FC5121 | CANopen master/slave card, 1 channel, PCIe x1

The FC512x PC plug-in cards link the PC (PCI Express) to a CANopen network. They optionally act as network master or slave. In addition, general CAN messages can be sent or received – without having to bother with CAN frames in the application program. The cards provide a powerful implementation of the protocol, offering many desirable features:

• All CANopen PDO communication types are supported: event driven, time driven (using an event timer), synchronous, polling.
• individual monitoring of the process data objects
• synchronization with the PC controller’s task cycle
• SDO parameter communication at start-up and runtime
• emergency message handling
• Guarding and Heartbeat
• boot-up according to DS 302
• powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
• freely configurable error management for each bus user
• it is possible to read the bus configuration and the node parameters.
• online bus load display

In TwinCAT, all functions are conveniently available.
