Introduction

The GE IC698RMX016 Communication Module is a control memory xchange (CMX) module designed for PACSystems RX7i PLC platforms. It enables deterministic, real-time data sharing between multiple controllers and computing devices over a fiber-optic network. Using reflective memory technology, the IC698RMX016 ensures that any data written to one node is instantly replicated across all connected nodes, supporting highly synchronized control in distributed automation systems.

Designed for mission-critical industrial applications, the IC698RMX016 supports a high-speed 2.12 Gbaud fiber-optic network and is compatible with the VMIC 5565 reflective memory family. With support for up to 256 nodes and multimode fiber connections up to 300 meters, the module provides scalable, low-latency communication for complex control architectures. Its robust design, VMEbus interrupt capability, and configurable packet handling make it ideal for high-performance synchronization, simulation, and real-time control environments.
