The Hilscher PCI card for DeviceNet communication provides a robust solution for integrating PC-based automation systems with DeviceNet networks. The cifX PC card family is the unified standard supporting all Real Time Ethernet and Fieldbus systems for PC based automation. The protocol stack is executed autonomously on the PC card and process data is exchanged with the host via Dual Port Memory or DMA. Due to the common Hilscher Platform Strategy, all PC cards use the same driver and tools, irrespective of protocol and card format. The Hilscher netX technology makes it possible to realize all Real Time Ethernet protocols with one single hardware.
Universal PC cards for master and slave applications Uniform user interface for all protocols and card formats Easy integration due to a large variety of drivers Data access via dual port memory or direct memory access Unique slot number assignation via rotary switch For an extended temperature range of up to 70 °C
