Save up to one man/year of development time with Infineon's new 16-Bit XE166 real-time signal controller CANopen Development Tool
(Technology News, 14 Mar 2008 )
Infineon Technologies (further expands its development support for the industrial market. At the Embedded World Show 2008 in Nuremberg recently, Infineon announced a new development support kit with complete CANopen development environment for its 16-bit XE166 family of Real-Time Signal Controllers (RTSC). The new UConnect-CAN development kit enables designs of cost-sensitive and networked real-time motor control systems for industrial applications, such as servo-drives, air-conditioning systems, stepper motors and pumps.
UConnect-CAN Kit with Complete CANopen Development Environment The UConnect-CAN development kit allows complete analysis of the CANopen protocol and application code for motor control designs in as little as 30 minutes. There is no need any more to develop a test board or test software and then adapt the CAN-open protocol to the microcontroller. The kit gives industrial customers a way to dramatically reduce development time, saving man/months in time to market.
The UConnect-CAN development kit contains an evaluation platform using a low-cost USB stick format.
The UConnect USB stick provides full evaluation capabilities for the 16-bit MCU XE164. The kit also contains an extension board for expanding the possible interfaces such as synchronous and asynchronous serial interfaces (SSC, ASC, or I2C), six PWM channels, four AD channels and a second CAN interface. Also included is the CANopen protocol stack from Port GmbH, a one-year license-free Tasking Classic Compiler from Altium as well as DavE, a software configuration tool, along with all documentation.
