Technical Overview
The GE IC695LRE001 is a Serial Bus Transmitter Module engineered for the PACSystems RX3i platform . This module bridges communications between an RX3i Universal Backplane and serial expansion or remote backplanes of the IC694 or IC693 series . It effectively translates the signal levels of the Universal Backplane to those required by Serial Expansion Backplanes, enabling system scalability . The module resides in the dedicated expansion connector at the right end of the 12- or 16-slot RX3i backplane . You must secure the GE IC695LRE001 using its captive screws, as it does not latch into the backplane .
This transmitter supports total expansion cable lengths up to 15 meters for expansion backplanes and up to 213 meters for remote backplanes . Two green LEDs on the module indicate operational status: the EXP OK LED lights when 5V backplane power is present, and the Expansion Active LED signals communication with expansion backplanes . The front connector serves as the attachment point for the expansion cable .

Key Features
System Expansion Capability – This module connects the RX3i Universal Backplane to serial expansion and remote backplanes, allowing system growth beyond the main rack.
Extended Cable Length Support – The module supports cable runs up to 213 meters for remote backplanes, enabling flexible system layouts across large facilities.
Non-Hot-Swap Design – You must remove power before installing or removing this module, as it does not support hot insertion .
Visual Status Indication – Two green LEDs (EXP OK and Expansion Active) provide immediate feedback on power status and communication health.
Station Manager Port – The integrated RS-232 DCE port enables configuration and diagnostics at baud rates from 1200 to 115200 bps.
Applications
The GE IC695LRE001 suits expansion applications for PACSystems RX3i controllers in manufacturing automation and process control. It is ideal for distributing I/O across multiple racks in large-scale industrial installations.
