Hilscher
Secure PCI Express-based industrial communication
Hilscher presents the 'cifX PCIE90-RE' and the 'cifX LPCIE90-RE', two new PC cards for secure industrial communication.
The cards are based on the netX-90 System-on-Chip (SoC) and are available in PCI Express and low-profile PCI Express format. With these cifX variants, the company is expanding its PC card portfolio with two solutions for current and future requirements. The cards are suitable as successors to established cifX PC cards based on netX 100 with PCI Express interface, such as the 'cifX 50E-RE', but can also be used in new generations of devices in which security, performance and flexibility play a central role from the outset, according to the manufacturer. The core of both cards is the multi-protocol-capable netX-90 communication controller. It forms the technological basis for standardized, secure and scalable industrial communication. Both PC cards support the common Industrial Ethernet and IIoT protocols: Profinet IO-Device, Ethercat SubDevice, Ethernet/IP Adapter, OpenModbus/TCP Server/Client, CC-Link IE Field Basic Slave, Powerlink Controlled Node, Sercos Slave, OPC UA Server and MQTT Publisher/Subscriber. The protocols can be flexibly adapted to different target markets and requirements by changing the firmware.
