GE Fanuc IC695PNC001-AK — PROFINET Controller for PACSystems RX3i

GE Fanuc · PACSystems RX3i · PROFINET IO Module · 90-Day Warranty

The IC695PNC001-AK is a PROFINET IO Controller / Device module for the GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i rack. It plugs into a standard RX3i backplane and provides a high-speed PROFINET interface to a PROFINET field network of distributed I/O, valve manifolds, drives, and third-party controllers. The -AK suffix designates a specific firmware revision/bundle; engineers standardizing on a single firmware line should verify the build number against their existing CPU before ordering.

The IC695PNC001 sits inside KOEED's nine-brand matrix of GE Fanuc / Emerson PACSystems stock and is positioned for European-style fieldbus rollouts where PROFINET is mandated on the machine or line. It is commonly cross-referenced against Siemens S7-1500 PN, Allen-Bradley CompactLogix ENET, and Schneider M580 BMENOC controllers.

Key Specifications

Datasheet Highlights

• PROFINET IO Controller and Device in one module. The IC695PNC001 supports both controller-side operation (mastering a PROFINET subnet of slaves) and device-side operation (advertising the RX3i as a PROFINET device to an external controller), giving system integrators flexibility when retrofitting RX3i into mixed-vendor cells.
• Standard RX3i backplane installation. Mounts in any IC695CHSxxx universal backplane slot adjacent to a supported RX3i CPU. Slot rules and backplane power budget must be checked against the rack's existing I/O population.
• PAC Machine Edition (PME) configuration. Programming, GSDML import, device naming, and IP assignment are all handled inside PME through the PROFINET plug-in. Existing RX3i projects can be re-targeted by adding the module to the hardware configuration.
• Firmware revision locked by the -AK suffix. The -AK bundle is a specific firmware build. When replacing a module in a running system, the firmware revision should match (or be made consistent with) the rest of the rack to avoid surprise behavior at startup. KOEED can confirm the build number on the unit we ship before invoicing.
• European-style fieldbus standard. PROFINET is the dominant industrial Ethernet protocol in European machine building. If your line ships to EU end-customers, integrating PROFINET into the RX3i master removes the need for vendor-specific gateways on the cell.

For exact port count, max device count, update time, conformance class, and IRT support, please request the IC695PNC001-AK datasheet from Moritta@KOEED.COM before commissioning.

Typical Applications

• European-spec machine builds. OEM machine builders shipping packaging, filling, labeling, and material handling machines into EU end-users where PROFINET is the customer-mandated fieldbus.
• PROFINET distributed I/O islands. Connecting Siemens ET200, Festo valve manifolds, Balluff IO-Link masters, and Phoenix Contact Axioline stations to a PACSystems RX3i master over a single PROFINET cable plant.
• Brownfield replacement of failed comm modules. Field service on RX3i racks that have an existing IC695ETM001 or IC695CMM002 and now need to migrate that traffic onto PROFINET as the surrounding plant standardizes.
• Process line retrofits. Water & wastewater, food & beverage, and chemical lines where the PLC backbone is RX3i but the field I/O has been progressively migrated to PROFINET blocks.
• Cell-to-cell PROFINET bridging. Two adjacent RX3i cells, each with an IC695PNC001, exchanging status and hand-shake tags through PROFINET device mode rather than hard-wiring I/O between racks.
• Auto-tier cross-vendor cells. A RX3i master coordinating a PROFINET sub-network that includes third-party controllers (Siemens ET200S, ABB AC500) acting as PROFINET devices to the RX3i master.

Warranty & Authenticity

Each IC695PNC001-AK is inspected, electrically tested on a PACSystems RX3i bench, and visually verified for label and revision consistency before it leaves the warehouse. We document the firmware build on the unit we ship and share it with you in the quote so you can match it to the rest of the rack before commissioning.

• 90-day warranty on the IC695PNC001-AK, starting at invoice date. Warranty terms cover DOA / out-of-box failure and early-life defects on a repair-or-replace basis.
• Worldwide shipping by DHL or FedEx, with tracking. Export documentation and commercial invoice are included for customs clearance.
• 24-hour quote turnaround on business days. Send the part number, quantity, project country, and required firmware build to Moritta@KOEED.COM and we come back with availability and a price on the same business day.
• Bulk pricing for system integrators — if you are rolling out multiple RX3i cells on a single project, send the full BOM and we will quote the whole list as one package.
• Hard-to-find and EOL support — PACSystems RX3i modules, including older PROFINET and Ethernet communication catalog numbers, are one of our stocking specialties.

KOEED is an independent multi-brand industrial automation distributor covering Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Schneider, Yaskawa, Panasonic, and KEYENCE — the same nine-brand matrix shown on our homepage. We are not an OEM subsidiary of GE Fanuc / Emerson; we are a sourcing channel that keeps active and legacy catalog numbers side by side so that RX3i users can keep their lines running without re-engineering the rack.
