PCIE-1203L Basic 64-Axis EtherCAT PCIE Master Card

The PCIE-1203L is a 2-port EtherCAT PCI Express Card. It is a ready-to-use EtherCAT development platform for all PC-based industrial automation. The EtherCAT protocol stack is executed autonomously on the card. It allows the host to handle up to two EtherCAT networks with extremely short cycle time for Motion and pure I/O applictions. For EtherCAT motion port, communication cycle time is up to 250us and for fast I/O ports the cycle time is no more than 200us in a high speed I/O system. Real-time and high-precision capability are features of PCIE-1203. In addition, all Advantech motion controllers use the “Common Motion API” architecture which is a unified user programming interface and graphical utility. This architecture saves application maintenance and upgrades. Programmers can benefit from using any Advantech SoftMotion controller without changing large amounts of the application code. User-friendly examples decrease programming load, helping users complete configuration and diagnosis easily
