Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Flash Compatibility
The IC695ETM001 handles complex TCP/IP network protocol execution using an onboard 200 MHz Ethernet processor. Offloading SRTP, Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD) transaction management from the primary controller maintains deterministic backplane bus communication velocity across the RX3i chassis. Onboard non-volatile memory and field-upgradable firmware structures ensure full firmware flash compatibility across PACSystems RX3i CPU revisions, permitting direct integration with compatible backplane units including IC695CHS007, IC695CHS012, and IC695CHS016.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the backplane firmware requirements for hot-swapping the IC695ETM001 module?
A: Module insertion and removal under power (hot-swap) require the system to run firmware revision 2.51 or higher.
Q: Is the IC695ETM001 compatible with all RX3i central processing units?
A: The IC695ETM001 interfaces with standard PACSystems RX3i modules across universal backplanes, with the exception of the CPE400 controller.
Q: What diagnostic functions are provided by the onboard Station Manager?
A: The Station Manager allows supervisory control, statistic monitoring, event log extraction, and parameter adjustments via either the RS-232 serial port or Ethernet channels.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Confirm that the target backplane is an IC695CHS007, CHS012, or CHS016 chassis prior to inserting the module.
- Align the IC695ETM001 module circuit board edge with the card guide rails of any available Universal Backplane slot.
- Pivot the module firmly into the slot until the backplane connectors seat completely and the top and bottom metal retention clips latch.
- Ground all Ethernet cable shielding through shielded RJ45 connectors to prevent noise coupling on 10/100 Mbps lines.
- Secure serial cables to the 9-pin female D-connector using terminal retaining screws to maintain connection integrity.
