Digital PCI Express communication card CIFX 50E-CO

with I/O processor

Product overview
The CIFX 50E-CO is a PCI Express (x1) CANopen communication PC card designed for PC-based automation. The card executes the protocol stack autonomously on the netX 100 controller and exchanges process data with the host via Dual-Port-Memory (DPM) or Direct Memory Access (DMA). DMA support is available from hardware revision 4.

Highlights

• Universal CANopen operation: Master or Slave
• Unified driver and toolset across cifX family
• Data access via DPM or DMA for low-latency exchange
• Slot ID setting via rotary switch for clear addressing
• Options: extended temperature range, different connectors, NVRAM, detached interfaces

Description / Application
Designed for industrial PC-based control systems, the CIFX 50E-CO provides a compact, high-performance interface for CANopen networks. Typical applications include machine control, factory automation and embedded PC solutions where deterministic CANopen communication and easy software integration are required. A broad set of drivers and a free C-Toolkit simplify integration into custom environments.

Supported protocols

• CANopen Master
• CANopen Slave
