netX 90-based cifX PC cards – compact, powerful and flexible
For PC-based automation, the netX 90-based cifX PC cards in the formats M.2, PCIe and miniPCIe halfsize provide a powerful communication solution designed for future requirements. As a standardized platform, the cifX family supports all common Industrial Ethernet, Industrial IoT and fieldbus systems.
The complete protocol stack is executed directly on the PC card. Data exchange with the host system is handled efficiently via dual-port memory. Due to Hilscher’s unified platform strategy, all cifX cards use the same drivers and tools, regardless of the protocol or card format.
The proven netX technology enables all common Industrial Ethernet protocols to be implemented on a single hardware platform. Protocol changes are handled flexibly by loading different firmware – without any hardware modifications.
Maximum flexibility for your application
Whether compact M.2 modules for industrial PCs with limited space, classic PCIe cards for high-performance systems, or miniPCIe variants for specific industrial requirements – netX 90-based cifX cards offer a suitable solution for any application.
A broad range of device drivers as well as a free C toolkit simplify integration into different operating systems and software environments.
Future-ready through continuous development
The market for PC-based automation continues to evolve – and the cifX family evolves with it. Continuous expansion with new standards, protocols and formats like M.2, PCIe and miniPCIe half-size ensures long-term compatibility with future requirements.
With netX 90-based cifX PC cards, you get a compact, powerful and flexible communication solution – designed for modern industrial PC architectures.
