Description

Integrating PC-based control systems directly with CANopen fieldbus networks, the Beckhoff FC5121 interface card provides a high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) connection for demanding industrial automation environments. This single-channel CANopen master/slave card enables seamless communication between industrial PCs and distributed I/O, drives, or other CANopen-compliant field devices. Operating within the TwinCAT software environment, the module supports both master and slave configurations, offering flexible integration into diverse control architectures without compromising processing speed.

Features

Single-channel CANopen interface designed for standard PCI Express x1 slots.
Supports adjustable data transfer rates ranging from 10 kbaud up to 1000 kbaud.
Galvanically decoupled 9-pin D-sub connection to protect host hardware from voltage spikes.
Integrated, switchable termination resistor for simplified network topology configuration.
Onboard hardware diagnostics via dual LED indicators per channel for rapid status monitoring.
Process image capacity of up to 4 kbytes total input and output data.

Applications

Industrial PC-based automation and control systems.
Distributed I/O and motion control integration in manufacturing lines.
Machine building and factory automation systems requiring CANopen connectivity.
Test benches and real-time simulation environments.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the Industrial PC is completely powered down and disconnected from the main power supply before inserting the card.
Insert the card firmly into a free PCI Express x1 (or higher) slot and secure the bracket to the PC chassis.
Configure the switchable termination resistor depending on the card's position in the CANopen network topology (enable if the card is at the physical end of the bus line).
Use shielded twisted-pair cabling compliant with CANopen standards to minimize electromagnetic interference.
Ground the cable shield at both ends where possible, or according to local electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) guidelines.

Compliance and Certifications
