Description

GE IC695CMU310 PACSystems RX3i Communication Module

Product Overview

The GE IC695CMU310 is a high-performance communication module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i automation platform, serving as a critical networking component in industrial control systems across power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing. As a multi-protocol module, the IC695CMU310 enables seamless data exchange between RX3i controllers and external devices, supporting Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Profibus DP—key for integrating legacy systems with modern IIoT architectures.

 

Engineered for versatility, the IC695CMU310 features two 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with auto-negotiation and 1x Profibus DP master/slave port, facilitating connectivity to SCADA systems, HMIs, and cloud platforms. Its 32-bit ARM processor ensures high-speed data transfer (up to 100 Mbps), while dual-port isolation prevents signal interference in noisy industrial environments. The module operates across -40°C to +70°C, with a rugged metal enclosure that withstands vibration, humidity, and corrosive atmospheres—ideal for offshore platforms and chemical plants.

 

Within the RX3i ecosystem, the IC695CMU310 integrates seamlessly with controllers like IC695CPU313 and I/O modules such as IC694ALG392, forming a cohesive communication backbone. LED indicators provide real-time status for power, Ethernet activity, and Profibus faults, simplifying diagnostics. Compliance with UL 508 and IEC 61010 standards underscores its reliability in regulated industrial settings, where uninterrupted data flow is critical for process stability.

Main Features and Advantages

Multi-Protocol Flexibility

The IC695CMU310 supports Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Profibus DP, eliminating the need for multiple communication modules. This versatility allows RX3i systems to integrate with legacy Profibus sensors, modern Ethernet/IP HMIs, and Modbus-based SCADA systems—critical for retrofitting aging facilities without replacing existing equipment.

High-Speed Data Transfer

With a 32-bit ARM processor and 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, the module ensures low-latency communication, enabling real-time monitoring of turbine vibration, reactor pressure, and other time-sensitive parameters. Its Profibus DP port (12 Mbps) supports up to 126 devices, making it suitable for large-scale installations like automotive assembly lines.

Rugged Industrial Design

Encased in a durable metal housing, the IC695CMU310 operates reliably in extreme conditions: -40°C to +70°C temperatures, 20g shock resistance, and 5–95% non-condensing humidity. This ruggedness makes it ideal for offshore platforms, where salt spray and vibration threaten conventional networking equipment.

Advanced Diagnostics

LED indicators for power, Ethernet link/activity, and Profibus faults provide instant visual feedback, while SNMPv3 support enables remote monitoring via network management tools. The module logs communication errors and device disconnects, allowing technicians to proactively address issues before they disrupt operations.

Seamless RX3i Integration

The IC695CMU310 plugs directly into RX3i racks, using the backplane for power and data transfer. It pairs with IC695TBM302 terminal blocks for secure wiring and IC695PSD140 redundant power supplies, ensuring uninterrupted operation in safety-critical systems like nuclear reactor controls.

Application Fields

The GE IC695CMU310 is indispensable in industries requiring robust communication between control systems and external networks:

 

  • Power Generation: Connects RX3i controllers to SCADA systems in thermal plants, enabling remote monitoring of steam turbine performance and generator output. Its Profibus support integrates with legacy pressure transducers, while Ethernet/IP links to cloud platforms for predictive maintenance analytics.
  • Oil and Gas: Facilitates data exchange between offshore platform controllers and onshore control centers. The module’s rugged design withstands salt spray and vibration, ensuring reliable communication for wellhead pressure monitoring and compressor control.
  • Automotive Manufacturing: Links RX3i systems to robotic arms, conveyor belts, and quality inspection tools via Ethernet/IP. Its Profibus DP port integrates with legacy sensors, streamlining production line synchronization and reducing downtime.
  • Water Treatment: Connects RX3i controllers to chemical dosing pumps and flow meters, using Modbus TCP to transmit data to municipal SCADA systems. This ensures compliance with environmental regulations by enabling real-time tracking of water quality parameters.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparations: Verify the RX3i rack is grounded and powered with 24V DC (±10%). Mount the IC695CMU310 in the rack, securing it with captive screws. Connect Ethernet cables to ports 1 and 2 (use shielded Cat5e/Cat6 for industrial environments) and Profibus devices to the DP port via IC695TBM302 terminal blocks. Configure network settings (IP address, subnet mask) using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software, ensuring compatibility with target devices.

 

Maintenance suggestions: Conduct monthly visual inspections to check for loose connectors, damaged cables, or dim LEDs. Clean dust from ventilation slots using compressed air to prevent overheating. Quarterly, update firmware via Proficy to address security vulnerabilities and improve protocol compatibility. Test Ethernet and Profibus links by pinging devices and verifying data transmission—replace cables if errors persist. When replacing the IC695CMU310, back up network configurations to simplify reinstallation, and retest all connections post-installation.
