FC2001, FC2002 | Lightbus PCI interface card
The PCI Fieldbus Cards from Beckhoff are characterised by outstanding features. They are tailor-made for TwinCAT, the software solution for PC-compatible control technology. The power of TwinCAT comes into its own with this interface generation:
- Cycle times up to 100 µs are possible.
- Process data communication can either be free running, synchronised, synchronised with a delay, or equidistant.
- It is possible to select two parallel fieldbus channels on one card.
- powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
- The error management for each bus user is freely configurable.
TwinCAT I/O provides configuration tools and Windows NT/2000/XP drivers for programs in any desired high-level language (DLLs) and for Visual Basic applications (ActiveX). Applications with OPC interface can access the cards via an OPC server.
