netX 52 chips mounted on printed circuit boards.

Our firmware is what makes our netX-SoCs what they are!

Firmware (NXLFW)

Our netX technology enables machines around the globe to communicate reliably and flexibly with each other. The chips are often in the foreground, but it is our flexible loadable firmware NXLFW that makes them so unique.

It's the result of more than 35 years of experience in industrial communication technology. It reflects our daily work and our connections in the industry—with involvement in numerous associations, workgroups and all relevant user organizations.

With the firmware you decide which protocol your netX chip, your device or your system should use. A simple change is all it takes and your device is ready for a new industry, a new application and a new customer.
