• Includes a detached network interface (15 cm or 30 cm cable)
• Without heat sink

Description
The cifX PC card family is the unified standard for supporting Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems in PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs autonomously on the card (netX technology) and exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port Memory or DMA. Thanks to the Hilscher platform strategy, all cifX cards use the same drivers and tools regardless of protocol or card format. netX technology enables implementation of multiple Real-Time Ethernet protocols on a single hardware platform; protocol changes are performed by loading different firmware.

Various hardware options are available: different detached-cable lengths, M12 connectors, additional NVRAM, extended temperature range, 2-channel variants, and more. A broad set of device drivers and a free C-Toolkit facilitate integration into diverse applications.

Protocols

• DeviceNet Master
• DeviceNet Slave
