GE IC695LRE001: High-Speed Serial Bus Transmitter Module

Extended Backplane Communication for RX3i Systems

The IC695LRE001 provides critical serial communication for GE’s PACSystem RX3i platform. This transmitter module links the main CPU backplane with remote or serial expansion backplanes. Furthermore, it enables flexible system architecture by distributing I/O and processing across multiple racks.

High-Speed RS-232 Data Transmission

This module utilizes a non-isolated differential RS-232 communication standard for data transfer. It achieves an effective data rate of 500 kbps for rapid exchange of I/O and configuration information. Consequently, the system maintains fast, deterministic performance even across distributed hardware.

Optimized Power Consumption and Physical Design

The IC695LRE001 requires only 132 milliamps at 5 VDC from the RX3i backplane. Its compact, single-slot design conserves valuable rack space for additional I/O or specialty modules. Moreover, the module features two LED indicators for clear visual status and diagnostic feedback.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications and Connection Data

Below are the detailed technical parameters for the GE (Emerson) IC695LRE001 Serial Bus Transmitter.

Enabling Scalable and Distributed System Layouts

This module allows you to connect serial expansion racks located far from the main controller. You can extend the total system cable length up to 700 feet for maximum layout flexibility. Therefore, the IC695LRE001 is ideal for large machines or plants where I/O needs dispersion across a wide area.

Facilitating System Diagnostics and Status Monitoring

Two integrated LED indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of module health and activity. These lights help technicians quickly verify power, communication establishment, and data transmission status. This simple diagnostic tool minimizes troubleshooting time during commissioning and maintenance.

A Key Component for Modular PACSystem Design

By enabling remote backplanes, this transmitter supports a modular and cost-effective control strategy. You can place I/O modules close to field devices, which reduces long and costly wiring runs. System architects select the IC695LRE001 to build clean, efficient, and scalable automation solutions with the RX3i platform.
