Description
The GE Fanuc
IC695GCG001 is an RX3i PACSystems communications gateway module. It serves as a vital interface between Genius I/O devices on a Genius serial bus and GE Profinet I/O controllers. The IC695GCG001 module scans the connected Genius I/O devices, retrieves input data, and sends output data, then exchanges the I/O data with the Profinet I/O controller over Ethernet links. It can manage up to 31 Genius I/O devices on any particular Genius I/O bus. Additionally, it can operate as an I/O device, allowing it to be controlled by RX3i Profinet controllers.
