The GE Fanuc Emerson IC694DNM200 serves as the primary DeviceNet communication gateway for the PACSystems RX3i and legacy Series 90-30 platforms. This module functions as a robust DeviceNet Master, coordinating bi-directional data exchange between the central PLC and up to 63 downstream slave devices. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New, ensuring factory-sealed reliability for critical infrastructure in automotive assembly, material handling, and packaging sectors. It effectively bridges the CPU with a vast array of CAN-based sensors, actuators, and motor starters.
The IC694DNM200 provides high-density I/O mapping and flexible baud rate selection for optimized network performance.

High-Node Density Management: A single IC694DNM200 module orchestrates communication for 63 slave devices. This high-density capacity reduces the required number of PLC modules, saving valuable cabinet space and lowering total system hardware costs.
Legacy and Modern Compatibility: The module bridges the gap between older Series 90-30 systems and modern PACSystems RX3i controllers. This makes it an ideal solution for facility upgrades where existing DeviceNet cabling and slave devices remain in place.
Simplified Diagnostic Detection: During power-up, the module automatically executes diagnostic address detection. Integrated LEDs on the front panel provide real-time status for the module and the network, allowing technicians to isolate cabling faults or node failures without connecting a laptop.
Optimized Data Throughput: Support for 500kbps baud rates enables the fast response times necessary for high-speed packaging and sorting applications. The module manages 255 bytes of I/O data per scan, ensuring the CPU receives a complete image of the field network.
Does the IC694DNM200 require external power for the network?
Yes. While the module draws 5VDC from the PLC backplane for its internal logic, the DeviceNet network itself requires a separate 24VDC power supply. This external power drives the communication transceivers in each connected slave node.
Can I use this module to replace a discontinued Series 90-30 DeviceNet card?
Yes. The IC694DNM200 maintains full compatibility with Series 90-30 backplanes, provided you use an RX3i CPU (Version 3.5 or later) or a compatible Series 90-30 processor. It serves as a direct functional upgrade.
How do I configure the baud rate for the network?
You set the communication rates (125k, 250k, or 500k) via the GE Logic Developer (PME) software. The module then automatically negotiates with the nodes during the network scan.
Is redundancy supported with the IC694DNM200?
No. This specific module does not support hot-standby redundancy. It is designed for standard, high-reliability DeviceNet master applications where a single master controls the designated node group.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
