Mitsubishi Electric Q80BD-J71GP21-SX CC-Link IE Network Interface Board

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

Technical Specifications

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.

Compliance and Certifications

• CE Mark (EMC Directive)
• UL / cUL Listed
• IEC 61131-2 (Industrial-grade vibration and shock immunity)
• JIS C 6802 (Laser safety Class 1)
