Dear <<&firstname>>,

Hilscher has launched something big—and in the world’s smallest PC Card package. The new M.2 format PCI Express card adds
real-time communications to PC-based systems. And it has never been easier. In just a few minutes, users can connect PC-based devices, such IPCs, HMIs and robotics, to
Real-Time Ethernet and Fieldbus networks. The M.2 card can be simply installed in new and existing devices to connect with industrial automation networks on the fly.

Here’s a link to the complete press release.

The M.2 2230 Key A+E card, with Hilscher product name CIFX M223090AE, is part of Hilscher’s cifX family of PC Cards. cifX PC Cards are intended for easy integration of a network interface and fast
time-to-market of the manufacturers’ products and features.

At the heart of the M.2 2230 card is Hilscher’s award-winning netX 90 multiprotocol communication chip. M.2 card users can choose among loadable firmware for PROFINET IO-Device, EtherNet/IP Adapter, EtherCAT Slave and OpenModbus/TCP. Available in Q4 2020 is firmware for CC-Link IE Field Basic and Ethernet POWERLINK Slave.

With its small size, low power draw, reduced heat waste and extended temperature range, Hilscher’s M.2 card is the smallest multiprotocol card in the market and ideal for energy saving applications.
