The CIFX/netX device driver is a kernel-mode driver that runs in Ring 0 of the operating system and supports the Windows plug-and play mechanisms.

ISA, PCI and PCI/e components are supported and can be combined arbitrarily using an unlimited number of components.

The user application uses a Windows API DLL to communicate with the driver. The DLL provides a simple C function interface (CIFX-API) and can be linked statically or dynamically to an application. Both driver and API DLL are available for 32/64Bit Windows systems.

 

The driver’s function interface is fieldbus system independent and includes functions for the recognition of installed hardware, reading system information, initializing and parametrizing field bus systems, exchanging cyclical and acyclical data and reading status information, as well as time-monitoring and watchdog function.

Requirements

  • cifX board or NXSB-PCA / NXSB100 / NXHX board or NX-PCA-PCI / NXHX
