Description

GE IC695PBM300 PACSystems RX3i Backplane Module

Product Overview

The GE IC695PBM300 is a high-performance backplane module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i programmable automation controllers, serving as the critical interconnect backbone for modular automation systems. As part of the IC695 Series, this backplane enables seamless communication and power distribution between RX3i modules—including controllers, I/O modules, and communication cards—ensuring reliable data flow in industrial environments.

 

Featuring a 10-slot configuration, the GE IC695PBM300 supports high-speed data transfer across connected modules via its proprietary bus architecture, which operates at 1 Gbps to minimize latency. This ensures real-time synchronization between components, critical for applications like turbine control or precision manufacturing. The backplane’s rugged metal chassis and conformal coating protect against dust, vibration, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh settings such as factories with heavy machinery or offshore platforms.

 

In automation systems, the IC695PBM300 integrates seamlessly with the RX3i ecosystem, accommodating a mix of digital, analog, and specialty modules to meet diverse application needs. Its hot-swappable support allows modules to be replaced without powering down the system, reducing downtime in 24/7 operations. By combining robust construction, high-speed connectivity, and flexible scalability, the GE IC695PBM300 forms the foundation of reliable, high-performance automation systems, enhancing operational efficiency across industries.

Main Features and Advantages

High-speed data backbone:
The IC695PBM300’s 1 Gbps backplane bus ensures rapid data transfer between connected modules, minimizing latency in time-critical applications. For example, in automotive assembly lines, this speed enables the RX3i controller to receive sensor data from I/O modules and send actuation signals to robotic arms in microseconds, ensuring precise synchronization.

 

Flexible 10-slot configuration:
With 10 slots, the backplane accommodates a mix of RX3i modules—including IC695CPU310 controllers, IC695ALG508 analog input modules, and IC695CMM002VC communication cards—supporting scalable system designs. This flexibility allows engineers to customize configurations for specific needs, from small-scale machines to large industrial processes.

 

Rugged environmental resilience:
The IC695PBM300’s metal chassis and conformal coating withstand extreme temperatures (-25°C to +70°C), vibration, and EMI, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. It thrives in settings like steel mills, where dust and electrical noise are prevalent, or desert power plants with wide temperature swings.

 

Seamless power distribution:
The backplane distributes 5 V DC (for logic) and 24 V DC (for field devices) to connected modules, eliminating the need for separate power harnesses. This integrated design reduces wiring complexity, lowers installation time, and minimizes points of failure.

 

Hot-swappable module support:
Compatible with hot-swappable RX3i modules, the IC695PBM300 allows replacement of I/O or communication cards without powering down the system. This feature is critical for 24/7 operations—such as chemical batch processing—where unplanned downtime can incur significant losses.

 

Enhanced system diagnostics:
The backplane works with the RX3i controller to monitor module presence, power status, and bus health, alerting operators to faults like a loose module or a failing power supply. This proactive monitoring reduces mean time to repair (MTTR), ensuring continuous operation.

 

Broad module compatibility:
Designed exclusively for the PACSystems RX3i platform, the IC695PBM300 supports all IC695 Series modules, ensuring long-term compatibility with future upgrades. This protects investment in automation infrastructure, as new modules can be integrated without replacing the backplane.

Application Areas

The GE IC695PBM300 is indispensable in industries requiring modular, reliable automation systems:

 

  • Manufacturing:
    Serves as the backbone for assembly line control systems, connecting robotic controllers, vision sensors, and conveyor I/O modules. Its high-speed bus ensures synchronized operation of multiple machines, improving production throughput.
  • Energy Sector:
    Integrates with turbine control modules, temperature sensors, and grid synchronization devices in power plants. The backplane’s rugged design withstands the vibration and EMI from generators, ensuring stable data flow for efficient energy production.
  • Chemical Processing:
    Connects reactor I/O modules, pressure transducers, and emergency shutdown (ESD) cards in batch processing facilities. Its hot-swappable support allows maintenance during scheduled breaks, avoiding costly interruptions to chemical reactions.
  • Water and Wastewater:
    Links pump controllers, flow meters, and treatment process I/O modules in filtration plants. The backplane’s corrosion-resistant coating ensures reliability in humid, chemically exposed environments.

 

Specific applications include coordinating robotic welders in automotive plants, synchronizing turbine sensors in combined-cycle power plants, and managing valve actuators in water treatment facilities.
