Dear ,

Thank you for registering for PI’s recent PROFINET webinars. We have some exciting news to share with you. Hilscher’s award-winning netX 90 network-controller chip is now PROFINET certified, having passed rigorous certification testing for conformance to PROFINET specifications. (*Details below.)
 
Why should you care? If you want to develop a PROFINET device, the Hilscher netX 90 ASIC provides your fastest time to market.

Housed in a 10x10 mm housing, it’s designed specifically for slave devices (sensors, actuators, encoders, etc.) and has a complete ecosystem of hardware, firmware, software and tools to get your device on PROFINET—quickly! It even supports OPC UA, MQTT, IO-Link and a host of popular sensor buses, such as EnDat 2.2 and BiSS. Importantly, the netX 90 provides the most secure data communications by utilizing secure boot, hardware-accelerated encryption, and a dual ARM core for logical separation of application and communication tasks.

Need more? The netX 90 PROFINET Real-Time Ethernet protocol stack is fully integrated into a netX loadable firmware (LFW) to provide a common set of functions as ready-to-use firmware:

• Real-time Data Exchange, with cycle times as low as 250 µs
• Alarms and Diagnostics
• Identification and Maintenance
• SNMP Support
• Shared Devices, Asset management
• PROFIenergy ASE
