Description

Integrating industrial PC-based systems into high-speed automation networks is streamlined using the Q80BD-J71GP21S-SX interface board, which facilitates seamless connection to a CC-Link IE Controller Network. This high-performance PCI/PCI-X compatible board provides gigabit-rate optical loop communication, delivering large-capacity deterministic data exchange across industrial plant architectures. Designed for physical placement within industrial computer chassis, it features dual-loop redundancy to protect against network partition during cable breaks or individual station power-downs.

Features

  • Supports gigabit transmission speeds of 1 Gbps via reliable optical fiber media.
  • Double-loop transmission path configuration guarantees network loopback functionality in the event of cable failures.
  • Designed for versatility with standard PCI or PCI-X half-size single-slot form factors.
  • Large cyclic data capacity handling up to 128 K points (LW) per network and up to 32 K points per station under extended mode.
  • Laser Class 1 compliant design following international standards (JIS C 6802 and IEC 60825-1).
  • External power supply input keeps the optical bypass circuitry alive when the host computer is turned off.

Applications

  • Centralized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
  • Automotive assembly line network synchronization.
  • Large-scale material handling and distribution systems.
  • High-speed industrial PC-to-PLC distributed communication.

Installation Guidelines

  • Always shut down the host industrial computer and completely isolate all external power sources before installing the interface card into the PCI/PCI-X slot.
  • Ensure strict static electricity protection measures are taken while handling the board to prevent ESD damage to delicate onboard micro-components.
  • Adhere to the minimum allowable bending radius specified for optical fiber cables to prevent signal attenuation or physical damage during connection.
  • Connect the auxiliary DC 24V external power supply directly to the card terminal block to ensure loopback routing functionality remains active when the PC is turned off.
  • Ensure the system is housed in an industrial control enclosure that meets Pollution Degree 2 or better guidelines.

FAQ

What type of slot interface does the Q80BD-J71GP21S-SX board require?

The board requires a single half-size PCI slot or PCI-X slot in the host computer.

Why does this interface board have an external power supply connection?

The external DC 24V power supply (DC 20.4 to 31.2 V) ensures that the network loopback and communication bypass circuitry remain functional even when the host PC is powered down.

What type of fiber optic cables and connectors are compatible?

It is compatible with multimode optical fiber (GI) cables matching 1000 BASE-SX standards, terminated with double LC-type connectors.

What is the maximum distance allowed between individual stations?

The maximum distance between adjacent stations is 550 meters, with a total maximum network length of 66,000 meters when all 120 stations are linked.
