Profinet IRT Fibre Optic Card

HMS Industrial Networks has expanded the IXXAT INpact multi-protocol card series with a PCIe mini variant for PROFINET IRT Fibre Optic, designed for secure data transmission in harsh environments. The IXXAT INpact enables easy implementation of a PROFINET IRT Fiber Optic Slave interface and can be used in compact industrial PCs as well as in mobile devices. Typical use cases are coupling of subsystems with superordinate networks, visualisation of process data on human machine interfaces (HMIs) as well as data acquisition in PC-based process devices. IXXAT INpact is fully compliant with the requirements of the AIDA (Automation initiative of German automobile manufacturers) for a PROFINET interface. PROFINET IRT via fibre optic meets the highest requirements for interference immunity and data transmission. It is often used in critical areas in the automotive field, e.g., in robotic cells for car body construction, in automated welding systems and other areas with high electromagnetic interferences. The new PROFINET IRT Fibre Optic card is the newest member of the IXXAT INpact series which supports a variety of Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus protocols, such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Powerlink, Modbus-TCP and PROFIBUS. The multi-network capability of INpact is based on the proven Anybus CompactCom technology from HMS – used within millions of devices globally. HMS Industrial Networks is the leading independent supplier of products for industrial communication including remote management. It develops and manufactures solutions for connecting automation devices and systems to industrialnetworks under the Netbiter, Anybus and IXXAT brands.
