Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF FC9004 is a multi-channel Ethernet interface card designed for industrial PC integration via the standard PCI bus architecture. It provides four independent 100BASE-T Ethernet channels equipped with standard RJ45 connectors, enabling reliable communication based on IEEE 802.3 protocols.

Engineered for demanding automation environments, the FC9004 supports both standard operating system drivers and specialized TwinCAT real-time drivers. This dual-driver capability allows each channel to be configured independently for standard networking tasks or high-performance real-time Ethernet and EtherCAT communication within Beckhoff control architectures.

Hardware diagnostics are integrated directly into the module through dedicated link and activity LEDs for every channel, facilitating rapid visual status verification during commissioning and maintenance operations.

Features

  • Four independent 100BASE-T Ethernet channels with RJ45 connectivity
  • Standard PCI bus interface for industrial PC integration
  • Data transfer rates of 10 and 100 Mbit/s
  • Support for standard network drivers across multiple Windows versions
  • TwinCAT real-time driver support configurable separately for each channel
  • Integrated hardware diagnostics featuring two LEDs per channel for link and activity status

Applications

  • Industrial PC communication and networking
  • Real-time Ethernet and EtherCAT system integration
  • Multi-port industrial automation control architectures
  • Data acquisition and device-level network routing
