FC2002 | Lightbus master card, 2 channels, PCI

The PCI Fieldbus Cards from Beckhoff are characterized by outstanding features. They are tailor-made for TwinCAT, the software solution for PC-compatible control technology. The power of TwinCAT comes into its own with this interface generation:

+Cycle times up to 100 µs possible

+Process data communication either free running or synchronized

+Selection of two parallel fieldbus channels on one card

+Powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces (ADS)

TwinCAT I/O provides configuration tools and drivers for different Windows versions for programs in any desired high-level language (DLLs) and for Visual Basic applications (ActiveX). Applications with OPC interface can access the cards via an OPC server.
