The IC695PNC001, manufactured by Emerson Automation and originally developed by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), is a PROFINET communication controller module within the PACSystems RX3i family. Designed to connect RX3i systems to PROFINET industrial networks, it supports PROFINET Version 2.2 General Class A IO-Controller functionality for efficient, high-speed communication between controllers and field devices. Compatible with CPU315 and CPU320 units running firmware version 7.0 or higher, the IC695PNC001 can manage up to 64 devices per PROFINET controller and supports configurations of up to 8 I/O controllers per network, accommodating a maximum of 2,048 I/O devices or 128 devices per network. The module is equipped with two RJ-45 ports, two SFP slots for fiber optic connectivity, and one micro USB connector for configuration and diagnostics. The IC695PNC001 may be implemented in automation environments across North America, Europe, Asia, and worldwide, where robust PROFINET communication, scalability, and interoperability are essential for complex industrial control networks.
