Beijing, China — Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced the addition of the POWERLINK Real-Time Industrial Ethernet protocol to the RapIDTM Platform network interface developed by Analog Devices' deterministic Ethernet technology division (formerly Innovasic, Inc.) . With this pre-tested and certified complete solution, system designers can add Industrial Ethernet to existing or new products with the fastest speed and lowest cost. Through the RapID Platform network interface, system designers have the flexibility to embed the RapID Platform as a module in a field device application, or to fully embed the components of the module into the board of the field device. Regardless of the method used, the RapID Platform provides flexible and reliable management of the host processor's industrial protocols and network traffic while eliminating development risks, which have been recognized by previous users.

Jordon Woods, head of deterministic Ethernet technology at Analog Devices, said: "Industrial automation applications are moving from serial fieldbus to Ethernet connectivity, and industrial IoT is gaining in popularity. Industrial automation systems require highly reliable real-time Ethernet connectivity. "The RapID Platform network interface with POWERLINK protocol can quickly provide a number of innovative options for ADI customers' current Industrial Ethernet applications, while creating the industry's best roadmap to meet future connectivity needs such as industrial IoT. â€
More information on the POWERLINK-enabled RapID Platform network interfaceThe RapID Platform POWERLINK network interface works as a controlled node (CN) and includes a POWERLINK object dictionary that provides a family of objects for standardized device configurations and manufacturer-custom configurations. The network interface leverages these features to support standard devices such as I/O modules, encoders, and motor drives, as well as custom devices. In this way, the network interface can be easily customized to provide all the data generated by the application or used by POWERLINK. In addition, all parameters defined in the POWERLINK object dictionary can be accessed via SDO communication during the asynchronous phase of POWERLINK. The network interface also provides an embedded web server that uses the configuration of transport IP frames to allow users to view network parameters and I/O data through the customizable web server content during the asynchronous phase of POWERLINK.
Product quotation and supplyThe RapID Platform POWERLINK network interface now provides engineering samples. The fully certified production version will be available in June 2017. When ordering this network interface, you can select the UART host interface (RapID-NI V2011) or the parallel host interface (RapID-NI V2111).
