FAQ
Q1: Can the PCU2000ETH card support both Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP simultaneously?
A1: Yes, the card can be configured to communicate using either protocol, but simultaneous communication on the same network port is not supported.
Q2: What is the maximum cable length supported for Ethernet communication?
A2: Standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables up to 100 meters are supported per Ethernet segment.
Q3: Can I use the PCU2000ETH card for redundant network communication?
A3: No, the card does not natively support network redundancy protocols such as HSR or PRP.
Q4: Is it possible to update the firmware of the PCU2000ETH card independently?
A4: Yes, firmware updates are performed through the PCU2000 controller software interface.
Q5: What diagnostic tools are available for monitoring the card’s network performance?
A5: The card provides LED indicators for link and activity status and can be monitored via the PCU2000 diagnostic software.
Q6: Can the card handle high-frequency data acquisition?
A6: Yes, it is optimized for industrial real-time data exchange and can handle high-speed communication typical for turbine control systems.
Q7: How does the PCU2000ETH card handle electromagnetic interference?
A7: The card is designed with industrial-grade shielding to maintain reliable operation in environments with EMI/RFI.
Q8: Can the card be hot-swapped while the PCU2000 is running?
A8: No, the card should be installed or removed only when the controller is powered down to avoid system errors.
Q9: Is the card compatible with third-party PLCs?
A9: It can communicate using standard Ethernet protocols, but full integration and functionality are guaranteed only with the Woodward PCU2000 system.
Q10: How are IP addresses configured on the PCU2000ETH card?
A10: IP addresses are assigned via the PCU2000 controller configuration software, supporting both static and DHCP assignments.
