The entire platform can be downloaded directly from the vendor’s Web
site for a risk-free, no-cost evaluation. A one-time license fee applies
only if the platform is used in production. The downloadable version
is said to be fully functional and pre-tested for Profinet conformance,
including electronic schematics, bill of materials and layout files, as
well as all of the necessary software, stacks and development
environment. Evaluation of the RapID Platform download can be performed
on hardware via the Internet or at the user’s site. The solution is
centered on the vendor’s fido1100 communication controller, which
handles all of the Profinet traffic. The RapID Platform can be used as a
“network processor” alongside any host microcontroller. It can also be
used as a stand-alone solution with the user’s application running
directly on the RapID Platform. Innovasic Semiconductorwww.innovasic.com888.824.4184
