DMA PCI Express communication card CIFX 90E-2DPETF

dual-output

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 exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port Memory or DMA. All cifX cards use the same driver and tools regardless of protocol or card format. netX technology enables multiple Real-Time Ethernet protocols on a single hardware platform by changing firmware.

Key features

• Two PROFIBUS DP interfaces (Master or Slave) in a single Mini PCI Express slot
• Uniform user interface across protocols and card formats
• Easy integration with a wide range of drivers
• Data access via Dual-Port Memory or DMA
• Includes separate network interface (15 cm or 30 cm cable)
• Extended operating temperature up to 70 °C

Extended description
Multiple hardware options (different cable lengths, M12 connectors, additional NVRAM, extended temperature ranges, 2-channel cards, separate network interfaces) allow adapting the solution to the application. A broad selection of device drivers and a free C-Toolkit are available for integration.

Supported protocols

• PROFIBUS DP Master
• PROFIBUS DP Slave
