OverviewThe cifX PC card family provides a unified solution for Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus protocols in PC-based automation. The protocol stack executes autonomously on the card and exchanges process data with the host via dual-port memory or DMA. Hilscher netX technology enables multiple real-time protocols on a single hardware platform by loading different firmware, while a common driver and toolset streamline integration across protocols and card formats.
Product detailsPC card M.2 2242 Key B+M — CANopen. Designed for PC-based automation with PCI Express M.2 connectivity. Hardware options include different cable lengths, M12 connectors, additional NVRAM, extended temperature range, 2-channel variants and a detached network interface (AIFX-V2-CO). A wide range of device drivers and a free C-Toolkit are provided for integration and development.
