Product Description

The C1110BA Interface Card from Beckhoff provides a versatile solution for integrating EtherCAT networks within automation equipment and machinery. As part of their extensive C1 series, it supports seamless high-speed communication through a compact plug-in module. Operating on the widely compatible PCI Express x1 bus standard, the C1110BA allows for straightforward installation within industrial PCs. A single channel design streamlines configuration while still enabling rapid 100 Mbps data transfer to distributed I/O and devices. Dual RJ45 connectors on the front panel facilitate quick in and out cabling to EtherCAT networks over distances of up to 100 meters.

Reliable operation within industrial environments is ensured by the C1110BA's 0 to 55 degree Celsius operating temperature rating. Minimal space requirements of around 100 by 130 millimeters also simplify integration into control cabinet designs. Onboard diagnostics further improve maintenance convenience through activity and connection status indication on both channels.

Out-of-the-box usability is enhanced through full support by Beckhoff's TwinCAT driver package. This provides plug-and-play initialization along with extensive commissioning functionality. Applications can leverage parallel data processing capabilities through the card's multiple SYNC managers and memory buffers. Advanced distributed clock synchronization helps optimize motion control precision across the entire network. Combined with the C1110BA's proven hardware diagnostics, users benefit from increased visibility into system performance over time. Regularly scheduled maintenance routines can focus only on necessary components or cable inspections. The card also complies with relevant industrial certification standards to facilitate global deployments.
