Deutschmann Automation Selects Innovasic Semiconductor’s Ethernet Connectivity Solution
Jan. 11, 2010 - Deutschmann Automation and Innovasic Semiconductor are pleased to announce that Deutschmann has incorporated Innovasic’s fido1100® Communications Controller and reference design into their UNIGATE® IC and UNIGATE® CL EtherNet/IP gateway products. The UNIGATE CL is a protocol converter solution for all field devices with serial interfaces. The UNIGATE IC is a protocol converter that supports integration directly into industrial automation equipment. Innovasic’s Ethernet connectivity solution provides the communication processing in these gateway products. While evaluating Innovasic’s solution Deutschmann found that Innovasic’s 66 MHz fido1100 outperformed a 200 MHz RISC solution and provided higher reliability.
“We are pleased that Deutschmann has selected the fidoo1100. Its unique architecture offers exceptional performance for Industrial Ethernet connectivity,” said Keith Prettyjohns, CEO of Innovasic Semiconductor. “Now that these UNIGATE products are on the market, OEM customers have access to a greater range of high-performance fido-based solutions for implementing EtherNet/IP - from plug-in modules to chip-level solutions,” he concluded.
"We are very pleased with the performance of the fido1100 and reference design, as well as with the outstanding support we have received from Innovasic,” said Gunther Lawaczeck, CTO and Managing Director of Deutschmann. “With Innovasic’s solution, the UNIGATE CL took less than six months to release to market,” he concluded.
