The IC695BPM300 is a Profibus master module formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP) and now part of Emerson.

It is now part of Emerson Automation’s PACSystems RX3i family of programmable automation controllers (PACs).

The module is used to exchange data over a Profibus network with a maximum of 3.584 bytes of input data and 3.584 bytes of output data.

This Profibus master module supports communication with up to 125 DP slaves, each of which can send 244 bytes of input data and receive 244 bytes of output data.

This IC695BPM300 supports all standard data rates including 9.6 kBit/s, 19.2 kBit/s, 93.75 kBit/s, 187.5 kBit/s. The IC695BPM300 also supports the following data rates,

500 kBit/s, 1.5 MBit/s, 3 MBit/s, 6 MBit/s, and 12 MBit/s. It can provide status information

It can provide status information such as slave status bit array list, network diagnostic counters, DP master diagnostic counters, firmware module revisions, and slave diagnostic addresses.

It is mounted on the RX3i backplane and supports PCI connectivity. Specifically, it must be installed on a PAC3i backplane with a host PAC3i running firmware revision 3.2 or later.

or later in a generic backplane of a host PACSystem RX9i controller. It consumes a backplane current of 440 mA @ 3.3 VDC.

The module is equipped with a Profibus OK ED indicator; a network indicator; and a MOD status indicator.

The module supports synchronization and freeze modes as well as Profibus DP-V1 read, write and alarm messages.

The IC695BPM300 comes with upgradable firmware that is received indirectly through the host controller via the WinLoader software utility.

The module must operate over a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and the module is stored at -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.

The IC695PBM300 PROFIBUS master module is manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms/GE Fanuc in the RX3i PacSystems family.

The module is designed to enable the RX3i CPU to send or receive data over a PROFIBUS-DP network.
