Description
Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC695RMX128 is a high-speed Redundancy Memory Xchange (RMX) module designed for the PACSystems RX3i family. It enables hot-standby CPU redundancy and deterministic reflective memory networking, ensuring mission-critical systems maintain continuous operation with minimal downtime. This module supports large-scale reflective memory networks, providing synchronized data across all nodes for reliable industrial control.
Equipped with 128 MB of reflective memory and fiber-optic networking, the IC695RMX128 can serve as either a dedicated redundancy link between CPUs or as a general node in a distributed memory network. It supports up to 256 nodes, allowing scalable deployment in complex automation architectures. Hot-swap capability and advanced diagnostics simplify maintenance and fault detection, making it ideal for high-availability environments.
