Hilscher 2 Port PCI Express RJ45 Network Card, 100Mbit/s

This PC card provides a Compact Interface for industrial networking, fitting into a PCI Express slot to add Ethernet connectivity to automation hosts. It is designed for factory and control-room environments where a dual-port copper connection is required, and it integrates with common industrial protocols via an RJ45 physical Interface while operating at 100 Mbit/s.

• Two physical RJ45 ports enabling redundant or segmented links
• PCI Express bus delivering low-latency host connectivity
• 100 Mbit/s throughput supporting deterministic field traffic
• Conforms to UKCA, CE, RoHS and UL for recognised regulatory acceptance
• Designed for industrial integration with Siemens/ML protocol compatibility

• Suitable for connecting PLCs to enterprise networks in manufacturing
• Ideal for machine-control stations requiring dual copper ports
• Used with industrial PCs for deterministic Ethernet communication
• Can be used for segmented network topologies and redundancy

It requires a PCI Express expansion slot on the host board and follows standard PCIe signalling for device enumeration and driver binding.

Two RJ45 interfaces provide standard twisted-pair copper connections for 100 Mbit/s links and accept typical industrial Ethernet cabling.

The unit meets multiple regulatory approvals, making it appropriate for installations where UKCA, CE, RoHS or UL recognition is required.

The adapter is intended to interoperate with Siemens and ML protocol stacks, enabling connectivity to a variety of automation devices and control systems.
