RELEASED      

Date2021-03-08
VersionV1.1.0.2
Summary
  • Update to latest released firmware stacks & tools
  • Discontinuation of NRP 10-CCS & NRP 10-DPS
  • Stop support for VARAN client on NRP 52 & NRP 51
  • Phase out of EIS V2 & PNS V3 on NRP 52 & NRP 51

Note: We reserve the right to make technical changes without prior notice.


Phase Out Information

PNS V3 & EIS V2 phase out


Due to development consolidation and efficiency improvements, we will phase out PROFINET IO-Device generation V3 and EthernetIP Adapter generation V2 by end of 2021.
Means by this date no features will be added anymore and there will be no support of latest test bundles for certification.

Replacement will be PROFINET IO-Device generation V4 and EthernetIP Adapter generation V3, which are available in this package.
We strongly recommend always using the latest firmware versions, to have full feature support and to stay compliant with latest test bundles for certification.

Please make sure to test the new firmware generations in your application, to allow a smooth transition.

Legend

1) Shared pins, means either SYNC 0/1 or Diagnostic UART can be used. SYNC 0/1 is activated as default. Can be changed via SSBL TAG-List.

2) The integrated WebServer is activated as default, but can be deactivated via Firmware TAG-List.

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.

7) OPC UA Server and MQTT Client can only be accessed in SPM host interface mode, because only Channel 0 can be physically adressed in DPM mode.

To meet the different requirements of an embedded Design, two versions of netRAPID for Real-Time Ethernet will be offered

NRP 51-RE

 Extended Memory

  • Optimized for maximum functional possibilities
  • Without magnetics; need to be placed on the customer design
  • With SDRAM
  • DPM and SPM host interface mode

Enhanced communication & IOT-Ready

  • Real-Time Ethernet Slave communication
  • USB diagnostic
  • Integrated WebServer for firmware update (PNS, EIS, OMB, S3S, PLS)
  • In SPM mode:
    • TCP socket interface to the host
      (EIS, PNS, S3S)
    • Raw Ethernet (NDIS) interface to the host
      (EIS, PNS, S3S)
    • Integrated OPC UA server and MQTT client
      (PNS, EIS)

NRP 52-RE

 Minimum space

  • Optimized for minimum space requirements
  • With magnetics
  • Without SDRAM; sole usage of the netX 52 internal RAM
  • DPM and SPM host interface mode

Pure communication

  • Real-Time Ethernet Slave communication
  • USB diagnostic
Host interface channel structure of NRP 51-RE


Note1: Real-Time Ethernet will be offered to the host in Channel 0, NDIS and TCP socket in channel 1 and in future 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 can physically be adressed. There is no access to Channel 1 and Channel 2.


Note2:  netRAPID 51-RE owns 4 MAC addresses (MAC0 to MAC3), which will be provided per default from the Hilscher MAC address pool.

            MAC0 will be used for RTE communication in channel 0. MAC1 and MAC2 are reserved for Real-Time Ethernet. MAC3 will be used for Raw Ethernet.

            TCP socket in channel 1 and future IoT communication in channel 2 will use the same MAC0 and IP as the RTE communication.

            Raw Ethernet in channel 1 will use MAC3. IP address will be provided from the host application.
