Product Description:

The 5ACPCI.ETH3-01 is a B&R Automation PCI Ethernet interface card that provides three independent Ethernet ports for fast and reliable communication. The card is widely used in industrial automation systems for determining data exchange.

The 5ACPCI.ETH3-01 PCI Ethernet interface card has three Ethernet ports with independent Intel 82551ER controllers with support for 10/100 Mbit/s auto-sensing speed. They use a shielded RJ45 connector with S/STP Cat 5e or higher cabling support. The card supports 100 meters maximum supported cable per segment. The interface card supports full data diagnostics through onboard status LEDs per port. The green LED indicates if the link speed is 100 Mbit/s or 10 Mbit/s. The orange LED indicates link activity and status, with flashing to indicate data transfer. The voltage compatibility is facilitated by dual notch support for 5 V and 3.3 V PCI slots. The diagnostic system includes status LEDs for each connection, which facilitate quick identification of link conditions and throughput activity. The card allows easy network scaling via three unique ports that help to divide traffic or isolate network tasks.

The 5ACPCI.ETH3-01 interface card is compatible with both older and newer generations of systems due to its universal PCI form. Equipped with HazLoc approvals E115267 and E180196, this interface card satisfies CE, DNV GL, and cULus standards. The Pulse H1102NL transformers provide signal integrity, and this Ethernet interface card has four RJ45 LAN ports in addition to a PCI edge connector. A main bridge controller, Ethernet PHY chips, crystals, capacitors, resistors, inductors, and ferrite beads are all part of the system to provide a stable, high-speed data connection. Isolation between systems and multi-channel data transfer make it ideal for industrial automation.
