PROFINET Controller for Intel FPGA

Integration of PROFINET into Industrial Controllers using Intel FPGA

PROFINET Controller for Intel 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.
