Product Description
2.1.3 FC9062 PCIe Modul
Beckhoff PCIe modules are based on a new definition of highly integrated PCI Express plug-in cards and
follow the trend towards ever smaller PCs. The function of PC plug-in cards is integrated in a compact
format that is suitable for harsh industrial environments.
The 3½-inch motherboard CB3052 offers four PCI Express lanes to be distributed to the PCIe module
slots or standard plug-in card slots. The result are PCs with module slots and/or slots for plug-in cards. A
PCIe module is connected to the motherboard via one PCI Express lane with a data transfer rate of 2
Gigabit. A module can therefore provide two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, for example.
The FC9062 module complements the slide-in IPC C5210, the Panel PC CP62xx and the control cabinet
IPCs C6515, C6525 and C6930 with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. If two modules are used, these PCs have
a total of six Ethernet interfaces, while the PCI Express socket continues to be available for a seventh
Ethernet port or a fieldbus interface for PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet or SERCOS. If only one of the
two module slots is equipped with a PCIe module, the second slot is available for feeding motherboard
interfaces such as COM ports, USB or sound out of the PC. The connection for a Mini PCI card can also
be fed out through the module slots, even if the basic configuration of the PC, e.g. the C6515, does not
allow for Mini PCI fieldbus cards.
