Typical Applications
- Industrial PC (IPC) Ethernet expansion in PLC/DCS control cabinets
- SCADA workstation network interface upgrades
- HMI panel PC connectivity in manufacturing lines
- Embedded computing platforms requiring PCI Ethernet
- Legacy system maintenance and spare-parts replenishment
- Machine vision systems requiring dedicated network isolation
System Compatibility
- Bus: PCI 32-bit / 33 MHz (standard PCI slot)
- OS Support: Windows XP/7/10/11, Windows Embedded Standard, Linux (kernel 2.6+), QNX, VxWorks (driver-dependent)
- Chassis: Compatible with standard ATX, micro-ATX, and industrial rackmount IPC chassis with PCI slots
- Power: Supplied via PCI bus (3.3 V / 5 V universal keying)
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the correct model for your application:
- Step 1 — Bus type: Confirm your motherboard has a free PCI (not PCIe) slot. The PCIE2000ETH APP-EPB-PCIE uses the legacy PCI bus.
- Step 2 — Speed requirement: Determine if 10/100 or Gigabit (1000 Mbps) is required by your network infrastructure.
- Step 3 — OS & driver: Verify driver availability for your target OS version before ordering.
- Step 4 — Environment: For harsh environments (wide temperature, vibration), consider industrial-grade variants or conformal-coated versions.
- Step 5 — Quantity & lead time: Contact Konmask.com for volume pricing and availability confirmation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a PCIe card instead of this PCI card?
A: No. PCI and PCIe are physically and electrically incompatible. Ensure your motherboard has a legacy PCI slot before ordering.
Q: Is the PCIE2000ETH APP-EPB-PCIE still in production?
A: Contact us to confirm current production status. We maintain stock of both new and refurbished units.
Q: What is the difference between APP-EPB-PCIE and other PCIE2000ETH suffixes?
A: Suffix codes typically denote packaging, RoHS compliance level, or regional certification. Contact our team for a detailed suffix breakdown.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All units carry a minimum 90-day warranty. Extended warranty options are available for volume orders.
Q: Can you source end-of-life (EOL) stock?
A: Yes. Konmask.com specializes in industrial component sourcing including EOL and hard-to-find parts.
