GE IC698RMX016-ED Remote I/O master station module

Specific Parameters

Electrical Parameters

The communication interfaces are 2 1000Base-T Profinet IRT ports (RJ45), compliant with the EN 50170 standard, supporting full-duplex mode with a fixed data transmission rate of 1000Mbps; it can connect up to 32 remote I/O stations, supporting I/O points including 64K discrete inputs/outputs and 8K analog inputs/outputs, and enabling cyclic refresh and event-triggered transmission of I/O data; the redundancy mechanism supports Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), with a fault switching time ≤50ms to ensure uninterrupted data transmission when the remote link is interrupted; it is powered via the RX7i rack backplane, with an input voltage of +5V DC, a typical power consumption of 6W, and a maximum power consumption of 8W; it has built-in functions for remote station presence detection, message loss alarm, and port link detection, and diagnostic information is uploaded to the CPU module via the backplane bus to support remote station fault location.

Mechanical Parameters

The overall dimensions are 101.6mm (L) × 165.1mm (W) × 50.8mm (H), fully compliant with the mechanical specifications of RX7i series modules; the housing is made of flame-retardant engineering plastic (UL94 V-0 grade) with anti-static coating on the surface, and heat dissipation grooves integrated on the side to improve natural heat dissipation efficiency; the weight is approximately 0.5kg, adapting to the load design of the RX7i rack; the mounting method is installation in the dedicated communication slot of the RX7i rack, requiring at least 1 slot spacing from the CPU module and supporting hot swapping; the wiring method involves connecting the Ethernet ports to remote I/O stations via CAT6 cables, with no additional terminal wiring required, and supporting dual-cable deployment for redundant links.

Environmental Parameters

The operating temperature range is -25℃ to +70℃ (non-condensing environment), compliant with the IEC 60068-2-1/2 standard, enabling long-term operation in alpine and high-temperature industrial scenarios; the storage temperature range is -40℃ to +85℃, meeting transportation and storage environment requirements; the relative humidity is 5% to 95% (non-condensing), compliant with the IEC 60068-2-3 standard, tolerating humid environments; the protection rating is IP20 (module itself), relying on the overall protection of the RX7i rack; the EMC compliance meets EN 55022 Class A (emission limits) and EN 55024 (immunity) standards, with common-mode interference immunity ≥120dB; the vibration resistance is 10-500Hz frequency range, 0.5g acceleration (sine wave), with 30 minutes of continuous testing per axis, adapting to the vibration environment of operating equipment.

Product Performance

Strong remote expansion capability: It can connect up to 32 remote I/O stations, 64K discrete I/O, and 8K analog I/O, supporting distributed arrangement (maximum communication distance of 100m, extendable to 2km via optical fiber), adapting to distributed control scenarios such as large factories and long-distance pipelines, and reducing on-site wiring costs.

Outstanding real-time performance: The Profinet IRT protocol supports an I/O data refresh cycle of ≤1ms with a jitter error <100μs, meeting the strict requirements for I/O response speed in high-speed production lines and precision motion control, and avoiding production deviations caused by control lag.

High redundancy reliability: It supports MRP/PRP dual redundant links with a fault switching time ≤50ms; in case of a remote station fault, it can quickly switch to the backup link, and the I/O data transmission interruption time is <1 refresh cycle, ensuring no interruption of critical control processes.

Excellent compatibility: It can connect to all types of remote I/O modules in the RX7i series (e.g., discrete module IC698RTD320, analog module IC698AIV160) and supports third-party remote devices compliant with the Profinet IRT standard, simplifying multi-vendor system integration.

Convenient diagnosis and maintenance: It real-time monitors the presence status of remote stations, link on/off, and message loss rate; fault information can be displayed intuitively via HMI, supporting remote restart of faulty stations without on-site inspection, improving maintenance efficiency by 70%.
