PCI Express communication card CIFX 70E-DP

Overview
The cifX PC card family provides a unified standard supporting Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems for PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs independently on the card and process data is exchanged with the host via Dual-Port Memory (DPM) or DMA. All cifX cards use the same driver and tools regardless of protocol or card format. The netX technology enables multiple Real-Time Ethernet protocols on a single hardware platform by loading different firmware.

Main features

• Universal PROFIBUS DP PC card (Master or Slave)
• Uniform user interface across all protocols and card formats
• Easy integration via a wide range of drivers
• Data access via Dual-Port Memory (DPM) or Direct Memory Access (DMA)
• Unique slot number selectable by rotary selector
• Designed for extended operating temperature up to +65 °C (with airflow)

Hardware options and functions
Multiple hardware options available: cables of various lengths, M12 connectors, additional NVRAM, 2-channel configurations or separate network interfaces. A broad selection of device drivers and a free C-Toolkit are available for development and integration.

Supported protocol

• PROFIBUS DP Master
• PROFIBUS DP Slave
