Product overviewThe cifX PC card family is a unified standard supporting Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems for PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs autonomously on the PC card and process data is exchanged with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or DMA. All PC cards share the same driver and tools regardless of protocol and card format. Hilscher netX technology enables multiple Real-Time Ethernet protocols on one hardware platform; protocol change is performed by loading different firmware.
Highlights- Universal DeviceNet PC card (Master or Slave)
- Uniform user interface for all protocols and card formats
- Easy integration with a wide range of drivers
- Data access via dual-port memory or direct memory access (DMA)
- Includes a detached network interface (15 cm or 30 cm)
- Extended operating temperature up to +70 °C
Protocols supported- DeviceNet Master
- DeviceNet Slave
