ALBUQUERQUE, USA: Innovasic Semiconductor has announced the availability of the 1-Port RapID Platform for EtherNet/IP adapters and Profinet devices as part of the company’s constant effort to provide the lowest cost Industrial Ethernet solutions.
“As with our previously released 2-port version, Innovasic’s 1-port RapID Platform provides quick and easy EtherNet/IP or Profinet connectivity,” said Tom Weingartner, Innovasic’s Vice President, Marketing. “And whether you need 1-port or 2-ports, the same RapID Platform hardware can be used for both Industrial Ethernet protocols,” he added.
The 1-port and 2-port RapID Platforms support EtherNet/IP version 4.1 and Profinet version 2.2 and can be downloaded directly from the Innovasic website for a risk-free, no-cost evaluation.
This is not a demo version – it is fully functional and pre-tested for EtherNet/IP and Profinet conformance including electronic schematics, bill of materials, and layout files, as well as all necessary software, stacks, and development environment. All software is royalty free with no hidden fees.
The RapID Platform is based on Innovasic’s fido1100 communication controller and can be used as a “network processor” alongside any host microcontroller. It can also be used as a standalone solution with the customer’s application running directly on the RapID Platform.
The schematic has been carefully designed to provide robust, long-life, industrial-class performance at the lowest possible bill of material (BOM) cost. The Ethernet physical interface includes protection circuitry, bicolor LEDs, and magnetics integrated in the connector. Cycle times down to 1 ms are achieved utilizing the fido1100’s unique deterministic hardware and software architecture.
The 1-Port EtherNet/IP and Profinet RapID Platforms are available on the Innovasic website in December 2010. The 2-Port versions are available now.
