PROFIBUS DP Slave for Intel FPGA

Integration of PROFIBUS DP into Field Devices using Intel (Altera) FPGA

The PROFIBUS DP Slave IP Core and the protocol software executed inside the FPGA comprise all digital functions required for implementing a PROFIBUS DP slave. Thus, no specific fieldbus controller ASIC is needed in addition.

&nb

Minimum Development Effort

  • Combination of all components required for implementing a PROFIBUS DP Slave into a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
  • PROFIBUS DP bus control logic implemented as loadable IP Core
  • PROFIBUS DP protocol stack ready to be used on soft core processor within FPGA
  • Including PROFIBUS versions DP (exchange of cyclic data and diagnosis) and DP-V1 (acyclic data exchange and extended diagnosis)

One API For Quick Integration

  • Simple Device Application Interface (SDAI) designed as efficient protocol abstraction layer to use different protocols with same application
  • PROFIBUS, PROFINET IRT, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, POWERLINK and Modbus TCP using the same API
  • Device application software running on second processor inside the FPGA or on separate external host processor

Space-saving and future-proof implementation

  • Provision of complete bus control logic for accessing PROFIBUS DP network
  • Handling of all time-critical parts of PROFIBUS DP Data Link Layer and cyclic data exchange
  • No dependency on fieldbus controller ASIC and its vendor

Flexible, scalable and low-maintenance

  • Various protocols can be used alternatively or in parallel, also with multiple channels
  • Easily extendible by customer-specific functions thanks to FPGA technology
  • Easy integration of future versions
  • Uniform license for all protocols
