The area of netX 90 use cases are unlimited. Thus, the intelligent chip architecture allows you to create applications for motion, remote I/O, functional safety, controls, or LVDS backplane.
Innovation by internal separation
One of the highlights of the chip’s internal architecture is the logical separation of the communication tasks and the application tasks, both from software quality and security aspects. The partitioning restricts the software access to on-chip peripherals on either side.
Communication | Application |
---|---|
For the communication, Hilscher provides a scalable software solution in terms of protocol functionality and flexibility. The inter-CPU data exchange between both systems (iDPM), based on a consistent and uniform API, enables application developers to use the software protocol stack for communication tasks as loadable firmware (LFW), fully tested and pre-certified by Hilscher. | The application makes full use of a separate Cortex-M4 at 100 MHz with DSP and FPU support, enhanced by a feature-rich set of on-chip peripherals with connectivity. The standard processor core allows application developers to benefit from the broad ARM ecosystem by choosing any CMSIS complaint operating system. |
The increasing complexity of System-on-Chips (SoC), coupled with high software development and maintenance costs, associated with multiprotocol capabilities for real-time industrial communications, turned into market requests that promote solution-oriented concepts. Thus, the netX 90 accelerates this transition by providing a unique value proposition with emphasis on the interplay between hardware and software to improve time to markets.
For the seamless integration, Hilscher provides the toolset and API for the application:
The netX Studio from Hilscher includes all components required to configure, develop, and debug embedded applications. The compartmentalized project manager features a set of utility tools to set up the prebuilt communication firmware in three rather simple steps.
In conclusion, the netX 90 provides a superior solution with an unmatched flexibility for a variety of industrial slave applications for the process and factory automation.
