The IC695GCG001, also known as the RX3i GCG001 or Genius Communications Gateway, is a communications module manufactured by Emerson Automation Solutions (formerly GE Intelligent Platform or GE IP). It acts as a bridge between two industrial networking protocols:
Product: A high-speed industrial Ethernet network protocol commonly used for communication between programmable logic controllers (PLCS) and other devices in automation systems [1].
Simplex Genius Bus: Serial bus protocol used to communicate with GE Fanuc's Genius I/O module.
The following is a breakdown of the main functions and features of IC695GCG001:
Genius I/O Gateway: It connects and manages Genius I/O modules on the Simplex Genius bus, allowing them to exchange data with the PROFINET controller.
Data Exchange: This module facilitates the transmission of input and output signals between Genius I/O devices and the PROFINET network.
Hot swap: The IC695GCG001 can be removed and replaced while the system is running without interruption of operation.
Dual Ethernet ports: It features two RJ45 Ethernet ports for redundant network connections that enhance system reliability.
LED Status indicator: The module features LED lights that provide visual feedback on power, communication status, and potential failures.
Secure Digital (SD) card slot: Some models may include an SD card slot for data logging or backup purposes.
Typical applications:
The IC695GCG001 is commonly used in industrial automation environments where existing Genius I/O modules need to be integrated with the PROFINET network for control and monitoring. Here are some examples:
Factory Automation: Connected Genius I/O modules for discrete and process control applications in manufacturing facilities.
Oil and Gas industry: Integrated Genius I/O equipment for control and monitoring of oil and gas processing plants.
Power generation: Facilitates communication between Genius I/O modules and the PROFINET network at the power plant.
