Mitsubishi Electric Q80BD-J71GP21S-SX CC-Link IE Controller Network Interface Board

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.
