From Profinet to EtherCAT, SERCOS III or Ethernet/IP within seconds
Once created, most fieldbus applications remain unchanged – the bus topology rarely changes and the protocol never does.
The situation is quite different on test benches where devices with different bus interfaces are tested. Unless separate hardware and software is to be installed for each bus protocol at great expense, the only remaining option is to change the bus.
This is no problem for Hilscher’s cifX cards: simply change the firmware and bus project using the provided configuration software, and the new bus is quickly operational. While this is a great feature, it’s not always practical on a test bench, as it can be time-consuming and carries the risk of individual errors.
The perfect solution is the combination of LabVIEW with Hilscher cards and our expertise. Our LabVIEW library enables automatic bus switching, transferring the configuration within seconds. With this integration, communication restarts immediately, and the bus is up and running seamlessly.
