Download Adds Profinet RT

July 6, 2010
Engineers who need to add Profinet RT to their automation products can now download everything they need to quickly integrate into new or existing product designs using the RapID Platform connectivity solution, says the vendor. 
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.
