Hilscher: Fieldbus Communications Card

Sept. 8, 2014
The cifX card supports two independent channels of fieldbus in one PCI slot.

This is useful in applications where the number of PCI slots is limited, such as in compact box-type PCs and embedded computers. Models are available for two PROFIBUS channels, two DeviceNet channels, and two CANopen channels, as well as all combinations: PROFIBUS and DeviceNet; PROFIBUS and CANopen; and CANopen and DeviceNet. Due to loadable firmware and software licenses, the same hardware can alternatively be used as Double-Master or as Double-Slave. Common to all of the cards is an extended temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C, as well as a reliable address allocation at the PCI bus via a rotary switch. All cards use the same application interface and data exchange will be done via dual-port-memory or DMA. A complete software package is included.
