Description
The GE Fanuc D20-EME 10BASE-T is a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform, specialized in industrial automation and substation control. Engineered with a 32-bit PowerPC processor and D.20 HDLC communication ports, this module enables seamless integration of legacy systems with modern industrial networks, ensuring reliable operation in extreme environments.
The
D20-EME 10BASE-T serves as a critical component in GE’s PACSystems RX3i architecture, providing
10 Mbps Ethernet connectivity for real-time data exchange between PLCs, SCADA systems, and field devices. Its
D.20 HDLC protocol support allows direct communication with D20 I/O modules, while
7 RS-232/485 serial ports enable integration with legacy equipment like printers and IEDs. With
-40°C to +70°C operating range and
IP66/67 protection, the module withstands harsh conditions in power plants, oil refineries, and smart grid infrastructure.
