Innovasic will demonstrate how time-critical control data can be effectively managed on an Ethernet network using technologies that are being adopted and evaluated by the IEEE standards association for 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). By using its fido5000 Real-time Ethernet Multiprotocol (REM) switch chip, Innovasic will demonstrate scheduled traffic (802.1Qbv), time synchronisation (802.1AS-Rev) and ingress policing (802.1Qci).

Innovasic has announced updates to its fido5200 REM Switch chip and the RapID Platform Network Interface solution, supporting EtherCAT. The fido5200 REM Switch chip is configured via software driver as an EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC) that supports cycle times down to 12.5µs. The RapID Platform – EtherCAT Network Interface is delivered as a module or embedded design that supports cycle times down to 250µs.

The RapID Platform Network Interface with the fido5000 REM Switch chip, manufactured by Innovasic, has been certified to PROFINET v2.31 for Class B and Class C devices. Conforming to Net Load Class III, the interface ensures cycle times down to 250µs are not affected by network traffic. 

Innovasic is pleased to announce the RapID Platform with the new fido5000 REM Switch chip has been certified to EtherNet/IP CT11 for beacon-based DLR devices.  Additional net load testing has been performed by Innovasic to ensure cycle times down to 2ms are immune to the effects of network traffic.  Certifications for EtherCAT, SERCOS III, and POWERLINK will be announced over the next few months.

Less than one month on from its introduction, Innovasic has revealed that the latest version of its RapID Platform Network Interface for PROFINET RT and IRT connectivity has been certified for both Class B and Class C. It is possible to design in PROFINET with the RapID Platform and take advantage of seamless support for version v2.3.

Providing cycle times down to 250µs, Innovasic announces an updated version of its RapID Platform Network Interface for PROFINET IRT and RT connectivity. Cycle times down to 31.25µs are supported on the same hardware platform as soon as the high performance profile is released by PROFIBUS PROFINET International.

Innovasic announces a new version of its RapID Platform Network Interface for PROFIBUS connectivity. The RapID Platform - PROFIBUS Network Interface supports all data rates up to 12 Mbits/sec and is DP-V1 certified by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International according to the latest test specification for PROFIBUS DP slaves.

Production units are now available for the IA18xER embedded processor. These devices are form, fit, and function compatible with the Am186ER and Am188ER devices. The IA18xER is capable of operating as a 186 or 188 processor (16-bit or 8-bit) and is available in 100-lead PQFP and 100-lead LQFP RoHS-compliant packages.

Innovasic announces its RapID Platform EtherNet/IP Network Interface with beacon-based DLR has passed ODVA conformance testing. This testing confirms Innovasic’s solution supports beacon rates down to 100 µs enabling fault recovery and ring restore times of less than 10 ms.

Innovasic announces a new version of its RapID Platform Network Interface for Industrial Ethernet connectivity that supports high performance Device Level Ring networks. DLR is the fault recovery protocol endorsed by ODVA for network ring topologies. The RapID Platform - EtherNet/IP Network Interface with DLR supports beacon rates down to 100 µs enabling fault recovery and ring restore times of less than 10 ms.

Innovasic announces that it has enhanced its RapID Platform Network Interface to achieve PROFINET Net Load Class III performance. Achieving Net Load Class III means Innovasic’s solution conforms to the PROFINET standard even under the highest network load conditions.

Innovasic announces it has launched the fido2100, a new Industrial Ethernet switch for high performance Device Level Ring networks. DLR beacon rates down to 100 µs support fault recovery and ring restore times of less than 10 ms.

Innovasic announces that its RapID Platform Network Interface has been certified to PROFINET Class B and Net Load Class III. Achieving Net Load Class III means Innovasic’s solution conforms to the PROFINET standard even under the highest network load conditions.

Innovasic announces a new and improved version of its RapID Platform Network Interface for Industrial Ethernet connectivity. PROFINET Class B, EtherNet/IP and ModbusTCP can all be supported without changing hardware or changing the host processor software. This means host communication with the Network Interface remains the same regardless of the protocol, saving significant development time

Innovasic is pleased to announce that Advantech has selected the Innovasic RapID Platform solution with the fido1100 Communication Controller to provide Profinet Class B connectivity in their new ADAM-6100PN series of real-time Profinet I/O modules for factory automation.
