DIL-32 communication IC for fiber optic cable - PROFINET IO-Device

Communication for simple slave devices with connection to fiber optic cable
  • Compact DIL-32 communication module for cost-efficient field devices

  • Host connection with Modbus RTU via SPI or UART

  • Supports the connection to fiber optic cable according to AIDA

  • PROFINET IO-Device interface with an extended diagnosis

  • One design for all networks due to uniform interfaces

  • Firmware update via integrated web server

Slave solution for field devices with a low data throughput

Simple field devices such as barcode readers, identification systems, valve manifolds or I/O blocks require a connection to fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet systems.

The netIC is a complete ‘Single Chip Module’ in the compact dimensions of a Dual-In-Line (DIL) 32 pin plug-in module. It is based on the network controller netX and contains all components of a fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet interface with an integrated 2-port switch and hub. With the netX technology the whole spectrum of relevant fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet systems is covered. By exchanging the firmware, one single netIC can be used for multiple communication systems.

Conventional shifting registers can be controlled via a synchronous serial interface requiring no additional processor for a simple I/O-device.
