Easy Hardware and Software Integration The RapID Network Interface can be integrated into a design as either a module or an embedded design. As a module, the RapID Network Interface plugs into a board using standard mm pitch through-hole pins. When designing-in the module, hardware integration is as easy as connecting Power/Ground/Reset and interfacing the Host processor to the UART or 16-bit Parallel interface. The Ethernet physical interface is ready to plug into the network. Software for the module is provided as firmware that is resident on the flash. As an embedded design, the RapID Network Interface connects to a board design using the schematics provided. Also provided are the Bill of Materials and example layouts to minimize the hardware design effort. Software for the embedded design is provided as firmware that is downloaded to the flash.

EtherNet/IP RapID Platform Network Interface

Connectivity Solution for 2-Port Adapters

The RapID Platform Network Interface is a complete EtherNet/IP Industrial Ethernet interface available as a module or embedded design

The interface contains everything needed including the communications controller, protocol stacks, Flash, RAM, and analog driver so the user does not need to know anything about the EtherNet/IP protocol. All EtherNet/IP capabilities are encapsulated on this small form factor interface, and can be integrated into any type of automation equipment from complex control to a simple sensor or actuator.

EtherNet/IP communication has been certified by ODVA, passed several ODVA-sponsored Plugfests, and tested on the bus with numerous applications to provide problem-free operation with virtually any EtherNet/IP controller.

Easy Hardware and Software Integration

The RapID Network Interface can be integrated into a design as either a module or an embedded design. As a module, the RapID Network Interface plugs into a board using standard mm pitch through-hole pins. When designing-in the module, hardware integration is as easy as connecting Power/Ground/Reset and
interfacing the Host processor to the UART or 16-bit Parallel interface. The Ethernet physical interface is ready to plug into the network. Software for the module is provided as firmware that is resident on the flash.

As an embedded design, the RapID Network Interface connects to a board design using the schematics provided.
