This dual-width communication module is engineered to enable the remote deployment and automatic execution of standard PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30 I\/O modules across a distributed Ethernet network architecture. Once established via user configuration, data exchange operates completely automatically, allowing system control to be driven by any master device capable of handling Ethernet Global Data (EGD) transfers. The \u003cstrong\u003eIC695NIU001\u003c\/strong\u003e continuously delivers diagnostic status markers back to the primary controller during every single data exchange, allowing application logic to dynamically monitor link health and issue real-time commands to the remote chassis. It utilizes basic Ethernet modules (such as the IC695ETM001) mounted in an RX3i Universal Backplane to establish network pathways, supporting secure SRTP TCP\/IP communications and seamless integration with high-availability redundancy controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoordinates fully automatic, high-speed remote I\/O
