Description
Designed for integration into industrial personal computer systems, the Q80BD-J71GP21-SX serves as a high-speed CC-Link IE Controller Network Interface Board. This module enables direct, high-capacity communication between PC-based controllers and industrial automation networks using a redundant double-loop optical fiber topology. By utilizing a 1 Gbps transmission speed, the board facilitates real-time deterministic data exchanges (cyclic transmission) and transient message transfers, making it suitable for distributed control and supervisory applications.
The hardware is configured for installation within a single standard PCI or PCI-X half-size expansion slot. Up to four of these interface boards can be installed in a single host PC, allowing multi-network gateway configurations. The integrated fiber-optic transceiver complies with Class 1 laser safety standards, utilizing dual LC-type connectors for secure fiber termination.
Features
- Redundant double-loop network topology provides loopback capabilities to maintain communication in the event of a cable break.
- High-speed 1 Gbps transmission rate utilizing multimode optical fiber (GI) cabling.
- Token ring media access control ensures highly deterministic transmission cycles.
- Supports up to 120 connected stations on a single network segment.
- Installs in standard half-size PCI or PCI-X system slots.
Applications
- Automotive assembly line network coordination
- Distributed DCS-to-PC visualization systems
- High-capacity SCADA data acquisition networks
- Semiconductor fabrication line control

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the host computer is completely powered down and unplugged before inserting the interface board into the PCI/PCI-X slot.
- Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap grounded to the PC chassis during installation to prevent static damage to the onboard components.
- Ensure the optical fiber connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Use protective caps on unused optical ports.
- Route fiber-optic cables with a bend radius that complies with the cable manufacturer's specifications to prevent signal attenuation or physical damage.
