FC3121 | PROFIBUS master/slave card, 1 channel, PCIe® x1

PROFIBUS DP and DP-V1: the PROFIBUS PCIe® (PCI Express®) Fieldbus Cards from Beckhoff can master the following PROFIBUS features:

master, slave and PROFIBUS monitor up to 12 Mbit/s

powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces

the error management for each bus user is freely configurable

it is possible to read the bus configuration and automatically assign the GSE files
