The Ethernet Interface Module, IC695ETM001, connects a PACSystems RX3i controller to an Ethernet network. It enables the RX3i controller to communicate with other PACSystems equipment and with Series 90 and VersaMax controllers.
Features of the RX3i Ethernet Interface include:
▪ Programming and configuration services. Firmware upgrades from the RX3i CPU using the Web/HTTP method if the CPU supports that method, or by using the WinLoader software utility, which is supplied with updates to the Ethernet Interface software.
▪ Periodic data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD).
▪ EGD Commands to read and write controller and EGD exchange memory over the network.
▪ TCP/IP communication services using SRTP.
▪ Support for SRTP Channels, Modbus/TCP Server, and Modbus/TCP Client
▪ Ethernet port on faceplate of model for direct connect to the module.
▪ Three auto-sensing 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX RJ45 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet ports for direct connection to either a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX or 1000T IEEE 802.3 network without an external transceiver. There is one interface to the network for Communications protocols and Station Manager (two ports) and one separate interface (one port) for Station Manager access only.
▪ Internal network switch with Auto negotiate, Sense, Speed, and crossover detection.
▪ Ethernet Restart pushbutton permits manually restarting the Ethernet firmware without power cycling the system.
▪ LEDs: OK, STATUS, LAN OK, LOG EMPTY, individual port activity and speed LEDs.
▪ Configurable stand-alone Redundant IP Addressing, which allows a single IP Address to be assigned to corresponding Ethernet modules in two different controllers. The Redundant IP Address is configured in addition to the normal unique IP Address of each Ethernet module. Under application logic control, only the Ethernet module in the active unit can use the Redundant IP Address.
▪ Time synchronization to SNTP Time Server on Ethernet network (when used with Release 5.00 or later CPU module).
