Description
Description:
The A20B-8001-0960 is a High-Speed Serial Bus (HSSB) interface printed circuit board designed for use on the PC/host side of a FANUC CNC system. It connects a PC or host computer’s PCI expansion bus to the FANUC controller’s HSSB network, enabling high-speed communication for data transfer, diagnostics, and control tasks.
Key Features:
-
🧠 Function: Interface board for FANUC’s HSSB (High-Speed Serial Bus), providing communication between a PC and the CNC controller.
-
📡 Channels: 2 communication channels (dual-channel HSSB) for higher throughput or multiple simultaneous links.
-
🔌 Bus Type: Designed to fit into a PCI slot on a PC or host system (PCI bus version, not ISA).
-
⚙️ Usage: Used in FANUC CNC hardware architectures — particularly in stand-alone Type i Series systems — where PC-level connectivity and high-speed serial communication with the CNC are required.
Typical Applications:
-
High-speed data transfer between CNC and host PC.
-
Diagnostics, program upload/download, monitoring over HSSB.
-
Integration with peripheral devices that utilize HSSB communications.
