Product Description:

The FC9011 Lightbus Card by Beckhoff functions with every Ethernet-based communication protocol and has a PCI interface for stable system integration in industrial automation. The RJ45 Ethernet socket functions as a single interface for hardware connection on its platform. The FC9011 card supports standard drivers that operate on several Windows operating system versions.

The FC9011 lightbus card supports three selectable data transmission rates of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit per second. The device enables users to match different Ethernet network requirements according to their needs. The FC9011 supports Ethernet networks with cables that reach 100 meters before signal deterioration occurs. This device supports Ethernet protocol standards, which include 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. The device enables operation with both 1000BASE-TX to supply gigabit Ethernet communications. The FC9011 lightbus card enables operations with TwinCAT real-time drivers. TwinCAT drivers work with EtherCAT as well as various other real-time Ethernet applications. Users can choose their specific real-time drivers for individual communication channels. Through their official website, the company supplies supplementary drivers for users. Each channel of this card provides diagnostic information through its built-in two LED indicators. Each connection displays its activity status as well as link condition through LEDs.

The FC9011 lightbus card includes a 32-bit Plug-and-Play interface function. The reliable functioning range of this card includes temperatures below and between 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. The device operates within a storage temperature interval between 25 to 85 degrees Celsius. The product maintains a small dimension of 18 millimeters by 45 millimeters by 120 millimeters. The compact design allows technicians to install it easily in PC systems. The card's weight measurement reaches 45 kilograms as established by its technical specifications. The card typically consumes 350 mA of power during its operation.
