NSHIELD 90-RE
Evaluation board

  • One piece of hardware for all industrial Real-Time Ethernet systems

  • netX 90 protocol-stack firmware available as free download for evaluation

  • Supports STM-NUCLEO-64 and STM-NUCLEO-144

  • Quick Start Guide for easy set-up of hardware and software

NSHIELD 90-RE, the successor of NSHIELD 52-RE, is a netX 90 SoC based evaluation board of the netX family.

Since its host interface connectors are compatible with Arduino Uno, plugging NSHIELD 90-RE into STM32 Nucleo-64 and Nucleo-144 development boards is easy.

NSHIELD 90-RE enables the user to connect a microcontroller-based application to many relevant Real-Time Ethernet industrial networks with first-class real-time capabilities, such as PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, etc. The netX 90 is implemented as a "companion chip" to the STM32.

The netX 90 SoC architecture has been designed to meet the highest requirements on flexibility, determinism, and performance regarding multi-protocol capability and low latency for short cycle times. The heterogeneous multi-core architecture has an ARM processor core that is coupled with a flexible communication subsystem (xC) and supports many industrial applications.

The protocol stack runs independently on the netX 90 SoC and requires only little memory and almost no CPU resources of the host microcontroller.

NSHIELD 90-RE supports the following protocols:
  • CANopen Slave
  • DeviceNet Slave
  • EtherCAT Slave
  • EtherNet/IP Adapter
  • PROFINET IO-Device
  • Sercos Slave
  • CC-Link IE Field Basic Slave
