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. The Ethernet Interface provides Transmission
Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
communications with other control systems, host
computers running the Host Communications Toolkit or
programmer software, and computers running the TCP/IP
version of the programming software. These
communications use the Service Request Transport
Protocol (SRTP), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data
(EGD) protocols over a four-layer TCP/IP (Internet) stack.
Features of the RX3i Ethernet Interface include:
▪
Full 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
▪
Built-in Station Manager for on-line supervisory access
to the Ethernet Interface. Dedicated Station Manager
port.
▪
Two auto-sensing 10Base T / 100Base TX RJ45 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet ports for direct connection to
either a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX IEEE 802.3 network without an external transceiver. There is only one
interface to the network (only one Ethernet MAC address and only one IP Address).
▪
Internal network switch with Auto negotiate, Sense, Speed, and crossover detection.
▪
Recessed Ethernet Restart pushbutton permits manually restarting the Ethernet firmware without
power cycling the system.
▪
LEDs: Ethernet OK, 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).
