PCI Express communication interface card CIFX M224290BM-DPF

PCIePROFIBUSPROFIBUS-DP

Overview
The CIFX PC card family provides a unified hardware platform for Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus protocols in PC-based automation. Protocol stacks execute autonomously on the card via an integrated netX communication controller; process data is exchanged with the host through dual-port memory or DMA. All cards share a common driver and toolset regardless of protocol or form factor, simplifying deployment and maintenance.

Highlights

• Smallest multiprotocol PC cards on the automation market
• Uniform user interface across protocols and card formats
• Wide range of drivers for easy integration
• Process data access via dual-port memory
• Includes a detached network interface (15 cm)
• Operable in extended temperature range up to 70 °C with airflow

Product summary
CIFX M224290BM-DP\F is an M.2 2242 Key B+M PC card configured as a PROFIBUS DP Slave for PC-based automation. The onboard netX communication controller executes the PROFIBUS protocol autonomously on the card, offloading the host and ensuring real-time communication.

Supported protocols

• PROFIBUS DP Slave
