EtherNet/IP Adapter Subsystem for Altera-Intel FPGA

• Simplifies EtherNet/IP connectivity for field devices with Altera-Intel FPGA
• Optimized switch IP core and pre-installed software handle the entire protocol
• EtherNet/IP and other industrial networks are supported by the same API
• Fast and robust operation by hardware/logic support and redundancy features

Easy-to-Integrate EtherNet/IP Adapter 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

• Compliant to current EtherNet/IP specifications
• Can act as “black channel” for safety applications
• Media redundancy supported (DLR)

Fast and Robust Operation

• Industrial switch IP core with cut-through forwarding and filtering (firewall)
• Data handling in software or hardware (DMA)
• Device application software is separated from protocol software
• Cycle times down to 100 μs
