PCI communication interface card CIFX 50-RE

EthernetModbus TCPRJ45

Product overview
The CIFX 50-RE (Hilscher) is a PCI Real-Time Ethernet PC card providing Master or Slave functionality for PC-based automation. The full protocol stack runs on the card; process data is exchanged with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA. The netX platform enables multiple Real-Time Ethernet protocols on a single hardware platform, changeable by firmware.

Highlights

• Universal Real-Time Ethernet PC card (Master or Slave)
• Uniform user interface and common drivers for all supported protocols
• Data access via dual-port memory or direct memory access (DMA)
• Unique slot assignment via rotary switch
• Hardware options: different cable types/lengths, M12 connectors, optional NVRAM, extended temperature variants
• 2×RJ45 isolated Ethernet ports, isolation tested to 1000 V DC
