Siemens, a provider within the area of automation and industrial software program, collaborates with Hilscher Gesellschaft fur Systemautomation mbH, a supplier of commercial communication options, to supply a variety of communication protocols to industrial firms.
By integrating the cifX PC card know-how from Hilscher into Siemens’ SIMATIC IPCs, the 2 firms present prospects versatile entry to all related fieldbus and real-time Ethernet programs the know-how for communication between gadgets and the change of information between machines and crops within the current very heterogeneous IoT world. This helps the digital enterprise transformation of trade and helps handle right this moment’s complicated know-how challenges akin to attaining sooner time-to-market and larger effectivity.
The Simatic Field and Panel PC a sequence of extremely dependable rugged industrial PCs from Siemens with optionally available industrial-grade contact display screen show allows prospects to attach, innovate, and run functions to allow them to flip knowledge into worthwhile insights. PC playing cards within the M.2 format from Hilscher’s cifX PC card household could be built-in into Siemens’ SIMATIC IPC by a easy plug-and-play setup and activation. Hilscher’s clever netX community controller then allows the mixing of 19 completely different fieldbuses and real-time Ethernet protocols within the M.2 PC card.Customers profit from unified machine drivers, one configuration instrument, in addition to a constant API throughout all protocols. With this scalable platform, they’ll simply and effectively combine all related automation protocols:
- PROFIBUS-DP
- CANopen
- DeviceNet
- PROFINET-IO
- EtherCAT
- EtherNet/IP
- OpenModbus/TCP
- POWERLINK*
- SERCOS
- CC-Hyperlink IE Discipline Primary*
- Varan*
Switching to the required protocol could be carried out through Hilscher’s loadable firmware, which is included within the scope of supply. Hilscher additionally affords protocol stacks for Controller in addition to Machine functions. The number of protocols ensures that the SIMATIC IPC can adapt to the communication necessities of various market segments and completely different areas world wide, e. g. Ethernet-IP in USA or Korea or Modbus in India. As well as, customers can depend on the truth that particular community necessities of various gadgets, machines and programs of the worldwide automation market are reliably met.
The M.2 bundles for ready-to-use integration, e. g. into the SIMATIC IPC227G and IPC BX-39A, can be found instantly from Hilscher. Prospects profit from the flawless interplay of the examined mixtures of SIMATIC IPC and cifX M.2 PC playing cards.For additional data relating to SIMATIC IPC Programs please see:
