Drivers for CANopen, POWERLINK and EtherCAT are now available for the Sitara (TM) ARM ® Cortex (TM) -A8 AM335x microprocessors from Texas Instruments. The drivers are based on industrial communication stacks and tools provided by port.
Using the Sitara AM335x together with port's stacks & tools, a wide range of different applications for global markets can be realized today and have the option to be upgraded to new technologies at a later date.
"We are delighted to be working with port," says Elizabete de Freitas, EMEA Marketing Manager Industrial Solutions at TI. "Combining port's expertise in the field of real-time communication standards and the portfolio of highly integrated processors from TI, means a complete system solution for customers of the industrial automation market. "
Until fall 2013 more protocols like PROFINET (CC-A and later CC-B) will follow providing then support for all major industrial ethernet protocol for the Sitara AM335x family.
Design tools offered for CANopen, POWERLINK and EtherCAT support the user integrating the stack reducing development times and costs significantly. Up to 45 days after purchase the customer will receive free support by port.
Beyond this period of time, flexible maintenance contracts are available.
