3500/92 136188-01 with multiple high-speed memory buffers, I/O, and numerous high-bandwidth serial interfaces. the FPGA provides fast processing power and is tightly coupled to the serial interconnect to prevent data transfer bottlenecks. The module simply snaps onto the backplane of a ControlLogix PLC to exchange device data with the WebSphere MQ system using its native language. The module’s WorkBench configuration tool features easy-to-use drag-and-drop operations for setting parameters between ControlLogix-connected devices and WebSphere MQ, enabling simple and easy setup without any special programming skills.

3500/92 136188-01 eliminates the need for enterprise drivers and maintenance programming for future upgrades. These modules also eliminate the security, virus and data integrity issues associated with three-tier systems connected to an enterprise’s plant floor PC operations. The modules combine powerful Virtex-6 FPGAs with these high-speed serial transceivers to enable real-time processing of signals in many applications that require computationally intensive tasks and fast interfaces. the FPGAs can be used as coprocessors to apply custom logic and algorithms to remote sensor data streams. Common uses are video and communications tasks such as encryption or protocol conversion.
