FAQ

Q: What is GE's legacy in the industrial automation industry?

A: GE (General Electric), founded by Thomas Edison in 1889, was a global leader in PLC systems, including the famous Series 90-70, PACSystems RX3i/RXi, and VersaMax I/O platforms. While GE's industrial automation division was acquired by Emerson in 2019, these products remain widely used in factories worldwide .

Q: Does GE support hot-swapping of I/O modules?

A: Yes, most GE PACSystems and VersaMax I/O modules support hot insertion (hot-swapping) when used with compatible Network Interface Units. This allows module replacement without powering down the entire system. However, always verify your specific NIU configuration before performing hot-swap .

Q: What is the most common failure mode in GE PLC modules?

A: Power supply aging (capacitor failure) and communication faults (Ethernet/Profibus dropouts).

Q: What is GE's proprietary communication protocol for PLCs?

A:  GE developed SRTP (Service Request Transport Protocol) for Ethernet communication with PLCs, succeeding the serial SNP/SNPX protocols. It uses default port 18245 .
