Besides our comprehensive company webpage in German and English language, we created a new internet platform for international customers which was launched in mid-June.

The new, multilingual technology pages provide an overview of the IXXAT product range in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Swedish and Japanese language.

This enables visitors to get a brief description of the desired product in their mother language, with the possibility to switch to a detailed product description in English language.

By using IXXAT’s Powerlink FPGA IP Core, the Powerlink Managing Node (MN) functionality can be implemented rapidly and cost effective into any kind of host system.

The major advantages of the FPGA based implementation are the flexibility, the vendor independency, the reduced development time and due to this the low development costs.
Furthermore, the possibility of reconfiguration of the FPGA solution allows the implementation of various real-time Ethernet based protocols on the same hardware platform.

Besides the Powerlink functionality, the MN IP Core includes a standard Ethernet controller, an Ethernet hub and a PCI controller for the host communication.

Cooperation of IXXAT and Altera at FPGA based solutions for Industrial Ethernet Protocols

Due to the benefits of high performance and low cost, the use of Ethernet-based communication protocols, like PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Powerlink or SERCOS III, is growing rapidly in the industrial market. However, despite the fact that they are all Ethernet based, many of the protocols in use today are incompatible, leaving the developer with the problem of how to cost effectively support multiple standards.
