1 Introduction
1.1 About this document
1.1.1 Description of the contents
This Getting Started Guide describes typical use cases for the Hilscher
netRAPID chip carrier and the netRAPID Evaluation Boards. The purpose
of this document is to provide OEM developers, who want to integrate
(design-in) the netX based netRAPID communication interface into their
own host device, with the information they need in order to successfully test
and evaluate the netRAPID chip carrier (respectively the netRAPID
Evaluation Boards) before they build a host device prototype or baseboard
for the netRAPID.
Technical details needed for physically embedding the netRAPID into the
host device/baseboard of the OEM manufacturer are not subject of this
document. Technical details like dimensions/footprints, soldering profiles,
signal descriptions and pin assignments are provided in the
Design Guide netRAPID Chip Carrier, DOC111004DGxxEN,
which is stored on the netRAPID Evaluation DVD (NRPEB product DVD)
in the Documentation\1. netRAPID Manuals directory.

The netRAPID Evaluation DVD (NRPEB product DVD) containing the
accompanying software can be downloaded from our Hilscher website in
the Support > Downloads section:
https://www.hilscher.com/support/downloads/
The netRAPID Evaluation DVD features:
•Limited versions of Loadable Firmware (LFW) for testing and evaluation
purposes for all netRAPID types. The limitations are:
PROFIBUS DP Slave:
- 2 bytes output / 2 bytes input.
- Fixed station address 32
CC-Link Slave:
- 2 bytes I/O data exchange
- Fixed station address 32.
- Remote IO Station only
Real-Time Ethernet slaves:
(EtherCAT Slave, PROFINET IO Device, EtherNet/IP Adapter, Sercos
Slave, Open Modbus/TCP, POWERLINK Controlled Node, VARAN
Client):
- Communication task stops after one hour
•Software tools for configuring the netRAPID, for downloading firmware
and for testing I/O communication
•C-Toolkit (source code for developers of non-Windows target platforms
and embedded systems)
•USB drivers for Windows (needed for accessing the USB diagnostic
interface of the netRAPID from a Windows configuration PC)
•cifX Device Driver (needed for accessing the host interface of the
netRAPID from a Windows PC via PCI)
•PDF documentation for users and developers

1.2.3 Standard Loadable Firmware DVDs
DVDs containing licensed Standard Loadable Firmware with full standard
functionality for the netRAPID and the chosen network communication
protocol can be obtained from Hilscher under a simple license agreement.
The firmware needs to be acquired once and can then be used on an
infinite number of netRAPIDs.

However, the right to assert damages due to a violation of a fundamental
contractual obligation shall be limited to contract-typical foreseeable
damage.
It is hereby expressly agreed upon in particular that any use or utilization of
the hardware and/or software in connection with
•Flight control systems in aviation and aerospace;
•Nuclear fusion processes in nuclear power plants;
•Medical devices used for life support and

Warranty
Hilscher Gesellschaft für Systemautomation mbH hereby guarantees that
the software shall run without errors in accordance with the requirements
listed in the specifications and that there were no defects on the date of
acceptance. The warranty period shall be 12 months commencing as of the
date of acceptance or purchase (with express declaration or implied, by
customer's conclusive behavior, e.g. putting into operation permanently).
The warranty obligation for equipment (hardware) we produce is 36
months, calculated as of the date of delivery ex works. The aforementioned
provisions shall not apply if longer warranty periods are mandatory by law
pursuant to Section 438 (1.2) BGB, Section 479 (1) BGB and Section 634a
(1) BGB [Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch; German Civil Code] If, despite of all
due care taken, the delivered product should have a defect, which already
existed at the time of the transfer of risk, it shall be at our discretion to
either repair the product or to deliver a replacement product, subject to
timely notification of defect.
The warranty obligation shall not apply if the notification of defect is not
asserted promptly, if the purchaser or third party has tampered with the
products, if the defect is the result of natural wear, was caused by
unfavorable operating conditions or is due to violations against our
operating regulations or against rules of good electrical engineering
practice, or if our request to return the defective object is not promptly
complied with.
Costs of support, maintenance, customization and product care
Please be advised that any subsequent improvement shall only be free of
charge if a defect is found. Any form of technical support, maintenance and
customization is not a warranty service, but instead shall be charged extra.

hardware and/or software is uninterruptable or the hardware and/or
software is fault-free.
It cannot be guaranteed that patents and/or ownership privileges have not
been infringed upon or violated or that the products are free from third-party
influence. No additional guarantees or promises shall be made as to
whether the product is market current, free from deficiency in title, or can be
integrated or is usable for specific purposes, unless such guarantees or
promises are required under existing law and cannot be restricted.
