IC695GCG001 communication gateway belongs to the RX3i Genius and is manufactured by GE Fanuc. The IC695GCG001 module has a Simplex Genius serial bus that can be used for interfacing Genius I/O devices with an I/O controller by PROFINET. The module can act as a Genius bus controller in a Genius network. The communication gateway IC695GCG001 provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports that allow users to connect the module to the GE PROFINET controller. Each port operates independently through an Ethernet switch embedded in the module. It comes with four indicator LEDs that display the status of the module and the operations. The four LEDs are “POWER”, “OK”, “FAULT”, and “CONNECT”. It also includes two additional indicator LEDs for displaying the status of the Genius Bus and these LEDs are “COM” and “BUS B” LEDs.
IC695GCG001 communication gateway can scan the I/O devices that are connected to the serial bus while the module exchanges the data retrieved from the PROFINET I/O controller, connected through the Ethernet ports. It can also be used to manage the I/O status of the configured modules, even when the communication is interrupted between these devices. IC695GCG001 can handle as many as 31 Genius modules on a single serial bus. This communication gateway module also has six Genius serial terminal bus connectors. It requires a user-supplied power source of 24 Volts. It requires a maximum current of 0.2 Amperes. A screw terminal block at the bottom of the module is used for connecting the power supply. An SD card slot is provided with the module that supports a non-volatile memory card for storage purposes.

An Emerson - GE Fanuc product, the IC695GCG001 is an RX3i Genius communication gateway module and it belongs to the family of RX3i PacSystem modules. It is designed to provide connections to all kinds of legacy systems, including the RX3i Genius bus system. The gateway module allows for the use of legacy systems and RX3i Genius bus with modern control systems without the need to decommission them. The IC695GCG001 includes a total of 4 communication interfaces, of which two (2) of them are the PROFINET supported RJ45 communication interfaces, while the remaining two (2) are RX3i Genius communication interfaces. Between the connected RX3i Genius modules and the PROFINET network is a connection that is created virtually via bridges through the PROFINET interface. Therefore, between the two (2) protocols, the module provides the gateway. It also provides support for 31 RX3i Genius devices or blocks, as well as permitting Input/Output data of 2048 bytes, of which 1024 bytes are for Input data, while the remaining 1024 bytes are for output data. The module has a speed of 153.6 kilobits per second, which are standard RX3i Genius Bus and extended RX3i Genius Bus speeds 

The IC695GCG001 supports the following protocols: RTC, RTA, DCP, CL-RPC, LLDP, MRP, and SNMP. It also has support for subset protocols, which include ARP, ICMP (Ping), IP, and UDP. Also, this module has the support of priority tagging and VLAN. Other than that, the IC695GCG001 features configurable production or I/O update rates.  At 24 volts direct current (DC), the rated maximum current draw of this device is 0.19 amperes. The suitable temperature range for this device's operation is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius.
