GE IC695PNC001

• Isolation: Optical isolation between backplane and Profibus network
• Connectors: 9-pin Sub-D (D-sub) female (RS-485 physical layer)
• Status Indicators:
  • RUN (green)
  • ERROR (red)
  • DP (yellow, Profibus activity)
  • BF (red, bus fault)
• Power Supply: 5V DC from backplane
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C
• Humidity Range: 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
• Mounting: DIN rail or chassis-mounted in IC695 rack

Key Features

• Enables VersaMax PLC to operate as a Profibus-DP slave in industrial networks
• Supports standard Profibus-DP services for cyclic data exchange with a master
• Auto-baud rate detection simplifies network integration and configuration
• High data throughput supports up to 244 bytes of input and output data per cycle
• Optical isolation ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy environments
• Rotary switch for easy station address setting without software tools
• Compatible with standard Profibus cabling and termination practices
• LED indicators provide real-time status monitoring for network and module health
• Designed for stable, deterministic communication in process and discrete manufacturing

Application Areas

• Industrial automation systems using Profibus-DP as the fieldbus network
• Integration of VersaMax PLCs into larger control systems with Siemens or other Profibus masters
• Manufacturing plants with distributed I/O requirements over long distances
• Process industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and power generation
• Material handling, packaging, and assembly lines using Profibus infrastructure
• Retrofit projects where legacy Profibus networks are in place
• Applications requiring high-speed, deterministic communication between controllers and field devices
