Overview

The PCIe Bus Card JTNI Series for the Information and Control Network TC-net
100 is a series of interface cards connecting PCIe buses, the most used of
internal buses for general-purpose personal computers, to the TC-net 100, which
is a control LAN (Local Area Network) having the realtime characteristics of
Ethernet.
The standard transmission line configuration of the TC-net 100 is dual, which
permits highly reliable system configuration. The JTNI6 series comes in two
models: JTNI62 with a transmission line interface of optical fiber cord (GI 62.5/125
or GI 50/125). Models JTNI61 (optical) for single transmission line configuration
are also available.
