GE IC695PBM300LT PROFIBUS DP Master Module – PACSystems RX3i Series
When a PROFIBUS DP master module fails on the plant floor, the consequences are immediate and severe: entire device networks go silent, field instruments lose communication, and production lines halt without warning. Operators are left blind to process variables, and maintenance teams face mounting pressure to restore connectivity before costly downtime spirals further. The GE IC695PBM300LT is the precision-engineered solution that keeps your PROFIBUS network alive — a module whose absence is felt the moment it stops working.
The IC695PBM300LT occupies a critical position within GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform — the industry-standard universal backplane controller architecture trusted by process and discrete manufacturers worldwide. As a Class 1 PROFIBUS DP Master, it supports up to 125 slave devices with a maximum of 244 bytes of input and 244 bytes of output data per slave, making it one of the most capable PROFIBUS master modules in the RX3i ecosystem. Its LT (Lead-free / RoHS-compliant) designation reflects GE’s commitment to global environmental standards, ensuring compatibility with modern procurement and compliance requirements across European, North American, and Asia-Pacific markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between IC695PBM300 and IC695PBM300LT?
A: The LT suffix denotes a lead-free (RoHS-compliant) version of the module. Functionally, both are identical Class 1 PROFIBUS DP Masters for the RX3i platform. The LT variant is required for projects subject to EU RoHS Directive or similar environmental regulations.
Q: Can the IC695PBM300LT be used as a PROFIBUS DP Class 2 master?
A: The IC695PBM300LT is a Class 1 (DPM1) master. Class 2 (DPM2) acyclic communication functions are not supported by this module. For Class 2 requirements, consult GE’s documentation for alternative solutions.
Q: How many IC695PBM300LT modules can be installed in one RX3i system?
A: Multiple modules can be installed in the same backplane, subject to backplane slot availability and CPU resource limits. Consult the PACSystems RX3i System Manual (GFK-2314) for multi-module configuration guidelines.
Q: Is this module compatible with Proficy Machine Edition (PME)?
A: Yes. The IC695PBM300LT is fully configured via PME using GSD files for slave device definition. PME version 8.0 or later is recommended.
Q: Do you supply new, refurbished, or surplus units?
A: Konmask.com supplies both new (factory-sealed) and tested surplus units. All units are clearly labeled by condition in the quotation. We do not sell untested or unverified stock.
