GE IC695PBM300 PROFIBUS-DP Master Module

Overview

The GE IC695PBM300 is a high-performance PROFIBUS-DP Master Module for the PACSystems RX3i series. It enables deterministic, high-speed communication between the RX3i controller and up to 125 PROFIBUS-DP slave devices. This module suits distributed control systems in manufacturing, energy, and process automation. It supports advanced PROFIBUS V1 features, including read/write operations, alarm messaging, and sync/freeze modes, ensuring precise control and monitoring. With onboard diagnostics and firmware upgrade capabilities, the module simplifies network maintenance and reduces downtime.
