As part of its expansion of platform solutions for the R-IN32M3 series of industrial Ethernet communication systems-on-chip (SoC), Renesas Electronics announced the availability of its new Remote I/O Trial Kit, a complete hardware and software reference solution for development of remote I/O devices typically used for I/O monitoring, communication and industrial process control. The new solution supports the EtherCAT protocol.
The kit consists of not only an actual remote I/O module but also software, documentation and circuit schematics. Carefully engineered to reduce bill of materials costs and eliminate concerns for safety standards and certification procedures from industrial Ethernet communication protocol organisations, Renesas estimates that this solution can reduce the number of process steps, from the start of development to certification procedures, by approximately 60% or more.
Since R-IN32M3 SoCs support protocols including EtherCAT, CC-Link IE, Ethernet/IP and Profinet, it is easy for designers to develop remote I/O products that support multiple protocols in the same hardware structure. The optimised board in the trial kit is based on the R-IN32M3-EC device, which features integrated memory and two Ethernet PHYs, which serves to aid development of a more compact system at lower cost.
