Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695LRE001 is a critical communication interface module within the PACSystems RX3i platform, designed to bridge the universal backplane with serial expansion and remote backplanes in industrial automation systems. By converting signal levels between different backplane segments, the IC695LRE001 enables high-speed data transfer (up to 500 kbps) across distributed control architectures. Its RS-232 serial port supports robust communication over extended distances—50 feet for expansion backplanes and 700 feet for remote backplanes—making it ideal for large-scale facilities like power plants or manufacturing lines. Integrated LED indicators (“Extension OK” and “Expansion Active”) provide real-time status monitoring, while a compact form factor (141.8 mm × 75.3 mm × 30 mm) ensures easy integration into confined control cabinets. As a backbone for legacy and modern GE PLC systems (e.g., RX7i and Series 90-70), this module enhances system scalability without compromising reliability in harsh industrial environments .

Key Features and Advantages
Extended Communication Range: The GE IC695LRE001 supports long-distance serial communication (up to 700 ft), enabling decentralized control in large facilities like refineries or logistics centers. This eliminates the need for additional signal boosters, reducing installation costs by 20% .
Real-Time Diagnostics: Dual LED indicators (“Extension OK” and “Expansion Active”) provide instant visual feedback on module status and communication activity. This allows operators to detect link failures within seconds, cutting troubleshooting time by 30% in critical processes .
Seamless Integration: Compatible with RX3i and legacy 90-70 series PLCs, the module acts as a plug-and-play expansion unit. Its slot-efficient design (single-slot occupancy) optimizes rack space, while firmware-free configuration simplifies retrofitting .
Industrial Durability: Rated for -40°C to +85°C operation and EMI-resistant construction, the module maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy environments (e.g., welding stations or mining equipment) .
Application Areas
- Energy Infrastructure: Connects turbine controllers and valve actuators across remote substations, using long-range serial links for grid stability monitoring .
- Manufacturing Automation: Extends backplane communication to robotic cells and conveyor networks in automotive plants, ensuring synchronized operation of distributed I/O modules .
- Water Treatment Systems: Integrates pump control and sensor nodes in large-scale facilities, leveraging corrosion-resistant components for humid environments .

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Power down the PLC rack before mounting. Position the IC695LRE001 in the dedicated expansion slot on the right side of the universal backplane. Use shielded cables (CAT5e or higher) for connections >10 meters to suppress EMI .
Maintenance Recommendations: Clean RS-232 connectors annually with isopropyl alcohol to prevent oxidation. Monitor “Expansion Active” LED status weekly; intermittent flickering may indicate cable degradation. Replace backup batteries (IC694ACC302) every 3 years to prevent data loss .
Product Assurance
The GE IC695LRE001 includes a 1-year global warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Compliant with IEC 61131-2 and UL 508 standards, it undergoes rigorous EMC testing (EN 61000-6-4) for industrial reliability. Technical support provides 24/7 remote diagnostics and 72-hour on-site replacement for critical failures .
