IXXAT is a leading supplier of products and services for the data communica- tion in industrial and mobile systems.
For the area of industrial data com- munication we offer products and ser- vices for CAN (CANopen, DeviceNet) and Real-Time Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, POWERLINK, EtherCAT, SERCOS III and others).
For usage of CAN, FlexRay and LIN in automotive and other mobile systems we offer development services, protocol software (CAN diagnosis protocols, SAE J1939) as well as analysis and test tools.
Our product range includes PC interface boards for all common interface stan- dards, topology components and mo- dules for the device connection. Furthermore we offer protocol software and tools for analysis, configuration and test for all data communication stan- dards supported by IXXAT. We support our customers at the conceptual design and development of their data communication solutions with hardware and software development services as well as training.

| Module for Powerlink, Profinet, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP |
With the "Industrial Ethernet Module" from IXXAT devices can quickly and cost-efficiently be adapted to various Industrial Ethernet technologies.
The module is based on an FPGA from Altera and beside an integrated 32-bit CPU and an Ethernet Controller it comprises also the PHYs and th RJ45 jacks. Depending on the implemented Industrial Ethernet protocol, the Ethernet interface is either single routed (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP) or double routed (Powerlink, EtherCAT).
Using the disclosed programming interface to the Host-CPU (Host-API in C sourcecode) the vendor can connect his device easily using SPI or a standardised µC-Interface. The Host-API encapsulates the functions of the real-time industrial Ethernet protocol running on the modul thus the application can be developed independant of the underlaying network. Additionally protocol specific features can also be used by the application.
With the optional available baseboard the modul can directly be connected to processor modules from Phytec (phyCORE-XC161und phyCORE-LPC2294) or Spectrum Digital (eZdsp F2812). Therewith this solutions is very suitable for rapid prototyping.

| New CAN interface for PCI express systems |
The new iPC-I XC16/PCIe was specially developed to cover demanding CAN applications like industrial control or automotive test stand.
The interface supports PCI express, and can be easily installed by Plug & Play. Some of the features offered by the on-board 16 bit microcontroller include filtering, pre-processing, low latency, time triggered transmission or high precision time-stamping of CAN messages.The interface can also be used as Master device in CANopen systems with a large number of nodes. The iPC-I XC16/PCIe has two CAN channels and an optional galvanic isolation.
In combination with the CAN driver (VCI, part of delivery), the iPC-I XC16/PCIe allows for the seamless integration of PC- supported CAN applications. In addition, the iPC-I XC16/PCIe is well-suited for use with the IXXAT analysis and configuration tools.
