Hillscher CIFX 4000 surpasses multi-protocol support capabilities.
Published2018.03.09 14:47To provide a solution for the market, Hilscher is developing a cifX PC card based on the new netX 4000 automation controller. The netX 4000 is the newest member of the netX controller family. It features up to four ports for Industrial Ethernet, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, an integrated PCI Express core, and an additional ARM Cortex A9 processor for Linux-based applications. It is an encrypted unit with various features, including security features. With the dedicated Cortex®-R7 communication processor and the xC subsystem built into it, the netX 4000 also supports all existing fieldbus technologies, including Real-Time Ethernet and TSN.
In addition to the netX 4000, the CIFX 4000 PC card is also suitable for automation and Industry 4.0 applications. From the outset, Hilscher has introduced a 4-channel PCI Express card for combining all Real-Time Ethernet protocols as master or slave. It also offers standard and low-profile PCI Express cards that integrate Real-Time Ethernet communication and OPC-UA in a single device. The CIFX 4000 is integrated into the Hilscher platform strategy, providing applications with the same user interface as the existing cifX product family.
As a leading supplier of PC cards for industrial communications, Hilscher offers a comprehensive portfolio of cifX PC cards, ranging from "state-of-the-art" PCI Express, low-profile and mini PCI Express cards to stackable PC/104 and PCI-104 cards, as well as standard, compact and mini PCI cards. The current generation of cifX PC cards is based on Hilscher's proven multi-protocol chip netX 100 and supports all major field buses and Real-Time Ethernet as master and slave.
The demand for PC-based automation is becoming more complex than ever before, and simple Real-Time Ethernet multi-protocol cards will no longer suffice. Emerging trends related to Industry 4.0, as well as trends in the IPC sector, are key drivers in this field.

Hilscher Provides Central Link Connecting IT and OT Networks
Hilscher stated that it is supplying a technology and service package with its netIOT product line that enables data exchange from automation system components to cloud or IoT-based applications. The recently launched netIOT Edge Gateway NIOT-E-TIJCX-GB-RE is available for purchase on the market and provides a central link connecting IT and OT networks. Since the gateway device itself is integrated as an I/O subscriber in a PROFINET or Ethernet/IP network, it can be positioned to periodically exchange with the PLC while communicating directly with IoT-enabled field devices via OPC UA/MQTT.

[Speaking of Industrial IoT⑧] Hilscher: "We must create meaningful data by combining IT and OT."
At IIoT Innovation day 2018, Hilscher, a German company that can be considered the starting point of Industry 4.0, will participate in a seminar with the theme of communication from the work site to the cloud through IIoT. Hilscher's perspective on IIoT is to collect data from various edge points through the convergence of IT and OT to create meaningful information. Hilscher will present methods on how to elevate data from the lowest level of the field to the highest level, along with the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches. Additionally, the seminar will focus on conveying how to collect data and what information should be transmitted for efficiency, rather than emphasizing the volume of data sent. Furthermore, it will be possible to learn about Hilscher's IIoT strategy, technological solutions, and approaches. Prior to the seminar, an interview was conducted with branch manager Won Il-min to understand the areas on which Hilscher is placing emphasis.

SalePoint Signs Multi-Year Partnership Agreement with AWS… Promoting Identity Security that Integrates Even AI Agents
Sailpoint has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with AWS and is moving forward with establishing an integrated governance system that manages both human and non-human identities together. The plan is to consistently manage access permissions in an environment where AI agents are increasing as work execution entities, while applying the principle of least privilege and automated policy enforcement. The two companies plan to jointly expand capabilities to manage the identities of various entities, including AI agents, within a single layer in the AWS environment. This collaboration is interpreted as a move to design security and governance together in corporate environments where AI adoption is expanding.
