GE General Electric IC695PBS301 PACSystems RX3i PROFIBUS Slave Module
A PROFIBUS DP slave interface for an RX3i Universal Backplane, with DP-V1 services and up to 244 bytes in each cyclic data direction.
Product Profile
GE General Electric IC695PBS301 is a pacsystems rx3i profibus slave module identified by the complete submitted ordering string. Its suffixes and revision fields remain part of the supply identity.
Selection of IC695PBS301 should be based on the installed label, host-system record and the verified interface details below; neighboring family numbers are not treated as interchangeable.
Technical Data
System Role
The module exchanges configured RX3i data with a PROFIBUS master while operating without bus-access control rights.
Cyclic input and output areas can each be configured up to the published 244-byte limit.
DP-V1 services extend the interface with acyclic Read, Write and Alarm functions.
Three front indicators separate module, network and PROFIBUS operating status.
Compatibility & Service
- Save the master configuration, station address, GSD selection and mapped byte counts before removal.
- Record the installed module revision, baud rate, cable termination and connector pin condition.
- Insert or remove only under the manufacturer-approved hot-swap and process-risk procedure.
- Verify cyclic I/O, DP-V1 services, diagnostics and host-machine behavior after exchange.
Applications
- Integration of an RX3i rack as a PROFIBUS DP slave station.
- Service replacement where the master configuration and matching GSD record are available.
- DP-V1 applications requiring approved acyclic access and alarm handling.
FAQ
Q01Which file should be checked before configuring IC695PBS301 on a PROFIBUS master?+
Use the manufacturer GSD applicable to IC695PBS301 and preserve the station address, module layout and mapped data lengths from the approved master project.
Q02Does IC695PBS301 act as a PROFIBUS master?+
No. IC695PBS301 is a DP slave and does not obtain bus-access control rights.
Q03How much cyclic data can IC695PBS301 exchange?+
The published limits are up to 244 bytes of input data and up to 244 bytes of output data, subject to the approved configuration.
Q04Can IC695PBS301 be replaced while the rack is operating?+
The module supports hot insertion and removal, but the site procedure must control process effects, master diagnostics and output-state consequences.
Q05What confirms a successful IC695PBS301 exchange?+
Check all three status indicators, station recognition, cyclic input/output maps, DP-V1 functions, diagnostics and the controlled process response.
