Supported network controllers

The TwinCAT RT driver is required for a network port if real-time protocols such as EtherCAT are used.

It enables the TwinCAT real-time to access the network chip.

The driver can be installed using the "TcRteInstall.exe" tool, which is provided in C:\TwinCAT\3.1\System.

On the following page you will find a list of the supported Intel chips. The driver recognizes the chips by the vendor and device ID.

Supporting a network card does not mean that the system is real-time capable. Beckhoff ensures this for its own IPCs and EPCs through a variety of measures. However, this cannot be guaranteed for other devices that use the same network controller.

Notice

Observe Beckhoff compatibility

The NICs installed in Beckhoff controllers are specially selected and qualified for RT use; no properties can be assured on third-party devices.
If in doubt, the original Intel driver must be used, which does not allow operation with the TwinCAT runtime with real-time protocols.
