Description
Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC695LRE001 is a dedicated Serial Bus Transmitter Module for the PACSystems RX3i family, enabling communication between the RX3i Universal Backplane and IC694 or IC693 serial expansion and remote backplanes. This module allows scalable and distributed system designs by converting RX3i backplane signals into the levels required for expansion racks.
Compact and lightweight, the IC695LRE001 installs directly into the expansion connector on the right end of the RX3i Universal Backplane. Built-in LED indicators provide immediate diagnostics for power and communication status, ensuring reliable operation across multiple racks. With a robust data rate of up to 500 kB/s and support for cable lengths up to 15 m, this module is optimized for medium-distance, high-speed serial communication.
