The protection against cyberattacks has become one of the most important topics in the age of digitalization. Companies have to protect themselves against malicious attacks from the outside. Attackers are smart and learned that corporate IT systems are well protected; however, manufacturing networks are much less well safeguarded. I/O networks are mostly unprotected what can cause e.g. message tampering, communication eavesdropping or unauthorized communication.

Hilscher presents the smallest multiprotocol PC Cards on the automation market: cifX in M.2 and mini PCIe halfsize card formats.

VISIT US AT THE SPS IN NUREMBERG AND EXPERIENCE OPEN INDUSTRY 4.0 SOLUTIONS IN ACTION IN HALL 5, BOOTH 130.

With the two newly added Industrial Ethernet protocols CC-Link IE Field for Gigabit Ethernet and CC-Link IE Field Basic for Fast Ethernet, Hilscher expands the range of its cifX PC card family as well as of its comX and netIC embedded module family.

The innovative netX 90 initiates a new generation of communication. In addition to all common Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus standards. The network controller also supports the IIoT standards OPC UA and MQTT. Compared to its predecessors, the netX 90 features a lower power dissipation despite of its smaller form factor. At the same time, the new technology is characterized by an architectural separation of communication and application tasks. Security functions for secure field and cloud connectivity are also natively integrated.
