RapID Platform for Industrial Ethernet

RapID Platform

Profinet and EtherNet/IP Connectivity Solution

Industrial Ethernet is fast becoming the de facto standard for connectivity from the control level down to the device level. Manufacturers are moving quickly to add Industrial Ethernet interfaces to systems and devices. Which Industrial Ethernet solution is right for your product?

The Answer: The RapID™ Industrial Ethernet Platform from Innovasic Semiconductor takes the risk out of adding Industrial Ethernet to your product.

This “all-in-one” solution enables fast integration of EtherNet/IP, Profinet or both, so that your products get to market quickly and at the lowest possible development and production cost. The RapID Platform is a complete design with software that you can integrate directly into your products. Plus, there are no royalties or hidden costs to worry about.

The RapID™ Platform uses the Innovasic fido1100® chip – a single chip that supports EtherNet/IP, Profinet and TCP/IP Ethernet with no changes to the hardware design – only a firmware change! So a single circuit board design enables your product to support BOTH EtherNet/IP and Profinet. Future versions will support Profibus, DeviceNet and other industrial protocols.

Key Benefits

The Fastest Time-To-Market and Lowest Cost Solution
