The FC520x PC plug-in cards link the PC to a DeviceNet® network. They can act there as master or as slave modules. The PCI™ bus interface ensures both high transmission rates to the PC and fully automatic configuration of the cards in the PC hardware. The DeviceNet® cards provide a powerful implementation of the protocol, offering many desirable features:
- All DeviceNet® I/O modes are supported: polling, change of state, cyclic, strobed.
- unconnected message manager (UCMM)
- Device Heartbeat Messages, Device Shutdown Messages
- Optionally two DeviceNet® channels in parallel on one card are possible.
- powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
- The error management for each bus user is freely configurable.
- It is possible to read the bus configuration and automatically assign the “eds” files.
In TwinCAT, all functions are conveniently available. High-level language programs use the DLL, Visual Basic applications the ActiveX interface. OPC applications can access process data and parameters via an OPC server.
