Manufactured by Emerson Automation (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms), this module provides seamless data exchange over Ethernet. It features dual RS-232\/RS-485 ports, 10 MB flash memory, and upgradeable firmware. For industries upgrading from older systems, the IC695NIU001 offers a cost-effective path to modernize without discarding existing I\/O investments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow are the essential technical parameters of the GE IC695NIU001, derived directly from the product's datasheet:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommunication Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two ports configurable for RS-232 and RS-485\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Protocols Supported:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modbus RTU Slave, SNP, Serial I\/O, Modbus RTU Master (via application 'C' block)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Memory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 MB flash for user data and firmware storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e +3.3 VDC at 1.25 A nominal, +5 VDC at 1.0 A nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackplane Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual – RX3i PCI and 90-30 serial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithium Smart Battery (IC695ACC302 recommended) or alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Local Logic:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 KB capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIndustry Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IC695NIU001 is ideal for upgrading manufacturing lines where older Series 90-30 I\/O racks must interoperate with modern RX3i controllers. For example, in automotive assembly plants, this module allows legacy sensor arrays to communicate with newer PLCs without re-cabling. In water treatment facilities, the IC695NIU001 enables remote I\/O over Ethernet, reducing wiring costs. Similarly, in packaging systems, it supports high-speed data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module integrates with the RX3i universal backplane and requires a power supply and an Ethernet interface module (IC695ETM001). It supports PCI 2.2 compliance and works with Machine Edition Logic Developer software v5.51+. The IC695NIU001 communicates via SRTP for TCP\/IP services and uses EGD for deterministic data exchange. It also supports redundant controller configurations, enhancing system reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance \u0026amp; Reliability\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IC695NIU001 includes a battery-backed real-time clock; replace the lithium smart battery every 5 years under normal conditions. Keep the module’s firmware updated using the in-system upgrade feature to ensure compatibility and security. Operate within the specified temperature range to avoid thermal stress. Periodic inspection of the RS-232\/RS-485 ports for corrosion or damage is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide \u0026amp; Purchasing Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore purchasing the GE IC695NIU001, verify your backplane type (RX3i PCI or 90-30 serial). Ensure you have the necessary power supply and Ethernet interface module. For complete assembly, consider NIU kits IC695NTK001 or IC695NTK002.
