As miniaturization progresses and IPCs become increasingly smaller, Hilscher enables device manufacturers and integrators to connect their systems to all relevant industrial fieldbus and real-time Ethernet networks using a single M.2 PC card. This simplifies the complex industrial network landscape, offering unique drivers, API, and configuration software for all networks, whether acting as a controller or device. Its compact form makes the M.2 card by Hilscher particularly suited for space-limited applications like tablets, touch panels, slim Box-IPCs, and specialized machinery such as optical inspection systems requiring integration into an automation network.
