Beckhoff PCIe® modules are highly integrated PCI Express® plug-in cards and follow the trend towards ever smaller PCs. The function of PC plug-in cards is integrated in a compact format that is suitable for harsh industrial environments.
The PCIe® modules for Beckhoff Industrial PCs allow the use of a PROFIBUS master without NOVRAM (FC3161-0000) or with 512 kB NOVRAM for easy data backup (FC3161-0002).
In TwinCAT, PROFIBUS and NOVRAM are available. Other applications also benefit from the diverse features: general PROFIBUS drivers for different Windows versions and convenient configuration tools are included in the TwinCAT I/O software package. High-level language programs use the DLL, Visual Basic applications the ActiveX interface. Applications with OPC interface can access process data and parameters via an OPC server.
