With the rise of Industrial IoT, the topic Security became a key technology for cyber-physical systems. For that purpose, Hilscher developed the next generation of network controllers based on the success of the netX 51/52.

The netX 90 is the first building block of this new family. It convinces with its high integration density, optimized performance, improved power loss and is perfectly suitable for industrial applications with smaller form factors.

The increasing complexity of System-on-Chips (SoC) and the enormous costs for software development and maintenance, associated with multiprotocol-capable real-time industrial communication, turned into market requests that promote solution-oriented concepts.

The perfectly harmonized interplay of hardware and software reduces the development time with the netX 90 and enables a faster “time to market”.

• Energy-efficient design for the extended temperature range

• "Secure by design" by integrated crypto core

Ultracompact slave interface for secure field and cloud connectivity

netRAPID 90 is the rapid and secure alternative to a slave interface developed by the customer. The netX90 Chip Carrier is soldered to the host system in the SMD production process like a standard QFP part.

In addition to the proven and flexible multiprotocol processor for all common communication and IIoT protocols, netRAPID 90 also has a Cortex M4 application processor and is available in different memory sizes . Thus, netRAPD 90 is the ideal communication platform for customer-specific solutions with an integrated application – in one single design.

netRAPID 90 is available as a ready-to-use communication module with a fixed scope of functions and a preloaded protocol firmware and as a flexible programming platform to combine communication with application and customer-specific pin assignment.

Due to the automated Hilscher production process, netRAPID 90 can also be delivered preloaded as a service – ready-to-use with customer and application-specific content.

Owing to an integrated Crypto-Core, netRAPID 90 is well-prepared for future security functions, e.g. TLS for CIP security or secure boot as a protection against malware attacks. Thus, netRAPID 90 already is the ideal basis for secure field and cloud connectivity.

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.

Our 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.

Our gateways are available in 2 different versions. The netHOST, netTAP 50, netTAP 100, netTAP 151 and netSWITCH variants are ideal for installation in control cabinets or distributor boxes. They can be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN rail according to IEC 60715 and are protected to IP20 requirements. Our netLink devices, on the other hand, are connectors designed for direct mounting, making them both very easy to implement and cost-effective.

From retrofitting existing systems to the seamless integration of sensors into real-time communication networks, IO-Link is the standard for industry 4.0.

The wireless netFIELD IO-Link wireless technology allows you to wirelessly integrate complex sensors or actuators into Real-Time Ethernet networks. Reducing cables accelerates device integration time and reduces the risk of physical damage such as cable breaks. Devices also have increased freedom of movement, which is especially relevant for robotic arms or autonomous transport vehicles. At the same time you benefit from the entire Hilscher ecosystem with regular firmware updates, pre-certified protocol stacks and our many years of experience in industrial communication.

• REDUCTION OF INSTALLATION EFFORTS
  The wireless point-to-point communication technology enables the cyclic exchange of digital input and output process data between the Master and its associated devices.
  
  
• INCREASE OF COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
  Traditional hardwired IO-Link masters only offer eight ports in most cases, half the amount of Hilschers Wireless Master.
  
  
• PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE SUPPORT
  Hilscher provides comprehensive software tooling such as an IO-Link configuration tool.
  
  
• ACCESSIBILITY OF SPACE LIMITED AREAS
  Sensors and actuators only require a 24 V power supply to transfer data via Hilschers IO-Link Wireless Bridge to the master and vice versa.
  
  
• HIGHER RANGE OF MOTION
  Utilizing wireless technology for data transmission minimizes movement restrictions for industrial robots, cobots and other machines.
  
  
• ALLEVIATE DOWNTIMES
  Wireless data connections will not break due to physical stress as a result of moving robot arms for example.
