FPGA-based support for industrial Ethernet protocols

22 August 2007 Programmable Logic

Altera has announced FPGA-based support for Ethernet communications protocols used in industrial automation applications, including ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus-IDA, EtherCAT, SERCOS III Interface, and Ethernet Powerlink. Intellectual property (IP) cores for these key communications protocols can now be implemented on Altera's low-cost Cyclone series FPGAs.

The Industrial Ethernet IP cores enable designers to implement any of the standards on a single board. This not only reduces form factor but saves time. System OEMs can now add industry-standard networking capabilities to their automation products cost-effectively, while retaining FPGA reprogrammable design flexibility in their systems.

To support Cyclone series FPGA-based industrial designs, IXXAT, one of Altera's IP partners, is offering an Industrial Ethernet development kit. The kit consists of a Cyclone-based reference design and evaluation board, schematics and executables for the FPGA bitstream, including a protocol stack, MAC, TCP/IP stack, interface application and a host application program interface (API) in source code.
