Using GE PLCs with the RMC

The RMC75E and RMC150E can communicate with the GE FANUC RX3i, RX7i, and 90-30 PLCs via the Modbus/TCP Ethernet protocol. The RX3i requires the IC695ETM001 Ethernet module.

Example Programs

Delta offers a sample RX3i PLC program to help you quickly set up the communications between your PLC and the RMC. See the downloads section of Delta's website at https://deltamotion.com.

Using the GE Ethernet Communications

The GE Fanuc manual “TCP/IP Ethernet Communications for PACSystems”, number GFK-2224D, provides very good detail on how to use the IC695ETM001 Ethernet module. The RX3i must be used as a Modbus/TCP client, which is described in Chapter 8 of the manual. Use the example PLC program on Delta's website as a starting point for your application.
