Softing Industrial is a leading technology specialist for industrial communication and interoperability with decades of experience and thousands of product installations in discrete manufacturing as well as process industries. Our portfolio of Technology Integration products (FPGA-centric communication solutions including software stacks and modules) helps companies to integrate industrial communication protocols and interoperability standards into their devices, host systems and applications. All products are developed (and used) in-house by Softing, with special attention paid to ease-of-use for the engineer. An important part of Softing’s Technology Integration products are FPGA based Communication Subsystems for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus/TCP and PROFIBUS. These Communication Subsystems comprise not only the IP cores for communication but also an integrated Soft-CPU that comes with the fully-functional protocol stack.

Offerings

PROFINET Controller for Altera FPGA provides controller connectivity for PLC, PAC, DCS and similar systems. It comprises an industrial switch IP core and all required protocol software already running on a softcore processor. It is an encapsulated PROFINET communication subsystem simply downloadable into an FPGA.

PROFINET Device for Altera FPGA provides an optimized Switch IP Core and a Communication Processor for the Integration of PROFINET and other industrial networks into field devices. It uses the same API for all supported protocols.

EtherNet/IP Adapter for Altera FPGA provides an optimized Switch IP Core and a Communication Processor for the Integration of EtherNet/IP and other industrial networks into field devices. It uses the same API for all supported protocols.

EtherCAT Slave for Altera FPGA provides an optimized EtherCAT IP Core and a Communication Processor for the Integration of EtherCAT and other industrial networks into field devices. It uses the same API for all supported protocols.

Modbus TCP/IP Server for Altera FPGA provides an optimized Switch IP Core and a Communication Processor for the Integration of Modbus TCP/IP and other industrial networks into field devices. It uses the same API for all supported protocols.

PROFIBUS Slave for Altera FPGA provides an optimized PROFIBUS DP IP Core and a Communication Processor for the Integration of PROFIBUS DP and other industrial networks into field devices. It uses the same API for all supported protocols.

The PROFIBUS DP Master Subsystem for Alter FPGAs integrates all components required for implementing a complete PROFIBUS DP Class1 and Class2 Master based on FPGA technology. Thus, no specific fieldbus controller ASIC is needed in addition.
