Ethernet RJ45-PCIe^® compact module

You have two Ethernet PCIe^® compact modules at your disposal:

• FC9082
• FC9282

The Ethernet standards 100Base-T and 1000Base-T enable the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 100/1000 Mbit/s for the two Ethernet ports of the FC9082 option, which are connected via PCIe^®.

The Ethernet standards 100Base-T, 1000Base-T and 2500Base-T enable the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 100/1000/2500 Mbit/s for the two Ethernet ports of the FC9282 option, which are connected via PCIe^®.

The required speed is selected automatically. The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable connection is 100 m.

The Ethernet ports are not switched. They are suitable for cycle times <= 1 ms and for distributed clock applications in EtherCAT.

The controllers are assigned as follows according to the module option:

Fig.7: Ethernet interface pin numbering

The LEDs of the LAN interfaces indicate the activity and the data transmission rate (Mbit/s). The LED shown completely green in the figure indicates whether the interface is connected to a network. If this is the case, the LED lights up green. The LED flashes green when data transmission is in progress on the interface.

The green/orange LED shown in the figure indicates the data transmission rate. The Ethernet PCIe^® compact modules differ in terms of the possible data transmission rate. The following tables show what the LEDs mean with regard to the potential data transmission rate.
