Hilscher CIF 104-DNM

Description

Technical Specifications:

• Product Reference: 1071.510

• Form Factor: PC/104 (stackable boards using the ISA standard)

• Protocol: DeviceNet

• Function: Master

• Lifecycle Status: End of Life

Functional Features:

• DeviceNet Master Operation: Supports DeviceNet master or slave operation

• Data Exchange: Enables data exchange between PC and fieldbus devices

• Dual-Port Memory: Provides dual-port memory for data access

• Configuration: Configuration via System Configurator SyCon

• Unified Application Interface: Identical application interface for all fieldbuses

• Single Driver: One driver for all fieldbuses and all card types

• Single Configuration Software: One configuration software for all products

Principle of Operation:
The CIF card operates as a communication coprocessor that handles the DeviceNet protocol stack independently from the host PC. The host PC accesses the card through dual-port memory, where data is exchanged between the PC and the DeviceNet network. This architecture offloads communication processing from the host CPU, enabling deterministic real-time communication.

Advantages and Strengths:

• Unified interface standard for all fieldbus systems

• Available for all major fieldbus systems with PC/104 or PCI buses in Standard, PC/104+, PCI-104, Compact PCI, PMC, or PCMCIA formats

• Proven market standard with over 10 years of successful application

Applicable Industries:
Industrial automation, embedded solutions, products with no particular size requirements.

Model Series: CIF Series

Installation Requirements:
PC/104 boards are stackable using the ISA standard; when combined, they can form complex computer systems. Cards available with integrated or remote network interfaces.

Usage Precautions:
This product has reached End of Life status. Recommended alternative: CIFX 104-DN-R (PC/104 – DeviceNet Master).
