Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between IC695ETM001-KAAA and IC695ETM001-EP?
The KAAA version typically represents a later hardware or firmware revision, but both models share the same core functionality. Check GE documentation for version-specific enhancements.
2. Can this module be used with SCADA software?
Yes, it supports Modbus TCP/IP, SRTP, and EGD, all commonly used with SCADA systems.
3. Are both Ethernet ports active simultaneously?
Yes, the ports operate via an internal switch, allowing device daisy-chaining or redundant network topologies.
4. How do I assign an IP address?
You can configure the IP via DIP switches, DHCP, or using GE Proficy Machine Edition (PME).
5. Does this module support secure communication?
It supports secure configuration options like IP filtering and password-protected access via PME or the web server.
6. What protocols are available for real-time control?
SRTP and EGD provide real-time control, while Modbus TCP/IP is ideal for device integration.
7. Can I use both ports for different subnetworks?
No, both ports share a single IP address and are intended for use on the same Ethernet segment.
8. Is firmware upgradable?
Yes, firmware updates can be performed via Ethernet using the Proficy suite.
9. What is the maximum cable length per port?
Standard Ethernet limits apply: 100 meters (328 feet) per CAT5/6 cable.
10. Is the module suitable for redundant control systems?
Yes, when used with RX3i’s redundant control architecture, it supports network redundancy features.
