Product Description:

The Beckhoff FC5101-0000 is a high-performance CANopen Lightbus card from the FC Lightbus Card Series, designed for PC communication via a PCI interface. This card supports CANopen fieldbus networks and offers a broad range of data transfer rates, from 10 kbaud to 1000 kbaud, making it highly versatile and suitable for various industrial automation applications. Equipped with a single-channel and a 9-pin D-sub connector that complies with CANopen specifications, the card ensures galvanically decoupled communication, providing stable and interference-free data exchange. It also features a switchable termination resistor, allowing for flexible network setup and configuration. Hardware diagnostics are supported via 2 LEDs per channel, providing real-time communication status feedback for easier monitoring and troubleshooting.

The FC5101-0000 is capable of handling 3 kbytes of input and output data per channel in the process image, making it ideal for managing large data exchanges. It operates in a temperature range of 0 to +55°C, making it suitable for standard industrial environments. With dimensions of 106 mm x 175 mm, it fits into standard PCI slots, allowing for straightforward integration into existing PC-based systems. This card supports a wide variety of CANopen PDO communication types, including event-driven, time-driven, synchronous, and polling modes, offering the flexibility needed for different system architectures. It also enables individual monitoring of process data objects, simplifying network data management and error diagnosis. Additional features include SDO communication, emergency message handling, guarding and heartbeat, and bus monitoring functionality, providing robust error management and diagnostics.

With synchronization options that support zero cumulative jitter, the FC5101-0000 is ideal for time-sensitive applications such as drive synchronization. It integrates seamlessly with TwinCAT I/O for configuration and control, making it a powerful solution for automation systems utilizing CANopen networks.
