PROFINET IO - FPGA-based Communication Board

Softings RT Ethernet communication module is a complete board-level solution that is an excellent alternative for use in low volume products or when a device manufacturer does not have the necessary R&D bandwidth to design a demanding RT Ethernet interface.

There are two benefits to this approach. The first is that the device manufacturer will have a standardized hardware and software interface that enables support for multiple RT Ethernet protocols. The second is the low cost of such a module when compared against the full development costs of a proprietary communication interface. Softings communication module design for field devices incorporates the advantages offered by Alteras Cyclone III FPGA.

Feature Summary:

  • 2-port switch, corresponding MAC and 2 NIOS II processors
  • Small dimensions for convenient integration
  • Connection to field device possible via memory interface and serial interface

Included in Package:

  • Communication module
  • Real-Time Ethernet stacks with SDAI interface (object format)
  • SDAI description
  • Sample programs in source code
  • Device description files (PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP)
  • Projects for PLC communication
