It provides four independent 100BASE-T Ethernet channels equipped with standard RJ45 connectors, enabling reliable communication based on IEEE 802.3 protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour independent 100BASE-T Ethernet channels
