Digital PCI Express communication card CIFX 70E-DN

DMA

Overview The cifX PC card family is the unified standard supporting all Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems for PC-based automation. The protocol stack is executed autonomously on the PC card and process data is exchanged with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA (Direct Memory Access). Due to the common Hilscher Platform Strategy, all PC cards use the same driver and tools irrespective of protocol and card format. The Hilscher netX technology enables implementation of all Real-Time Ethernet protocols on a single hardware platform; a communication protocol can be changed by loading different firmware. The product range includes multiple hardware options such as different cable lengths, M-12 connectors, additional NVRAM, extended temperature range, 2-channel cards, and detached network interfaces, plus a wide range of device drivers and a free C-Toolkit.

Highlights

• Universal DeviceNet PC card (Master or Slave)
• Uniform user interface for all protocols and card formats
• Easy integration due to a large variety of drivers
• Data access via dual-port memory or direct memory access
• Unique slot number, assignation via rotary switch
• For an extended temperature range of up to 65 °C

Description The CIFX 70E-DN is a low-profile PCI Express PC card providing DeviceNet communication (Master or Slave) for PC-based automation. The card executes the protocol stack autonomously and exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA. It shares the common Hilscher platform and drivers, enabling firmware-based protocol changes and flexible hardware options to match different application requirements.

Supported protocols

• DeviceNet Master
• DeviceNet Slave
