IC695PBM300
GE
Overview
The IC695PBM300 is a PROFIBUS Master Module in the RX3i range from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a profibus master module, the IC695PBM300 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (0 to 60 degrees Celsius); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. Verify field wiring, shielding and grounding at installation; check terminal torque and confirm signal types match the configured range. Periodically inspect for loose terminations, induced noise and channel-level diagnostics reported by the controller. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC695PBM300, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm the module matches your GE product portfolio rack, the required channel count, signal type and voltage, and the firmware/configuration of the controller. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.
