RZ/N1

Product description:

RZ/N1 is a family of scalable ARM® based industrial Ethernet switches. Due to the performant ARM® Cortex®-A7 CPU on board, they are ideal choice for building Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), industrial switches, gateways or operator terminals.

RZ/N1D and RZ/N1S, are made of two building blocks integrated in a single housing.

-          The communication block is based on the proven R-IN communication engine, already implemented in R-IN32M3 and RZ/T1. It features an advanced Ethernet switch structure powered by an ARM® Cortex®-M3 CPU.

-          The application block contains a dual ARM® Cortex®-A7 core in the RZ/N1D version or a single ARM® Cortex®-A7 core in the RZ/N1S version.

RZ/N1L is the smallest product from the RZ/N1 Family. It includes only the communication block with the R-IN Engine.

Many industrial Ethernet protocols from leading vendors have already been developed within this abstraction layer. An API towards the application software makes the communication software transparent and lets developers focus on what they know best solving customers’ problems. Depending on the application requirements, a simple migration between a range of R-IN Engine based chips is also possible.
