DMA PCI Express communication card CIFX 50E-DP

with I/O processor

Product overview
The Hilscher CIFX 50E-DP is a PCI Express PC card providing PROFIBUS DP communication as Master or Slave. The protocol stack runs on the card (netX 100) and exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA, enabling deterministic PC-based automation communication.

Highlights

• Universal PROFIBUS DP PC card (Master or Slave)
• Uniform user interface across protocols and card formats
• Wide driver support for easy integration
• Data access via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or Direct Memory Access (DMA)
• Unique slot number set by rotary switch

Protocols supported

• PROFIBUS DP Master
• PROFIBUS DP Slave
