BCM95720A2003AC

BCM95720A2003AC is a kind of very important device, which belongs to the interface controller field. This device combines the two ready-to-use physical-layer medium-dependent sublayer (PHY) 1GE and 10GE support, a comprehensive set of data transmission functions, and complete system dimensioning, testing and debugging functions. The product has become a favorable choice for using in the field of industrial control and automation, especially for power automation.

The basic application and working principle of BCM95720A2003AC are as follows:

1. Application field

BCM95720A2003AC\'s primary application fields include industrial & power automation, PLC communication, etc. In industrial & power automation, it is used to build a reliable Ethernet connection between Industrial PCs, controllers, switches, and other industrial devices to an Ethernet based control architecture. The BCM95720A2003AC helps manufacturers to consolidate communication performance within a small form factor, reduce costs, and improve machine operation efficiency. In PLC communication, it can serve as the client-side module in Ethernet-based Modbus RTU/TCP connected systems, and provide robust operation under extreme temperatures and other adverse operating conditions.

2. Working Principle

BCM95720A2003AC can be used as the interface between two entities, for instance, two Industrial PCs, two Modbus controllers, two serial devices, etc., or between two environments, for instance, two different industrial networks. It supports 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet with dual speed 10/100 Mbps, dual port RJ45. This device works on a token passing bus architecture and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) protocol. It implements several protocols like thread networks, Modbus, Ethernet/IP and SERCOS III. With this, it provides the convenience of an Ethernet connectivity, while enabling direct communication between clients. It also enables the simultaneous exchange of data and configuration info across networks, creating an efficient and time-saving system.

BCM95720A2003AC is robust, powerful and full-featured, delivering high-quality Ethernet connectivity for applications in industrial & power automation and PLC communication. It offers a comprehensive arrangement for out-of-the-box device configuration and network testing, allowing for easy commissioning with minimal resources. Furthermore, the device enables reliable control operations and prolongs product life through its wide operating temperature range, diagnostics features, low power mode, and built-in security features.
