FPGA-based Hardware Integration for Field Devices ? Chip Solution
The main advantage of FPGA technology is that it combines flexible adaptation to specific application requirements with economical considerations. At the same time, it offers protection of your intellectual property. FPGA technology enables device manufacturers to enhance existing devices with additional communication protocols. It also enables them to design new devices with a flexible communications interface based on a powerful, yet economical platform.
Today, Softing offers protocol software for PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus/TCP that is already optimized for various operating systems that run within Altera?s NIOS-II-Kernel.
Softing?s RT Ethernet protocol software integrated with the Altera Cyclone III FPGA represents the most economical solution for high volume products. This FPGA is a cost-effective, yet high performance Ethernet controller that, together with Softing?s protocol stacks, represents an ideal choice for designing a robust RT Ethernet device. In addition, Softing\'s RT Ethernet stacks offer support for the integrated switch-core of the FPGA, thus eliminating the need for external switching components.
