Overview The CIFX M3042100BM-DP\F is an M.2 3042 Key B+M PROFIBUS DP PC card designed for PC-based automation. The protocol stack runs autonomously on the card; process data is exchanged with the host via Dual-Port Memory or DMA. netX firmware enables protocol selection on the same hardware. Multiple hardware options and a comprehensive set of drivers simplify integration in industrial environments.
Highlights - Universal PROFIBUS DP support (Master or Slave)
- Consistent user interface across protocols and card formats
- Wide driver availability for easy integration
- 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 65 °C without heat sink
Supported protocols - PROFIBUS DP Master
- PROFIBUS DP Slave
