2 Product Overview
2.1 Beckhoff FC520x: Technical Documentation
The FC5201 and FC5202 PC plug-in cards link the PC to a DeviceNet network. They can act as master
or as slave modules. The PCI bus interface ensures both high transmission rates to the PC and fully
automatic configuration of the cards in the PC hardware. The DeviceNet cards provide a powerful imple-
mentation of the protocol, offering many desirable features:
•
One (FC5201) or two (FC5202) DeviceNet channels, each with its own processor, memory, etc.
•
All DeviceNet I/O modes are supported: polling, change of state, cyclic, strobed
•
Optionally two DeviceNet channels in parallel on one card are possible
•
Powerful parameter and diagnostics interface
•
The error management for each bus user is freely configurable
•
It is possible to read the bus configuration and automatically assign the "eds" files
•
Integrated bus loading display
•
CAN interfaces are electrically isolated
