Product Description

Beckhoff manufactures the C9900-H516. It is a Compact Flash Card designed for industrial applications, especially where robust data storage is crucial. This card, part of the C9 PC Accessory Series, offers a 4 GB storage capacity, which, while modest by today's standards, is often sufficient for embedded systems and industrial control applications where large multimedia files are not typically stored. The "Type I" form factor ensures compatibility with various industrial PCs and embedded systems. One of the critical features of the C9900-H516 is its extended temperature range. Industrial environments often experience extreme temperatures, and this card is engineered to operate reliably. The high-temperature stability ensures consistent performance and prevents data loss or corruption due to thermal stress, a common concern for electronic components. This stability is achieved by selecting robust materials and rigorous testing, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

The C9900-H516 also boasts enhanced shock and vibration resistance, which is crucial for applications in manufacturing or mobile settings where equipment may experience physical stress. These enhancements protect the card and its data from the damaging effects of mechanical shocks and vibrations, ensuring data integrity and operational continuity. This ruggedness is achieved through specialized design and construction that reinforces the card against external forces. Data integrity is further ensured by the "long-term data retention" capability of the C9900-H516. This is essential for industrial applications where data logging and historical records are vital for process monitoring and analysis. The card's design and the underlying flash memory technology ensure that data remains intact even when the power is removed for extended periods, guaranteeing the availability of critical information.

Compatibility is a crucial aspect of the C9900-H516. It is designed to be compatible with systems supporting Compact Flash, a widely adopted standard in industrial computing. This broad compatibility ensures easy integration with existing and new systems, simplifying installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the card adheres to "standard storage data security" protocols, providing a basic level of protection against unauthorized access and data breaches. The C9900-H516 operates with "standard for Compact Flash" power requirements, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial PCs and reducing the need for specialized power supplies. This standardization simplifies integration and reduces overall system complexity. The card's "environmental suitability" is emphasized, highlighting its design for harsh environments where dust, humidity, and electromagnetic interference may be present.
