On November 24, Beckhoff followed the trend of technological progress and applied the most advanced technologies in a variety of control cabinet PCS and panel PCS to develop a large number of more compact and compact industrial PCS. To complement these PC series by adding useful interfaces without compromising their appearance, Beckhoff has developed a series of compact PCIe modules based on the PCI Express standard. With these modules, the Beckhoff C6515, C6525 and C6930 series control cabinet
On November 24, Beckhoff followed the trend of technological progress and applied the most advanced technologies in a variety of control cabinet PCS and panel PCS to develop a large number of more compact and compact industrial PCS. To complement these PC series by adding useful interfaces without compromising their appearance, Beckhoff has developed a series of compact PCIe modules based on the PCI Express standard. With these modules, the Beckhoff C6515, C6525 and C6930 series control cabinet PCS and the CP62xx series panel PCS can be further improved by adding interfaces such as Ethernet ports.
The Beckhoff PCIe module is based on the latest definition of highly integrated PCI Express cards and follows the PC miniaturization trend. Previous PC cards will be replaced by more compact devices. In contrast to PCI or PCIe cards, Beckhoff's PCIe modules are an industrial solution, ideal for industrial applications, and can be securely secured inside a PC via a pluggable connector carrier.
The Beckhoff CB3052 Series 3.5-inch motherboard can read up to four PCI Express channels and assign signals to PCIe module slots or standard card slots. Therefore, when designing a PC, it is possible to equip the PC with module slots and/or card slots. The PCIe module connects to the mainboard through a PCI Express channel with a data transfer rate of 2 Gigabit.
The first PCIe module developed by Beckhoff was the FC9062 module with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The module provides two more Ethernet ports for the Beckhoff CP62xx series panel PCS and the C6515, C6525 and C6930 series control cabinet PCS. These PCS will have up to seven Ethernet interfaces. Applications include automation solutions with EtherCAT or CP-Link 3 (for easy transfer of user interface over Ethernet to different panel PCS).
