FC5121, FC5122 | PCIe CANopen

The FC512x PC plug-in cards link the PC (PCI Express) to a CANopen network. They optionally act as network master or slave. In addition, general CAN messages can be sent or received – without having to bother with CAN frames in the application program. The cards provide a powerful implementation of the protocol, offering many desirable features:

• All CANopen PDO communication types are supported: event driven, time driven (using an event timer), synchronous, polling.
• individual monitoring of the process data objects
• synchronisation with the PC controller’s task cycle
• SDO parameter communication at start-up and run-time
• emergency message handling
• Guarding and Heartbeat
• boot-up according to DS302
• powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
• The error management for each bus user is freely configurable.
• It is possible to read the bus configuration and the node parameters.
• online bus load display

In TwinCAT, all functions are conveniently available.

The PCIe fieldbus cards offer the possibility of optionally adding a NOVRAM card (FC600x). The fieldbus cards automatically recognise the connection of these memory cards, which can also be plugged into the card later. The FC600x cards offer simple data backup on the NOVRAM memory and are available from 128 to 512 KB.
