멀티 프로토콜 SoC 및 스택

The netX communication coltrollers from Hilscher are multi-protocol-capable SoCs. They offer the following advantages and benefits:

• Reduced development effort thanks to a uniform platform
• High flexibility in protocol selection
• Future-proof thanks to update capability

netX 90 enables flexible support for numerous fieldbus and industrial Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and CC-Link as well as IIoT protocols such as OPC UA and MQTT.

netX is the brand name of a communication processor technology from Hilscher that was developed specifically for industrial networks.

The netX family is a series of communication processors from Hilscher that have been specially developed for industrial networks. They enable flexible support for almost all fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet protocols and form the basis of many Hilscher products such as PC cards, embedded modules, gateways, and edge devices.

netX 51/52: for classic fieldbuses and simple Industrial Ethernet applications

netX 90: compact, energy-efficient multi-protocol processor for secure device applications and modern IIoT devices

netX 100/500 series: for complex controller applications with high throughput

netX 900 series: Multi-core architecture for secure controller applications and demanding device use cases

The netX processors are multi-protocol capable and support, among others: 

• Industrial Ethernet: PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, CC-Link IE Field
• Feldbuses: Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNet, Interbus
• IIoT protocols: OPC UA, MQTT in combination with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, and Modbus
• Future technologies: TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking)

• Multi-protocol capability with a single hardware base
• Pre-certified protocol stacks
• Upgradeability for new standards and protocols
• Cyber-secure according to IEC 62443
• Compact design for embedded applications
• High real-time capability for industrial communication
• Long product life cycles for industrial requirements

• PC cards (cifX series) for industrial PCs
• Embedded modules (comX, netJACK, netRAPID) for direct integration
• Gateways and edge devices for networking heterogeneous systems

• Shorter development time, as there is no need to develop your own communication processor
• Flexibility, as multiple protocols are supported on the same hardware
• Scalability, from simple devices to complex control systems
• Investment security, as Hilscher guarantees long-term availability

• Mechanical engineering – Integration of various communication standards
• Robotics and motion control – Real-time communication for precise movements
• Industrial control systems
• Process industry – Real-time networking of numerous field devices
• IIoT devices – Connection of edge and cloud systems
• Automotive industry – Highly available and fast networks in production lines

The netX processors enable devices to be protocol-independent and future-proof. By supporting TSN, OPC UA, and IIoT standards, they are central building blocks for digital factory and smart factory concepts.

The netX 90 is one of the smallest and most energy-efficient multi-protocol processors on the market. It is particularly suitable for compact devices, sensors, actuators, and IIoT applications as well as and applications that require little energy but demand full protocol diversity.

• Device manufacturers (OEMs) who offer their products in different markets
• System integrators who need to connect heterogeneous networks
• Machine builders who are looking for a future-proof communication basis
• Industrial companies that rely on standardization and flexibility
