Product Q&A
- Q: Does the TC-PCIC02 support media redundancy?
- A: Yes, it features dual BNC ports to support redundant ControlNet cabling for high-availability systems.
- Q: Is this card compatible with modern 64-bit PCI Express slots?
- A: No, this is a legacy 32-bit PCI card; for PCIe slots, the TC-PCIE01 or similar updated hardware is required.
- Q: What is the purpose of the NAP port on the bracket?
- A: The Network Access Port (NAP) allows local configuration tools or laptops to connect directly to the ControlNet network without disconnecting the BNC cables.
