OverviewThe cifX PC card family is the unified standard for Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems in PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs autonomously on the card and process data are exchanged with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA. Hilscher's netX technology enables multiple real-time protocols on a single hardware platform; protocol change is possible by loading different firmware.
Highlights- Universal CANopen PC card (Master or Slave)
- Uniform user interface and common driver/toolset across protocols and card formats
- Easy integration with a wide range of drivers and C-Toolkit
- Data access via Dual-Port-Memory (64 KB) or direct memory access (DMA)
- Includes detached network interface cable (available in 15 cm or 30 cm)
- Extended operating temperature up to +70 °C (with 0.5 m/s airflow during measurement)
Protocols supported- CANopen Master
- CANopen Slave
