The Ethernet Interface Module, IC695ETM001, connects a
PACSystems RX3i controller to an Ethernet network. It enables
the RX3i controller to communicate with other PACSystems
equipment and with Series 90 and VersaMax controllers. The
Ethernet Interface provides Transmission Control Protocol and
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communications with other control
systems, host computers running the Host Communications
Toolkit or programmer software, and computers running the
TCP/IP version of the programming software. These
communications use the Service Request Transport Protocol
(SRTP), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocols
over a four-layer TCP/IP (Internet) stack.
Features of the RX3i Ethernet Interface include:
▪Full programming and configuration services. Firmware
upgrades from the RX3i CPU using the WinLoader
software utility, which is supplied with updates to the
Ethernet Interface software.
▪Periodic data exchange using Ethernet Global Data (EGD).
▪EGD Commands to read and write controller and EGD
exchange memory over the network.
▪TCP/IP communication services using SRTP.
▪Support for SRTP Channels, Modbus/TCP Server, and
Modbus/TCP Client
▪Built-in Station Manager for on-line supervisory access to
the Ethernet Interface. Dedicated Station Manager port.
▪Two auto-sensing 10Base T / 100Base TX RJ-45 shielded
twisted-pair Ethernet ports for direct connection to either
a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX IEEE 802.3 network without an external transceiver. There is only one interface to the
network (only one Ethernet MAC address and only one IP address).
▪Internal network switch with Auto negotiate, Sense, Speed, and crossover detection.
▪Recessed Ethernet Restart pushbutton permits manually restarting the Ethernet firmware without power cycling
the system.
▪LEDs: Ethernet OK, LAN OK, Log Empty, individual port activity and speed LEDs.
▪Configurable stand-alone Redundant IP addressing, which allows a single IP address to be assigned to
corresponding Ethernet modules in two different controllers. The Redundant IP address is configured in
addition to the normal unique IP address of each Ethernet module. Under application logic control, only the
Ethernet module in the active unit can use the Redundant IP address.
▪Time synchronization to SNTP Time Server on Ethernet network (when used with Release 5.00 or later CPU
module).

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.

6.30
Oct. 2014
Firmware version 6.30 Fixes the following issues:
•In very rare conditions closing Modbus or SRTP
session can result in a 3-5 blink code.
•With unicast SNTP the ETM could lose server lock
and then (1) never show any server as locked
again and (2) not attempt to switch to another
server. In v6.30, (1) Lock status can be restored
when a server becomes consistent and (2) SNTP
will attempt to switch to another server when the
current server becomes inconsistent.
•The ETM clock can drift away from the locked-on
server’s time at a several msec/day rate.
•Removed an extraneous log event. The
extraneous log event would occur (1) on battery-
backed power-up and (2) store of hardware
configuration, when the user configures the ETM
for SNTP, but does not configure the ETM for
daylight savings time correction.
IC695ETM001-FS 6.21 Aug. 2014 Replaces the module’s plastic housing with a metal case,

Restrictions and Open Issues
Restrictions and Open Issues
Subject Description
Number of SRTP requests
tallied may vary
When running multiple SRTP client channels, the number of requests, as
reported by the client and the server, may differ between the connections.
SRTP connections remain open
after IP address changed
The Ethernet Interface does not terminate all open SRTP connections
before changing its IP address. If the local IP address has changed, any
existing open TCP connections are unable to normally terminate. This can
leave SRTP connections open until their underlying TCP connections time
out. If quicker recovery of the SRTP connection is needed, modify the
“wkal_idle” Advanced User Parameter to reduce the TCP keep-alive timer
to the desired maximum time for holding open the broken connection.
Refer to TCP/IP Ethernet Communications for PACSystems, GFK-2224, for
details.
REPP does not save results of
aborted PING
The Station Manager REPP command does not retain the results of a PING
that is aborted due to error. Results are reported when the PING is
aborted, but subsequent REPP commands give the results of the last
successfully terminated PING.
Multiple log events The Ethernet Interface sometimes generates multiple exception log events
and Controller Fault Table entries when a single error condition occurs.
Under repetitive error conditions, the exception log and/or Controller Fault
Table can be completely filled with repetitive error messages.
Intermittent SNTP loss of
synchronization
Under moderately heavy EGD traffic load, the Ethernet Interface may
occasionally lose synchronization with its SNTP time server and generate
exception log event 29, entry 2=bH.

GFK-2332Y August 2017
Restrictions and Open Issues
Subject Description
SRTP communication delays
Average latency of communications on SRTP channels may vary
considerably due to TCP retransmissions. SRTP client applications should
be designed to take this variance into account. In particular, SRTP client
applications migrating from Series 90 SRTP servers to PACSystems may
need to lengthen SRTP timeout parameters.
Spurious ‘Ethernet Failure’
error
On rare occasions, the error “Module hardware fault” may be reported on
the Ethernet daughterboard. The corresponding fault in the exception log
is Event = 1, followed by text "Ethernet failure". This fault is a nuisance fault
and may be ignored.
Spurious Ethernet fault
In rare instances, after power cycle, the Ethernet Interface may log the
following fault, Event = 28H, Entry 2 = 000eH. This fault can be safely
ignored.
Unexpected EGD COMMREQ
status
EGD Commands may return COMMREQ Status 9590H (= internal error)
instead of the expected B190H (= Can’t locate remote node) when unable
to locate a remote device on the network.
Very heavy EGD production/
consumption at server may
cause EGD command timeouts
Very heavy EGD production and/or consumption at a server device may
cause EGD command timeout errors when another device attempts to
send EGD commands to that server. If EGD commands must preempt
normal production, you may set the “gcmd_pri” Advanced User Parameter
to 2 (see GFK-2224, Appendix A). Note that by doing so, EGD exchange
production may be delayed.
SRTP server errors can cause
timeouts at channel client
The SRTP Server in the PACSystems Ethernet Interface can encounter
various errors if a remote Series 90 client takes down an SRTP connection
and then establishes a new connection. This can cause unexpected
channel timeout errors 0190H or 0290H at the client. The SRTP server
errors in the Ethernet exception log are identified as Event = 2; Entry 2 may
be 001cH, or 0021H.
