The FC5251 Mini PCI Card brings fieldbus functionalities to the Industrial PC in a compact construction. The bus interface is not implemented on the fieldbus card, but separately in the respective housing (device-specific). Like the standard PCI cards, the Mini PCI variants are specifically optimised for fast controllers and real-time tasks:
The power of the Fieldbus Cards can be most easily seen in combination with the TwinCAT software PLC and NC. But other applications also benefit from the intelligent PCI cards that handle the fieldbus protocol efficiently on their own processors. The Fieldbus Cards are optionally available with 128 kbyte NOVRAM.
