OverviewThe cifX PC card family is the unified standard supporting all Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems for PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs autonomously on the PC card and process data is exchanged with the host via Dual-Port-Memory or DMA (Direct Memory Access). Thanks to the Hilscher Platform Strategy, all cifX cards use the same driver and tools regardless of protocol and card format. Hilscher netX technology enables multiple Real-Time Ethernet protocols on a single hardware platform; the communication protocol can be changed by loading different firmware.
