Softing announces protocol software and communication modules based on the Altera Cyclone III FPGA.
The portable protocol stacks for PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus/TCP enhance any field device with an existing Ethernet interface with Real-Time (RT) Ethernet capabilities. The extremely flexible porting layer guarantees a rapid integration of Softing’s high-performance solutions into any target device.Softing recommends two additional PROFINET integration models for PROFINET Field Devices: the System-on-a-Chip Altera Cyclone III FPGA for high-volume products and the PROFINET Communications Module for low-volume products.Softing’s Real-Time Ethernet communication module is an excellent alternative for use in low volume products or if a device manufacturer does not have the necessary R&D bandwidth to design a demanding Real-Time Ethernet interface. The 80 x 50 mm design incorporates the advantages offered by Altera’s Cyclone III FPGA and includes:• 2 RJ45 Ethernet interfaces• LED for status information• 50-Pin connector for memory access• 10-Pin connector for serial interface• Interface for BDM-Debugger• License key in security-EEPROM• 4 MB Flash• 16 MB SDRAMFor more information, visit www.softing.us.
