Product Description

The Beckhoff C9900-H551 is a storage solution designed specifically for the demanding environments often encountered in industrial automation. At its core, this compact device is an 8 GB CFast card, a standard form factor known for its reliable performance and compatibility. The choice of 8 GB provides a balance of storage capacity and cost-effectiveness, suitable for a range of industrial applications where large amounts of data may not be required, but operational reliability is paramount. One of the key features of the C9900-H551 is its utilization of SLC (Single-Level Cell) flash memory. Unlike MLC (Multi-Level Cell) flash, which stores multiple bits per cell, SLC stores only one bit per cell. This fundamental difference results in significantly increased durability and longevity. SLC flash offers faster write speeds, higher endurance (meaning it can withstand more write cycles before failure), and improved data retention capabilities, all crucial factors in industrial settings where consistent and reliable operation is essential.

Furthermore, the C9900-H551 is engineered to operate within an extended temperature range. Industrial environments can experience significant temperature fluctuations, from hot factory floors to cold outdoor installations. This extended temperature range ensures the C9900-H551 can reliably store and retrieve data without performance degradation or risk of failure, contributing to the overall stability and uptime of the industrial PC system. To withstand the physical stresses common in industrial settings, the C9900-H551 adheres to industry-standard shock and vibration resistance. This robustness is vital to prevent data loss or device malfunction due to accidental impacts, continuous vibrations from machinery, or transportation.

The card's construction and internal components are designed to withstand these forces, maintaining data integrity and ensuring uninterrupted operation even in challenging conditions. The C9900-H551 is designed with compatibility in mind. It interfaces seamlessly with industrial PCs, providing a reliable storage solution for operating systems, application software, and critical data. While the card itself has a fixed storage capacity, its ability to support multiple devices, depending on the system configuration, enhances its versatility. This allows for flexible system design and expansion, accommodating various peripherals and functionalities as needed.
