PROFINET Controller Subsystem for Altera FPGA

Softing Industrial

Select

Easy-to-integrate PROFINET Controller subsystem for FPGAs including an optimized Industrial Ethernet switch IP core and a CPU IP core running the PROFINET controller protocol stack. No porting of the PROFINET stack is required – just load the prepared executable. A comprehensive API library connects the controller application through its memory interface. Verification with the official PROFINET test bundle of PI organization allows for swift certification of your controller product.

The PROFINET Controller Subsystem is suitable for factory automation, process control and safety applications. Its fast operation by cut-through-switching and DMA transfer of i/o data as well as the support of Fast Startup make it the ideal base for PLCs and other controller equipment for discrete manufacturing. Simple Device Replacement, System Redundancy as well as the support of PA Profile devices and of Dynamic Reconfiguration are indispensable features for process contro...
