A new release of the RapID Platform Network Interface (v3.1) is now available to download from the Innovasic website Developer Portal. The software, tools and documentation that support the Network Interface Module and embedded design have been updated and improved to provide additional support for your Industrial Ethernet product development efforts.
Here are a few of the highlights of the additional capability that you get with v3.1:
NEW! - Parallel Interface Support

The RapID Platform Network Interface solution is a pre-tested Industrial Network interface that manages the industrial protocol and network traffic. Thanks to the module's unified interface, a single hardware design supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and ModbusTCP. The unified interface also ensures your host processor hardware or software does not need to change even when you switch or update protocols. The upgrades highlighted above in v3.1 will work with your existing Network Interface hardware.
