6 RX3i Ethernet Interface Module IC695ETM001-HV IPI
GFK-2332W February 2016
Important Product Information for this Release
This hardware release addresses a component obsolescence issue. There are no changes to form, fit, or function.
Updates
The IC695ETM001 is field upgradeable using the firmware upgrade utility. To upgrade an existing ETM001 to
firmware version 6.31, you will need the upgrade kit 44A753032-G18, which can be downloaded from
http://www.ge-ip.com/support.
The hardware cannot be upgraded in the field.

Subject Description
Hot Swap requires CPU
firmware 2.51
Do not remove or insert the IC695ETM001 while powered unless the CPU is
running firmware release 2.51 or higher. This firmware is available in upgrade kit
44A7522290-G01.
SRTP and EGD
performance differs
from Series 90*-30
SRTP and EGD performance in the RX3i differs slightly from the Series 90-30. Each
RX3i Ethernet Interface supports a greater number of SRTP connections and EGD
exchanges.
The RX3i currently has several SRTP and EGD operational restrictions compared
to the Series 90-30. When migrating Series 90-30 Ethernet applications to the
RX3i, please carefully read the
Ethernet Operational Notes
.
Series 90-30 LAN
Interface module
(IC693CMM321) not
supported by RX3i
The Series 90-30 LAN Interface Module (IC693CMM321) is not supported by the
RX3i and should not be placed in an RX3i rack. (Series 90-30 CPUs with
embedded LAN Interface, IC693CPU364 and IC693CPU374, like any Series 90-30
CPU, should not be placed in an RX3i rack.)
Modbus/TCP support Release 3.60 of the PACSystems Ethernet Interface adds Modbus/TCP Client
Channels capability. It supports Modbus Conformance Class 0 function codes 3
and 16, Conformance Class 1 function codes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and Conformance
Class 2 function codes 15, 22, 23, and 24. PACSystems Ethernet supports 32
client connections shared between all client protocols. For example, if 16 client
connections are used for SRTP channels, there are 16 client connections available
for Modbus/TCP channels. Any given channel can be assigned to only one
protocol at a time.
Programmer version

Run-mode Store of EGD exchanges.
Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer 5.7 or later must be used for Release
5.00 new features.
Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer 5.5 Service Pack 2 or later must be used
for Release 4.00 new features.
Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer 5.0 Service Pack 3 or later must be used

CIMPLICITY * Plant
Edition version
requirements
CIMPLICITY Plant Edition 6.1 Service Pack 1a with Update 040204_s90tcp_6101 or
Service Pack 2 or later must be used for Ethernet communications with
PACSystems.
New Features and Enhancements in This Release
An enhancement was made to prevent the module from becoming unresponsive and requiring a power cycle if it was
subjected to heavy network storm traffic. Reference: GE Security Advisory is GE15-09, titled
