SK-FM3-176PMC-FA Industrial Network Reference Design
SK-FM3-176PMC-FA is a versatile evaluation board to develop industrial automation applications based on Cypress‘s FM3 microcontroller MB9BD10T Series. It was conceived especially as a reference platform to explore and develop Industrial Ethernet solutions but also CAN and USB. The board comes with a software package which includes various protocol stacks.
The hardware is suitable to support the following protocols:
- Modbus TCP
- POWERLINK
- EtherCAT
- Ethernet IP
- Profinet RT
