Product Description:

The Beckhoff FC2002-0000 is a PCI-based Lightbus interface card from the FC Lightbus Card Series, engineered for efficient data communication in industrial automation systems. Featuring two fieldbus channels, the card enhances the capacity to handle multiple Lightbus networks, making it a versatile solution for complex industrial environments. It supports data transfer rates of 2.5 Mbaud and can process 32 bits of data in just 25 µs, ensuring high-speed, real-time communication that is critical for time-sensitive applications.

The FC2002-0000 is designed for both free-running and synchronized process data communication, giving it the flexibility to adapt to various industrial scenarios. It includes four standard fiber-optic connectors—two Z1000 connectors for plastic fiber and two Z1010 connectors for HCS fiber. This setup allows for fast, interference-resistant communication over long distances, which is essential in harsh industrial settings.

The card integrates seamlessly with Beckhoff’s TwinCAT software, supporting ADS (Automation Device Specification) for parameter and diagnostic interfacing. It also features hardware diagnostics, with 3 LEDs per channel providing real-time status monitoring of communication channels, ensuring quick identification and resolution of issues. With an operational temperature range of 0 to +55°C, the FC2002-0000 is built to perform reliably in typical industrial environments. Its dimensions (106 mm x 187 mm) make it compatible with standard PCI slots, while its support for cycle times as fast as 100 µs ensures responsiveness in time-critical tasks. Additionally, the card can initiate up to 2 PC hardware interrupts, further improving system performance and efficiency.
