Adds peripheral Ethernet communication to an RX3i rack.
Product Identification
IC695ETM001 is a PACSystems RX3i Ethernet interface module used as a peripheral Ethernet connection in the RX3i platform.
The module provides two network ports for one or two 10Base-T/100Base-TX CAT5 Ethernet connections and uses one IP address across the two ports.
The manufacturer distinguishes Kxxx executions for gigabit capability; the unsuffixed IC695ETM001 identity is therefore retained without claiming that feature.
Engineering Data

|---|---|
| Exact catalog identity | IC695ETM001 |
| Module type | Peripheral Ethernet interface module |
| Network ports | 2 |
| Standard Ethernet rates | 10Base-T / 100Base-TX |
| Cabling | CAT5 twisted pair; shielded or unshielded as permitted by the installation |
| IP addressing | One IP address shared by the two ports |
| Network topology caution | Use tree topology; do not create a ring with the two ports |

Functions
Provides two physical network ports under one configured IP identity.
Supports controller communication services defined in the RX3i project.
Reports module and network diagnostics to support commissioning and maintenance.
Applications
- Use in an approved RX3i rack and firmware combination.
- Connect switches and devices in a tree topology rather than forming a loop between the two ports.
- Preserve IP address, subnet, gateway and application communication settings from the running system.
- Keep unsuffixed IC695ETM001 separate from LBAA and Kxxx revision identities unless equivalence is documented.
Lifecycle
- Archive the PAC Machine Edition project and network addressing before replacement.
- Label both network cables and record their switch ports and roles.
- Inspect connectors and verify link negotiation after installing the exact module identity.
- Confirm controller traffic, diagnostics and recovery behavior before restoring automatic operation.

FAQ
Q01
Can the two IC695ETM001 ports use different IP addresses?
No. The manufacturer states that the Ethernet-enabled device uses one IP address across its two ports.
Q02
Why should the two ports not be connected as a ring?
A ring can duplicate packets and overload the network because this interface is intended for a tree topology.
Q03
What should be included with an IC695ETM001 enquiry?
Provide the complete module label, rack and CPU identities, firmware, project backup, IP plan and photographs of both network connections.
Q04
Can an IC695ETM001-LBAA be treated as the same identity?
Not automatically. Preserve the LBAA suffix and confirm firmware and hardware compatibility before substitution.
Q05
What tests should follow replacement?
Verify both links, IP reachability, controller communications, configured data exchange, diagnostics and recovery from a controlled link interruption.
