The IC695PNC001 is a PROFINET controller module. Formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), the module is now manufactured by Emerson Automation. This PROFINET controller enables the RX3i CPU to send and receive data over a PROFINET network.

The IC695PNC001 is compatible with PACSystem RX320i CPU7 or CPU0 with firmware version 3.315 or higher.The module comes with two (2) RJ-45 and two (2) SFP slots with SFP connectors sold separately. Only one IP address is assigned to these PROFINET ports. Up to four (4) IC695PNC001s may be installed on a single CPU and must be located only on the host rack where the CPU is located. Up to sixty-four (64) I/O devices can be connected to one (1) controller; 128 I/O devices per network, distributed among eight (8) I/O controllers. In addition, up to eight (8) I/O devices can be installed in a single network. The module has configurable data update times of 1 ms, 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, 64 ms, 128 ms, 256 ms, and 512 ms IC695PNC001.

It occupies a single slot in the chassis and consumes 0.5 A without an SFP device installed and a maximum of 2.2 A with two (1) SFP devices installed, where the SFP device uses 0.35 A. At 5.5 VDC, the module consumes 1.5 A maximum.

In addition to the embedded dual PROFINET ports, the module is equipped with a micro USB connector for communicating with a computer using a command line interface. It must operate over a temperature range of 0-60 degrees Celsius.
