INP-100 Real-Time Ethernet Controller Card

HMS Networks makes the Anybus INpact line of PCI and PCIe cards that connect a PC to industrial networks, and the INP-100 name in the input is closest to this product type but could not be confirmed as a catalogued part number. The cards carry a communication processor with the network stack for real-time Ethernet and fieldbus protocols, offer a driver and API for the host PC, and are used for PC-based control, test equipment, and data acquisition. The protocol is chosen by the specific card variant, such as PROFINET or EtherCAT.
