3 Description and Requirements
3.1 Description
3.1.1 netX Technology
The netX is a highly integrated network controller with a new system
architecture optimized for communication and maximum data throughput.
Based on the 32-Bit CPU ARM 926EJ-S clocked with 200 MHz, it provides
a memory management unit, caches, DSP and Java extensions. Together
with 32 Kbytes ROM holding the Bootloader and a Real-Time kernel, the
internal memory of 144 Kbytes RAM is sufficient for smaller applications.
The connection to a primary host is accomplished by the dual-port memory
mode of the host interface, which is also configurable as a 16 Bit extension
bus for stand-alone applications. Comprehensive peripheral functions,
serial interfaces such as UARTs, USB, SPI and I²C provide a wide
spectrum of applications. Yet, it is the central data switch and the four freely
configurable communication channels with their own intelligence that are
the main characteristics of the netX as a "high end” network controller.
Figure 1: netX Block Diagram

Description and Requirements 14/58
NXIO 100-RE Board | Configuration and Hardware Description
DOC061101UM02EN | Revision 2 | English | 2011-06 | Released | Public Hilscher, 2006-2011
The data switch interconnects the ARM CPU, communication and Host
controllers, memory blocks and peripheral units via five data paths. This
allows the controllers to transmit their data in parallel, contrary to the
traditional sequential architecture with only one common data bus and
additional bus arbitration cycles.
The controllers of the four communication channels are structured on two
levels and are identical to each other. They consist of dedicated Alas and
special logic units that receive their protocol functions via microcode,
combining the performance of dedicated (single-) protocol controllers with
the flexibility of a CPU. Two of these channels can further be linked to
integrated PHs for Ethernet communication.
The Medium-Access-Controller xMAC sends or receives the serial data
stream according to the respective bus access process and encrypts or
converts these into Bytes.
The Protocol Execution Controller xPEC compiles these into data packets
and controls the telegram traffic, accomplished by DMA transfers. In
addition, every channel has a dual-port-memory available for status
information or as local data image.
By its intelligent communication ALUs, the netX can implement the most
varied protocols and protocol combinations and can synchronize them
independently of the CPU response time – an absolutely new feature in
industrial communication technology.

3.1.2 NXIO 100-RE Board
The NXIO 100-RE Board described in this user manual is a small module
for real-time Ethernet communication system.
The netX handles the data exchange between the connected Ethernet
networks and the on-board LEDs and switches.
The NXIO 100-RE Board is equipped with serial Flash Loader to start the
firmware automatically from a MMC card. Further the board provides two
100 MBit/s Ethernet ports for real-time Ethernet communication.
All elements of the board are powered by an onboard switching DC power
supply, which can be powered by a wide range of simple (unregulated)
standard power supplies from 12V to 30V output voltage.
Note: The NXIO 100-RE is in no way optimized in terms of
EMC compatibility. This product is intended to be used for evaluation and
development purposes in lab environments only and is not suitable for
production use!
Depending on the loaded firmware the NXIO 100-RE uses the
communication protocols of one of the following real time Ethernet systems:
•PROFINET IO-Device
•EtherCAT Slave
•EtherNet/IP Adapter (Slave)
•SERCOS III Slave
•Ethernet Powerlink Controlled Node (Slave)
•Open Modbus/TCP Server
