If you retrofit a Beckhoff Industrial PC with a FC1028, you must adjust or check the settings in the BIOS to
ensure that the EtherCAT card functions properly. Without the appropriate BIOS settings the card is not
ready for operation and cannot be used in TwinCAT.
Adjust BIOS settings:
1. Restart your Industrial PC and press [Del] to start the BIOS setup.
2. If the [Del] key does not work, another key is displayed on the screen in any case, which can be used to
access the BIOS setup.
3. Navigate to the PCI Configuration menu
4. Disable the Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB option.
5. Press [F4] to save the settings and exit the BIOS setup.
ð The Industrial PC is restarted. With these settings the FC1028 EtherCAT card is ready for operation and
can be used under TwinCAT.
