GE Fanuc IC698ETM001 Ethernet Interface Module

Description

The GE Fanuc IC698ETM001 Ethernet Interface Module is a high-performance, industrial-grade communication component belonging to the GE IC698 series, designed specifically for industrial automation and embedded systems. It features a compact form factor measuring approximately 6.8 inches x 4.3 inches x 1.2 inches (17.3 cm x 10.9 cm x 3.0 cm) and weighs 0.34 kg, supporting flexible integration into control cabinets. Operating across a wide temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius, it delivers reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Equipped with two 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports and a serial configuration port, the module supports daisy-chaining to build linear, star, or ring network topologies. It provides 1500VAC electrical isolation to enhance system safety, and runs on a 5V DC power input. Key protocol support includes Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET IO, HSR/PRP, DNP3, and TCP/IP, enabling seamless data exchange with PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and other industrial devices for real-time communication and remote control.

Additional core features include status LED indicators for simplified troubleshooting, redundant design and self-diagnostic functions for stable, continuous operation, user-friendly configuration tools for easy installation and maintenance, and a modular design that allows flexible system expansion. It also offers Ethernet Global Data (EGD) and Reliable Data Service (RDS) for secure, efficient intermittent data exchange and command message transmission.
