Beckhoff FC5121 | CANopen master/slave card, 1 channel, PCIe® x1

FC5121 | CANopen master/slave card, 1 channel, PCIe® x1

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

synchronization with the PC controller’s task cycle

SDO parameter communication at start-up and runtime

emergency message handling

Guarding and Heartbeat

boot-up according to DS 302

powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces

freely configurable error management for each bus user

it is possible to read the bus configuration and the node parameters.
