The PCI Fieldbus Cards from Beckhoff are characterized by outstanding features. They are tailor-made for TwinCAT, the software solution for PC-compatible control technology. The power of TwinCAT comes into its own with this interface generation:
cycle times up to 100 µs possible
process data communication either free running or synchronized
selection of two parallel fieldbus channels on one card
powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces (ADS)
TwinCAT I/O provides configuration tools and drivers for different Windows versions for programs in any desired high-level language (DLLs) and for Visual Basic applications (ActiveX). Applications with OPC interface can access the cards via an OPC server.
