嵌入式模块

Hilscher Embedded Modules are compact communication modules based on netX technology. They can be directly integrated into controllers, devices, or machines to enable flexible connectivity to fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet networks—without requiring manufacturers to develop their own hardware from scratch.

• comX modules – plug-in communication modules for industrial controllers
• netJACK – IP40 exchangeable module, tool-free mounting
• netRAPID – chip carrier for direct integration of netX into custom designs

The embedded modules are based on netX processors and support a wide range of protocols, including:

Industrial Ethernet: PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, CC-Link IE Field
Fieldbuses: PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, CANopen, and others
Industrial IoT: OPC UA, MQTT

• Time to market: Faster market entry due to reduced development time
• Flexibility: Interchangeable modules for different protocols
• Unified software interface: Consistent API across all protocols
• Long-term availability: Industrial-grade form factors with many years of support
• Compact design: Minimal space requirements thanks to modular architecture

• comX: Universally applicable plug-in modules, flexible for various protocols
• netJACK: Inserted directly into the device front like a connector—ideal for modular devices
• netRAPID: Assembled chip module (chip carrier) soldered directly onto the mainboard—cost-efficient for series production

• Machinery and plant engineering: Integration into PLCs, motion controllers, and drives
• Robotics: Communication between robots and field devices
• Factory automation: Data transmission between sensors, actuators, and controllers
• IIoT devices: Connecting edge devices to industrial networks

Integration is straightforward, as Hilscher provides a unified software development kit (SDK) and driver concept. Developers access all protocols via a standardized API. Firmware updates and configurations can be easily deployed.

Yes. Thanks to the netX 90, the modules are update-capable and support both current and emerging technologies such as TSN and OPC UA. This makes them ideally suited for Industry 4.0 and IIoT applications.

• Automation technology
• Robotics and motion control
• Manufacturing technology
• Machine builders with modular product families

They are ideal for device manufacturers, OEMs, and machine builders who want to integrate their products quickly and flexibly into industrial communication networks—with minimal development effort and long-term investment security.
