Processors for Industrial Ethernet
Industry-leading technologies making the driving experience safer, greener, more fun.
Multiple protocols
Supports 30+ industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, and more
Build on your foundation
Extend your existing solution to Industrial Ethernet while reusing your hardware and software platform
Versatility
Easy migration from existing EtherCAT® ASICs for more performance, scalability and software upgradability
Programmable-Realtime Unit Industrial Communications Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) features:
- One device enables multiple communications protocols:
- EtherCAT, Profibus, Profinet, Sercos, EtherNet/IP, POWERLINK, and more Supports Master and Slave
- Simply change firmware to move from one protocol to the next
- TI industrial communications solutions are fully tested, certified, and supported
- Software available with PRU-ICSS Industrial Software Kit
In addition to Industrial Ethernet, Fieldbus, interface, and redundancy protocols are available for the PRU-ICSS, including certified solutions for EtherCAT, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus, PowerLink, Sercos III, etc.
