Product overview

Embedded communication

Pre-certified hardware modules and protocol software for integrating Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus communication into OEM devices.

Start with the device roleController, device, scanner, adapter or gateway role determines the required module and stack.
Define the host interfaceSpecify processor, operating system, memory, electrical interface, form factor and real-time behavior.
Certification planningPre-certification can reduce effort but does not remove final product conformance, EMC, safety or protocol obligations.
Lifecycle controlConfirm module longevity, firmware ownership, source-code/escrow options and product-change notification.
Connection architecture
