DRV-CE

Device Driver for Windows CE

The Windows® CE driver is a loadable drivers which need not be included into the Windows ® CE system image (binary).
Therefore, the driver consists of two DLLs. The driver itself and the application programming interface (API) DLL. The API for the access to the driver and thus to the CIF is compatible to the already existing interface for Windows® systems. The Driver supports the PC card with ISA bus (thus also PC/104) interface and PCMCIA cards.
For easier configuration of the CIF card, the API is extended by means of a Firmware and Configuration Download Function.
This function is included into the driver interface DLL and is able to load configuration data or firmware files on to the CIF card.
The fieldbus configuration is created and tested by the system configurator SyCon® on a Windows® 95/98/ME or Windows® NT/2000/XP based system (Desktop/Notebook).

The scope of supply includes all components in source code. This comprises the driver, the API DLL including the necessary Header files and the test, setup and demo programs.
The driver and the applications, for the processor types supported by the Embedded Toolkit 2.10 are included in compiled executable code. Versions for processors that are not included in this Toolkit can be created easily by the use of the supplied source code.

One driver for all fieldbus systems
Supports all PC card types ISA PC/104 and PCMCIA

DRV-LNX

Device Driver for Linux

A Device Driver is required for the communication between the Communication Interface and the PC applications under the Linux operating system. The driver contains the complete management of the interface and has a simple interface.
The user is responsible only for the transfer of the correct parameters to the Device Driver. All dependencies on the operating system such as interrupt management and time monitoring are carried out
by the driver. Therefore, the user interface is independent of the operating system.

The driver works together with all our Communication Interfaces and comprises all functions for initialising, parameterising, exchange of data and retrieval of status information. The driver works in Polling or Interrupt operation and services a maximum of four cards in one PC. However, the card can be utilised as ISA, PCI or PC/104. The functions of the Device Driver are independent of the fieldbus system.
The access to the variables in the process image is fully identical. What is different are the parameters of the diagnostic and status structures, as well as fieldbus-specific commands. Associated definitions are included as header files.

The driver is supplied together with the setup program and test program in source code. This makes the first time use easy.

NXDRV-CE

CIFX/netX device driver for Windows CE

Most operating systems and real-time extensions require a device driver to integrate hardware components. Hilscher CIFX/COMX components require such device drivers as well.

Hilscher offers a series of device drivers for a wide variety of operating systems and Windows real-time extensions.

All Hilscher drivers have a standard user interface (CIFX-API) and are based on a C toolkit that can also be used for developing independent device drivers.

The drivers are fully responsible for administering the communication components, a task that includes loading firmware and configuration files. The user interface contains all of the functions needed to initialize, parametrize and exchange data, and to sort status information.

Depending on the operating system and real-time expansion, the user interface is housed in a DLL or library, and the drivers support existing bus connections (ISA/PCI/PCIe and dual-port memory connections) wherever possible. The C toolkit, and therefore the basis of the drivers’ code, is designed in such a way that an unlimited number of communication components can be used simultaneously. However, the specific characteristics of each operating system must be taken into account.

The CIFX/netX device driver for Windows CE is a “stream” driver that runs in the kernel of the operating system. It consists of a driver DLL and an API-DLL and can be integrated into a Windows CE image or loaded from a data carrier at the time of operation. The driver interface is compatible with the CIFX API offered in Windows by the CIFX Windows driver. The API-DLL is used to convert the CIFX API functions to corresponding IO control requests from the driver.
The driver supports both direct dual-port memory connections (DPM) and ISA, PCI and PCI/e components, which can be combined arbitrarily.

Facts at a glance:

Standard application interface
Standard code basis (C toolkit)
Not dependent on field bus system
Number of supported devices limited only by operating system

INtime is a product offered by TenAsys; it is a real-time kernel that can expand a standard Windows PC system by adding hard real-time features according to industrial requirements.
The INtime driver offers access to netX-based hardware (e.g. CIFX50) with the same functionality as Windows, and it runs in a separate address range during the real-time expansion.
The INtime driver provides a special version of the Windows CIFX application DLL that allows Windows applications to access the hardware via the INtime driver.

SYCON

Systemconfigurator for AS-Interface, CANopen, DeviceNet, InterBus, PROFIBUS

SyCon® is the universal System Configurator with a unified user desktop for all our PC cards. As a basis for the configuration, so-called device description files or electronic data sheets (EDS file), in which the characteristics of the bus device are defined, are used. These are standardised for some fieldbus systems and are supplied by the device manufacturer. For other cases, SyCon® offers this function for input. The bus structure is determined by means of a graphical Editor and the individual participant are placed. A double click on the participant opens the corresponding configuration window. In a table there are displayed all the possible modules or data from which the current participant configuration will be created. The address of the data in the process image is issued manually or automatically by the Configurator. The parameterisation of the participant is carried out by means of the selection or entry of the values of the respective fieldbus system. The final step is the defining of the bus parameters. This is limited to the definition of the transmission rate, as all other parameters are independently calculated on the basis of the data in the device description files.
All process variables can be provided with a symbolic name. These are made available as an interface to a primary visualisation or SoftPLC or for our OPC Server. In this way the entry and comparison of variables addresses becomes superfluous.
SyCon® offers comprehensive diagnostic aids. In the diagnostic mode all the statues of the devices are cyclically called up and presented in red or green depending on whether a data exchange is taking place with it at the time. By double clicking on 'red' bus participants, the cause of the error is shown in clear text as far as possible. Further functions include the reading out of error saves, display of statistic counters and the input and output of process data.
SyCon® is provided in a basic version with every device. A maximum of two bus participants can be configured with it. This limitation for the respective fieldbus system is lifted by means of a licensing code.
