What's new
The Hilscher Universal device driver was designed specifically for use with KEPServerEX and Hilscher Communications Interface (CIF) cards. KEPServerEX and the Hilscher Universal driver communicate through the Hilscher CIF cards to your DeviceNet or Profibus supported device, providing I/O and diagnostics information.
See the release notes and the readme.txt file for installation instructions, supported hardware, what's new, bug fixes, and known issues.
With cifX, Hilscher provides a solution that supports all major protocols, using netX as the network controller and SDRAM, thus offering maximum performance, functionality and flexibility in a cost-effective module. Supported protocols include EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, POWERLINK, and SERCOS III. Download and install network adapter Drivers How Do I Install Driver updates? To fix your Drivers problems you will need to know the particular model of the network adapter device you are having problems with. Once you have the details you can search the manufacturers website for your drivers and, if available, download and install these drivers. How do I know if I need to update my Drivers?

With the advent of Industrial IoT, as key technology for cyber-physical systems, Hilscher, a German pioneer in ASIC technology, has developed what they describe as “the next generation of network controllers”, the netX 90. Building on the success of their netX 51/52 family, netX 90 enables higher degrees of integration with enhanced performances and improved power efficiency ratings, suitable for industrial application designs with smaller form factors.
A large proportion of slave devices in use today will have to be replaced and/or updated in the near future if cyber risk threats for cloud-based and IIoT applications are to be countered adequately, says says Phil Marshall, CEO of Hilscher’s North American operations.
According to its maker, the netX 90 provides universal connectivity for all popular Real Time Ethernets (RTEs), is “IoT-ready” with support for OPC UA and MQTT, and can interface to all modern sensor buses.
netX 52, its predecessor, was already a powerful interface for sensors and actuators,
said Nico Mäding, Hilscher netX business development manager.
With netX 90 we’ve incorporated low-level drivers for even more sensor protocols, including encoder types such as BiSS and EnDAT 2.2, and our IO-Link capability has been enhanced too.
netX 90 is a dual-processor chip with all the network connectivity common to Hilscher products, including firmware updating of protocols. It’s divided into two halves: 1) RTE and fieldbus protocols are supported on the network-facing side while 2) device-specific protocols (I/O, EnDat, Biss, and many other peripherals) are supported on the applications (slave-facing) side. In between are some common features such as on-chip diagnostics.
A key benefit to the netX 90 is its added security,
says Phil Marshall, Hilscher North America CEO. As well as secure boot procedures underpinning a software “chain of trust,” there is a wealth of hardware-based encryption technology built-in, and an architecture that enables designers to create IEC 62443-compliant layered security solutions, he notes.
We’ve separated the network communications from the application to isolate malicious cyber-activity and we’ve even included hardware acceleration to ensure netX 90-connected slaves meet latest ‘fast connect’ specifications,

adds Mäding.
Never before has a slave interface offered so much,” opines Marshall. “This is truly a secure ‘system-on-a-chip’ solution for slave devices. We honestly believe netX 90 can support anything that IIoT and Industrie 4.0 can throw at it, including MQTT, OPC UA and even Time Sensitive Networking [TSN]. To our knowledge netX 90 is the first chip designed specifically for industrial devices that includes the security required for next-generation Industrie 4.0 capability.
