Switch IP Core and Communication Processor for the Integration of PROFINET on Xilinx-AMD FPGA
- Simplifies PROFINET connectivity for field devices with Xilinx-AMD FPGA
- Optimized switch IP core and pre-installed software handle the entire protocol
- PROFINET and other industrial networks are supported by the same API
- Fast and robust operation by hardware/logic support and redundancy features
Easy-to-Integrate PROFINET Device Subsystem for FPGAs
- Entire protocol is handled by pre-installed software, no need for any porting
- Example project for fast hands-on experience
- Adaptation to the application requirements by extensive configuration options
- Large choice of supported FPGA families and sizes
Low Total Cost of Ownership
- No dependency on special ASICs
- Risk-free implementation thanks to Softing‘s consulting, integration, and pre-certification services
- Re-configuration and extension possible even after production
- Simple addition of further protocols
Pre-certified to Latest Standards
