Information and Data Security Take all usual measures for information and data security, in particular for PC Cards cifX with Ethernet technology. Hilscher explicitly points out that a device with access to a public network (Internet) must be installed behind a firewall or only be accessible via a secure connection such as an encrypted VPN connection.
Description The PC cards cifX are communication interfaces of the cifX product family of Hilscher on the basis of the communication controller netX 100 for the Real-Time Ethernet or fieldbus communication. Depending of the loaded firmware, the protocol specific PC card cifX proceeds the communication of the corresponding Real-Time Ethernet or fieldbus system.
Table 33: Slot for the PC Cards cifX Compact PCI, Mini PCI, Mini PCIe, Mini PCIe (2 channel), PCI-104 X1, X2 corresponds to the Hilscher convention for „interface“ on the top or the bottom side of the PC Card cifX.
• For the operating systems Linux, Windows CE, VxWorks, QNX and IntervalZero RTX ™ you can buy Device Driver at the company Hilscher Gesellschaft für Systemautomation mbH http://www.hilscher.com/. 2. The configuration software SYCON.net or alternatively the simple Slave configuration tool netX Configuration Tool must be installed or another application program by which the PC card cifX (Slave) can be parameterized.
Vendor ID, Product Code, Serial Number, Revision Number, Output and Input Data Bytes. If the XML file Hilscher cifX RE ECS V2.2.x.xml is use/updated, the firmware with the version 2.2.x must be use/updated. The loadable firmware supports for the number of cyclic input data and for cyclic output data in total up to 400 bytes.
Table 167: PCI IDs PC Cards cifX on the PCI Bus 10.3 Supported PCI Bus Commands From the following table you can see which PCI bus commands are supported by the Hilscher PC Cards cifX Compact PCI, Mini PCI, Mini PCI Express and PCI-104. C/BE3#...
Cards cifX on page 172 (and also the identical values in the data sheet cifX and on the ‘Hilscher Site’) are rounded and unified for the respective types of card. The depth of the PC cards Compact PCI (CIFX 80) has been equated to the rounded width of the front panel.
(e.g. PCI Interface card products) only as part of a machine or machine line or as spare part for such a machine. In case of questions, contact Hilscher and/or your nearest ETG representative. The ETG Vendor-ID policies apply.
