EtherNet/IP Adapter Module
FPGA-based solution for the cost-effective und universal connection to real-time Ethernet systems
The
EtherNet/IP Adapter module represents a powerful solution for the
implementation of EtherNet/IP Adapter functionality in devices such as
drives, I/O modules or encoders. For connection to the application CPU,
a serial interface or a shared memory interface is available. The
memory required for the data exchange is already on the EtherNet/IP
Adapter module, so that the interface of the application CPU only has
to be connected to the module.
For simple applications it is
possible to run the application together with the EtherNet/IP Adapter
software on the module. Device vendors can also integrate the hardware
design instead of the add-on module directly in their own circuit.
A
Host-API is supplied together with the EtherNet/IP Adapter module,
which allows the module to be controlled via its interface. The access
and the configuration to the local objects of the EtherNet/IP Adapter
module is supported by the Host-API. It is also possible to save
configurations on the EtherNet/IP Adapter module.
Process data
are exchanged between application CPU and the EtherNet/IP Adapter
module via separate storage areas for input and output data. The
application can use 1.5 kBytes for process data in each direction.
A
baseboard is available as a supplement to the EtherNet/IP Adapter
module. This provides the power supply necessary for the evaluation of
the module as well as various bus connections. With the baseboard it is
possible to implement a simple I/O device directly or to connect
processor modules of Phytec (phyCORE-XC161and phyCORE-LPC2294) or
Spectrum Digital (eZdsp F2812) to the EtherNet/IP Adapter module via
the integrated plugboards.
