Via the integrated webserver, important functionalities like firmware download, authentification and IO-Link port configuration are possible. As part of the technology platform Hilscher combines established netX 90 technology with Hilscher’s new netIOL chip – an intelligent IO-Link transceiver with additional diagnostic features to detect plant errors, e.g. voltages and currents from each IO-Link pin, on-chip temperature and supply voltage. In addition, for digital inputs an adjustable input filter for 3, 15 or 20ms can be used.
With netFIELD Device technology platform, customers profit from the entire Hilscher ecosystem with regular pre-qualified firmware updates, pre-certified protocol stacks and optional workshops and software modifications.
