to bridge industrial PLC systems with Ethernet-based networks for real-time data exchange. This module enables seamless integration of 90-70 series PLCs into broader automation architectures by supporting multiple industrial protocols, including IEEE 802.2 (Logical Link Control) and IEEE 802.3 (10 Mbps Ethernet LAN). Equipped with three versatile network ports—a 10Base-T RJ-45 port, a 10Base2 BNC port, and an AUI port—the IC695LCU002 facilitates flexible connectivity for devices such as HMIs, SCADA systems, and remote I/O. Its integrated RJ-11 serial RS-232 port and 15-pin RS-485 port further streamline diagnostics and firmware updates. Built for harsh industrial environments, this module ensures reliable communication in applications demanding high data integrity, such as manufacturing lines and critical infrastructure.

Key Features and Advantages
Multi-Protocol Flexibility: The GE IC695LCU002 supports IEEE 802.2/802.3 Ethernet standards and SNP serial protocols, enabling interoperability with legacy GE PLCs (e.g., 90-70 series) and modern SCADA systems. This eliminates the need for external gateways in hybrid networks.
Robust Connectivity Options: Three independent network ports (RJ-45, BNC, AUI) allow simultaneous connections to diverse devices—e.g., linking PLCs to HMIs via RJ-45 while using BNC for daisy-chained sensor networks. The RS-232/RS-485 ports enable local diagnostics without disrupting operations.
Industrial Resilience: With a 0°C–60°C operating range and EMI-shielded design, the module maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy settings like welding facilities or mining sites. Redundant communication paths ensure network continuity if primary links fail.
Simplified Integration: Plug-and-play compatibility with RX3i racks reduces configuration time. Real-time port status LEDs accelerate troubleshooting, cutting downtime by up to 30% during network faults.
Application Areas
- Manufacturing Machinery: Connects CNC machines, robotic arms, and quality control sensors in automotive plants, enabling real-time production monitoring and adaptive process adjustments.
- Packaging & Material Handling: Integrates conveyors, fillers, and labelers into centralized control systems for synchronized throughput tracking in food/pharmaceutical lines.
- Energy Infrastructure: Links turbine controllers and valve actuators in power plants to distributed control systems (DCS), supporting remote diagnostics for grid stability.
- Logistics Automation: Facilitates data exchange between warehouse AS/RS cranes and inventory databases, optimizing pallet routing accuracy in distribution centers.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Mount vertically in RX3i racks with ≥50 mm clearance. Use shielded CAT5e/CAT6 cables for RJ-45 connections >10 meters to prevent EMI interference. Verify ground continuity to avoid electrostatic damage.
Maintenance Recommendations: Clean port connectors biannually with isopropyl alcohol. Monitor network latency via PAC Machine Edition software; >50 ms latency indicates potential hardware degradation. Update firmware during scheduled downtime to patch security vulnerabilities.
