Hilscher EU5C - SWD - PROFINET PROFINET IRT/Ethernet Industrial Communication Module (Official Model Designation: EU5C - SWD - PROFINET)
The Hilscher EU5C - SWD - PROFINET is a compact, industrial - grade communication module designed for seamless integration into embedded systems, industrial controllers, and edge devices, focusing on PROFINET IRT (Isochronous Real - Time) and standard Ethernet connectivity. It enables target devices to establish high - speed, deterministic data communication with PROFINET - enabled industrial equipment (e.g., PLCs, motion controllers, smart sensors) in factory automation, robotics, and precision manufacturing scenarios. As part of Hilscher’s EU5C series—renowned for its small form factor, low power consumption, and robust industrial performance—it features a software - configurable core (SWD) that supports flexible protocol adaptation. This design simplifies integration into diverse embedded platforms and ensures compatibility with evolving PROFINET network requirements, making it an ideal solution for embedded industrial devices needing reliable real - time Ethernet communication.

1. Protocol Support (Per Hilscher Official Design)
Complies with PROFINET standards (IEC 61158 - 3 - 10, EN 50170) and supports both PROFINET IRT (Isochronous Real - Time) and PROFINET RT (Real - Time) modes:
PROFINET IRT: Enables deterministic data exchange with cycle times as low as 125 µs and jitter ≤ 1 µs, optimized for motion control, robotics, and high - precision assembly lines requiring synchronized multi - device operation.
PROFINET RT: Supports real - time cyclic data transfer (cycle times ≥ 1 ms) for general factory automation applications, such as process monitoring and discrete control.
Also supports standard Ethernet protocols (TCP/IP, UDP/IP) for non - real - time data transmission (e.g., configuration, diagnostics, and data logging). It adheres to PROFINET’s producer/consumer communication model, enabling seamless data sharing between multiple network nodes.
2. Hardware Specifications (Based on Hilscher EU5C Series Standards)
Physical Form Factor: Compact module design with dimensions of approx. 30 mm × 30 mm × 5 mm (surface - mount package), optimized for integration into space - constrained embedded systems (e.g., industrial edge controllers, compact PLCs). The module uses a lead - free, RoHS - compliant package suitable for high - volume manufacturing.
Power Requirements: Operates on a single +3.3 V DC supply (± 10%), with typical current consumption ≤ 150 mA (active mode) and ≤ 10 µA (sleep mode). Low power consumption makes it ideal for battery - powered or energy - efficient embedded devices.
Integrated Memory: Equipped with 128 KB SRAM (for real - time data buffering) and 512 KB Flash memory (for firmware storage and configuration). The SRAM ensures high - speed data handling for PROFINET IRT cycles, while the Flash memory supports firmware updates and persistent storage of network parameters.
Connector Interface:
Host Interface: 2 - wire SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) with clock speeds up to 50 MHz, enabling high - speed data transfer between the module and the host embedded processor (e.g., ARM Cortex - M, x86).
Ethernet Interface: Integrated 10/100 Base - T PHY (Physical Layer) with MII (Media Independent Interface) support. Designed for connection to external RJ45 connectors (via PCB traces), supporting twisted - pair cabling (CAT 5e or higher) with auto - negotiation and MDI/MDI - X crossover. The interface includes galvanic isolation (500 V DC) to protect against ground loops and electrical surges in industrial environments.
Certifications: UL 508 certified for industrial control equipment, CE marked for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) per EN 61000 - 6 - 2 (industrial environment) and EN 61000 - 6 - 4 (generic immunity), and PROFINET - compliant (certified by PI - PROFIBUS & PROFINET International). These certifications validate safe, reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions.
