Product Description:
The Beckhoff FC3101-0000 is a versatile Lightbus card from the FC Lightbus Card Series, tailored for use in PROFIBUS DP fieldbus systems. This PCI interface card supports a range of PROFIBUS standards, including PROFIBUS DP (standard), PROFIBUS DP-V1 (which includes acyclic services and alarms), DP-V2, and PROFIBUS MC (equidistant), providing extensive flexibility for a variety of industrial automation environments.
As a 1-channel PROFIBUS master/slave card, the FC3101-0000 operates at data transfer rates from 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud, ensuring robust and adaptable communication for different setups. The card connects via a galvanically decoupled 9-pin D-sub socket, providing stable and interference-free communication, essential for maintaining system integrity in demanding industrial settings. Expanded diagnostics are available, with 2 LEDs per channel, offering real-time feedback on the communication status, simplifying system monitoring and troubleshooting. While the FC3101-0000 is a robust option for legacy systems, Beckhoff recommends considering modern alternatives, such as the EL6720, for expanded functionality and enhanced diagnostic capabilities in newer installations.
The card can handle up to 3 kbytes of input and output data per channel within the process image, making it suitable for large-scale and complex data exchanges in automation tasks. It operates in a temperature range of 0 to +55°C, making it appropriate for typical industrial environments. With dimensions of 106 mm x 175 mm, the FC3101-0000 fits easily into standard PCI slots, allowing for seamless integration into both new and existing systems. The FC3101-0000 is optimized for precise control, with cycle times starting from 200 µs, and supports different polling rates for PROFIBUS slaves, ensuring efficient performance in time-sensitive applications. It is UL approved, meeting international safety and performance standards, making it a reliable solution for integrating PROFIBUS DP networks into automation systems.
