Key Features and Benefits
The GE IC695ACC302-AB excels in its multi-protocol support, seamlessly handling Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and GE’s proprietary SRTP. This versatility allows it to connect RX3i PLCs to a wide range of systems—from legacy SCADA platforms to modern cloud-based analytics tools—eliminating the need for multiple adapters and reducing control cabinet complexity.
High-speed data transfer, up to 1 Gbps, ensures low-latency communication, critical for time-sensitive applications like synchronized assembly lines or real-time process adjustments. The dual Ethernet ports enable redundant network configurations, a key advantage in mission-critical environments where downtime is costly. If one network fails, the GE IC695ACC302-AB automatically switches to the backup, maintaining uninterrupted data flow.
Built for industrial durability, the module withstands temperature fluctuations and electrical noise common in factory settings. Its integration with RX3i racks is seamless, requiring no specialized tools, and its diagnostic LEDs provide instant visibility into network health, simplifying troubleshooting. For operations seeking to modernize data exchange in RX3i systems, the GE IC695ACC302-AB balances flexibility, speed, and reliability.
Application Scenarios
The GE IC695ACC302-AB is widely used in industries leveraging RX3i PLCs for control and monitoring. In automotive manufacturing, it connects RX3i systems controlling robotic welding cells to plant-wide MES platforms, enabling real-time tracking of production metrics like cycle times and defect rates. This data integration allows managers to adjust schedules dynamically, optimizing throughput.
In water treatment facilities, the module links RX3i PLCs monitoring pump stations to SCADA systems, facilitating remote oversight of flow rates and chemical dosing. The GE IC695ACC302-AB’s redundant ports ensure continuous communication, critical for maintaining regulatory compliance and preventing service disruptions.
Food and beverage plants rely on the GE IC695ACC302-AB to connect RX3i controllers to quality management systems, transmitting data from temperature sensors and filling machines. This ensures batch records are automatically logged, simplifying audits and reducing manual data entry errors—key for meeting food safety standards.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation preparation for the GE IC695ACC302-AB requires verifying compatibility with the RX3i rack, ensuring firmware supports the module. The rack should be mounted in a control cabinet with ambient temperatures between 0°C and 60°C, with adequate ventilation. Proper grounding is essential—connect the rack’s earth terminal to facility ground using 12-gauge wire to minimize electrical noise. Network cables should be shielded and rated for industrial use, with lengths under 100 meters to maintain signal integrity.
For maintenance, inspect Ethernet connections quarterly for tightness and corrosion, cleaning terminals with a dry cloth if needed. Update firmware annually to ensure compatibility with new protocols. Monitor diagnostic LEDs for fault indicators, which may signal network issues resolvable by re-seating cables or checking switch configurations. Under normal use, the GE IC695ACC302-AB has a service life of 7-10 years.
