INpact Powerlink Slave PCIe interface

Versatile industrial Ethernet PC interface for Powerlink

The Ixxat INpact is an Industrial Ethernet PCIe slave interface. The dedicated Powerlink version of the Ixxat INpact comes with a pre-installed network protocol. It enables the easy connection of PC-based Profibus Slave applications to the industrial network and is based on proven Anybus and Ixxat technology.
This technology makes the INpact very versatile. For example, by using another variant, an easy change to another Industrial Ethernet protocol can be made without requiring any software to be rewritten. Thus, the host system has a network slave interface with any desired Industrial Ethernet protocol.
