Description

Overview
The CIFX 50-CO is a PCI PC-card providing a CANopen communication interface for PC-based automation. The cifX family executes protocol stacks autonomously on the card and exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port Memory (DPM) or DMA. netX technology allows multiple real-time Ethernet and Fieldbus protocols on the same hardware via firmware variants. A wide range of hardware options and device drivers plus a free C-Toolkit support flexible integration.

Highlights
  • Universal CANopen PC card configurable as Master or Slave
  • Consistent user interface across protocols and card formats
  • Wide driver support for simplified integration
  • Data access via Dual-Port Memory (DPM) or Direct Memory Access (DMA)
  • Unique slot number set by rotary switch
  • Extended operating temperature up to +70 °C

Supported protocols
  • CANopen Master
  • CANopen Slave
