November 22, 2010 – Innovasic Semiconductor announces RapID Platform for EtherNet/IP adapters and Profinet devices. RapID supports EtherNet/IP November 2010 release and Profinet version 2.2, and can be downloaded directly from the Innovasic website for a risk-free, no-cost evaluation. This is not a demo version – it is fully functional and pre-tested for EtherNet/IP and Profinet conformance including electronic schematics, bill of materials, and layout files, as well as all necessary software, stacks, and development environment. All software is royalty-free with no hidden fees.
The RapID Platform is based on Innovasic’s fido1100 communication controller and can be used as a “network processor” alongside any host microcontroller. It can also be used as a standalone solution with the customer’s application running directly on the RapID Platform. The schematic has been carefully designed to provide robust, long-life, industrial-class performance at the lowest possible bill of material (BOM) cost. The Ethernet physical interface includes protection circuitry, bicolor LEDs, and magnetics integrated in the connector. Cycle times down to 1 ms are achieved utilizing the fido1100’s unique deterministic hardware and software architecture.
