comX

Releases

The Communication Module comX runs through a periodical system test. Usually this will be done with the release of a new product download package, which contains firmware, device driver, configuration tool, auxiliary tools and documentation. The comprehensive tests will ensure an optimal interaction between all components and results in a fixed assignment between current hardware, firmware, device driver, boot loader and configuration tool.

If you are using a different combination and you are facing problems, please contact your local distributor or Hilscher support.

1) With protocol-specific fieldbus connector on board.

2) Fieldbus interface via pin strip to the base board. Fieldbus connector needs to be implemented on the base board.

3) comX 52 is a compatilble drop-in replacement of comX 10 for fieldbus slave only

4) Special EtherCAT Slave with Rotary Switches acc. to ETG.5003-1

Legend

1) If supported, the integrated WebServer is activated as default. Can be deactivated via Firmware TAG-List.

2) Instead of NDIS EtherCAT supports EoE

3) The NDIS functionality is deactivated as default, but can be activated via Firmware TAG-List.
   Real-Time Ethernet will be offered to the host in Channel 0, NDIS and TCP socket in channel 1 and in IoT communication in channel 2.
   Channel 1 (NDIS and TCP socket interface) and Channel 2 (IOT communication) can only be accessed in SPM host interface mode. In DPM host interface mode only Channel 0 (RTE) can physically be adressed

4) LWIP TCP stack is used, which has a different API (socket API) than the Hilscher  TCP stack.

5) Hilscher  TCP stack is used, which has a different API (HIL TCP API) than LWIP TCP stack.

6) NDIS and TCP socket interface can only be accessed in SPM host interface mode, because only Channel 0 can be physically adressed in DPM mode.
