Description
The
GE Fanuc IC695RMX128 is a high-performance redundancy memory exchange module designed for the RX3i PACSystems series, manufactured by Emerson Automation (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms). This module serves as a critical component in redundant controller configurations, enabling seamless data synchronization between primary and secondary CPUs. It supports a reflective memory network with up to 256 nodes, ensuring real-time data sharing via a 2.12 Gbaud single-mode fiber-optic network. The
IC695RMX128 features 128 MB of SDRAM for user memory, hot-swap capability, and network error detection, making it ideal for mission-critical applications requiring high availability.

IC695RMX128
- High Reliability: Built for redundant systems, the IC695RMX128 ensures continuous operation by mirroring data between primary and secondary controllers. Network error detection and dynamic packet sizing enhance stability.
- Fast Data Synchronization: 2.12 Gbaud fiber-optic transmission enables real-time updates across the network, reducing downtime in critical applications.
- Flexible Configuration: Supports both reflective memory topologies (256 nodes) and dedicated redundant CPU pairs. Hot-swap capability allows maintenance without system shutdown.
- Space-Efficient Design: Occupies a single slot in the RX3i rack, optimizing space in industrial control cabinets.
- Error Resilience: Network error detection and diagnostic features minimize data corruption risks.
Industries: Manufacturing, energy, water treatment, and process automation.
Scenarios: Redundant control systems, high-availability networks, and data-intensive applications requiring failover protection.
Case Study: A manufacturing plant in Germany integrated the IC695RMX128 into its production line’s redundant PLC system. The module enabled seamless data synchronization between primary and backup CPUs, reducing downtime by 95% during maintenance. The 128 MB memory and fiber-optic link supported real-time updates for 50+ machines, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Compared to similar redundancy modules, the IC695RMX128 offers:
- Larger Memory: 128 MB vs. typical 64 MB in 竞品,supporting more complex data sets.
- Higher Speed: 2.12 Gbaud fiber-optic transmission (vs. 1 Gbaud in some alternatives).
- Simplified Configuration: Software-based setup (no jumpers/dip switches), reducing installation errors.
- Longer Distance: 300 meters between redundant controllers (vs. 200 meters in comparable models).

IC695RMX128
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with RX3i systems and the IC695CMX128 partner module.
- Network Scale: Choose the IC695RMX128 for networks requiring >64 nodes (up to 256).
- Distance Requirements: Opt for this module if redundant controllers are spaced >200 meters apart.
- Budget: Balance memory capacity (128 MB) and speed (2.12 Gbaud) against project needs; suitable for medium-to-high complexity applications.
-
Redundancy Setup: Use paired IC695RMX128 modules (primary/secondary) in a 2-node ring configuration. Avoid mixing with other RMX modules in redundant designs.
-
Installation: Follow RX3i rack slot guidelines; ensure proper fiber-optic cable termination (LC connectors).
-
Power Requirements: Verify 3.3 VDC/5 VDC power supply stability to prevent module failures.
-
Maintenance: Regularly inspect fiber-optic connections for damage; schedule firmware updates via GE Fanuc programming software.
