The FC1121 PCIe (PCI Express) EtherCAT card can be used to integrate a PC as a slave in an EtherCAT network. The card has an EtherCAT channel with two ports (IN/OUT) and is also supported in the ET9300 EtherCAT Slave Stack Code. The FC1121 can therefore also be used for the development of EtherCAT slave software on the PC.
The FC1121 can optionally be retrofitted with the FC600x NOVRAM cards in order to backup data on the NOVRAM. Three NOVRAM sizes are available: 128, 256 and 512 KB.
