Product Description
The IXXAT INpact Slave PCIe for Ethernet based industrial communication is designed to fulfill
the high requirements of real time Ethernet protocols with big data volume and supports the
most used real time industrial Ethernet protocols. The modular approach of the INpact platform
allows the interface to be customized. The IXXAT INpact Slave PCIe is available as Common
Ethernet variant or as pre-configured protocol specific interface. The Common Ethernet variant
can be flashed with various Industrial Ethernet protocols and therefore provides instant connec-
tivity to all major industrial networks with only one interface.
