PC CARDS

cifX PC cards are the easiest and fastest way to integrate PC-based devices into an automated environment. Classic application examples can be found in industrial PCs for plant or local machine control, HMI (Human Machine Interface) panels for machine monitoring and operation, as well as specific solutions such as optical inspection systems, test benches, simulation systems, and robotic solutions. Our market-leading PC card portfolio includes all relevant form factors – from the smallest PC cards in the automation market for compact devices to classic formats such as 19-inch systems.

• PCI

The PCI bus is an established standard in automation and is widely used in many areas. Our PCI cards can be used universally for all fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet protocols. More.

• PCI Express

PCI Express is the successor to PCI technology and offers an increased data throughput. Our PCI Express cards can be used universally for all fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet protocols. More.

GATEWAYS

Gateways are used for transferring and converting data between 2 industrial automation networks of the same or different type. They offer a simple and cost-effective solution for any type of data conversion, whether used with Fieldbus, Ethernet, or Real-Time Ethernet systems, or a combination thereof. This enables the efficient integration of devices and plant components into existing structures and the connection of systems and network components.
Hilscher's wide range of gateways offers a suitable solution for every application, from cost-optimized devices for simple and dedicated implementation to flexible high-end devices for demanding and individual conversion tasks.

• LAN Gateways

The netHOST LAN gateway is used to control your fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet systems through the conventional Ethernet. More.

• Entry Level Gateways

The netTAP 50 entry-level gateway is a cost-optimized gateway for simple conversions in your industrial automation networks. More.

• Real-Time Ethernet Gateways

The gateway for your Real-Time Ethernet networks! With over 25 combinations, netTAP151 offers the appropriate conversion for each of your systems. More.

• Real-Time Ethernet Switches

netSWITCH enables you to connect conventional Ethernet systems with Real-Time Ethernet networks. More.

• PROFIBUS/PROFINET connectors

PROFIBUS/PROFINET connectors enable you to integrate each PROFIBUS DP slave into a higher-level PROFINET network, or simply program your SIMATIC S7 without expensive CP communication processors. More.

• Fieldbus Gateways

Use the netTAP 100 fieldbus gateway to implement sophisticated conversions in industrial automation networks. More.

• SmartWire-DT Gateways

Gateways connect your SmartWire-DT devices and components into higher-level Real-Time Ethernet networks—saving you time with a flexible modular design. Save development costs and rely on intelligent wired solutions with SmartWire-DT and Hilscher. More.
