Brief Product Description

PCIE2000ETH is a high-performance industrial PCIe Ethernet interface card developed by Molex Applicom, designed for industrial automation and process control communication systems. Built with an onboard dedicated co-processor, this PCIe x4 expansion card delivers stable, low-latency Gigabit Ethernet data transmission without occupying host CPU resources. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 industrial Ethernet standards, it supports mainstream TCP/IP protocol suites and dual client/server operating modes. Featuring wide temperature tolerance, industrial-grade EMC immunity and conformal coating options, the PCIE2000ETH ensures uninterrupted network communication in harsh factory and field environments. Widely compatible with Emerson DeltaV and other mainstream industrial control platforms, it serves as a reliable network expansion solution for industrial workstations and servers. Fully tested surplus and refurbished PCIE2000ETH cards are available for legacy industrial network system maintenance, upgrade and retrofit projects.
