Product overview The cifX PC card family provides a unified standard for Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems in PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs autonomously on the card and exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA (Direct Memory Access). With the netX technology, a single hardware platform supports multiple protocols by firmware change. Hardware options include different cable lengths, M-12 connectors, optional NVRAM, extended temperature range, 2-channel variants and detached network interfaces, enabling configuration for varied industrial applications.
Highlights - Universal DeviceNet PC card configurable as Master or Slave
- Unified user interface across protocols and card formats
- Wide driver support and free C-Toolkit for easy integration
- Data access via dual-port memory (DPM) or DMA
- Operational temperature range up to +70 °C (with airflow)
Supported protocols - DeviceNet Master
- DeviceNet Slave
