Core Product Performance
Self-operated bus calculation, does not occupy host CPU resources
Communication Protocol Stack runs completely on the local chip of the board card, the host only reads and writes data through the dual-port memory, significantly reducing the load of the industrial control main control, suitable for hard real-time control requirements of steam turbines and gas turbines;
Master/Slave stations can freely switch configuration
Software loading different firmware can switch PROFIBUS master station (mounting remote I/O, frequency converter) or slave station (connecting Siemens PLC), one board card can adapt to bidirectional communication scenarios;
Complete bus diagnosis and fault self-check
Support bus waveform monitoring, site disconnection detection, communication error counting, bus short circuit troubleshooting; Fault code local indicator light display, simultaneously upload to the host background;
Unified driver ecosystem, all series compatible replacement
Hilscher CIFX full series of board cards share one set of driver software, replacing different bus specification board cards does not need to modify the upper-layer application programs;
Industrial reinforced and durable design
PCB three-proof coating, anti-vibration and shock resistance, able to withstand cabinet dust, electromagnetic interference, supports 7×24h uninterrupted year-round operation;
Firmware can be upgraded online
Update bus firmware through debugging serial port or upper-level software, compatible with different versions of PROFIBUS devices for debugging.
Application Domains
