At the core of TI's industrial communication solution is the AM3359 Industrial Communications Engine (ICE). The ICE is a development platform targeted for systems that specifically focus on the industrial communications capabilities of the Sitara AM335x ARM® Cortex™-A8 Processor family. It enables low foot print designs with minimal external components and with best in class low power performance. Complementing the AM3359 processor on the ICE are the latest industrial PHY transceivers for 10/100 Ethernet, isolated Profibus® RS-485 and isolated CAN interfaces. Other connectivity options include digital input/output (I/O), SPI, UART and JTAG (via USB) for debugging.
Solution Features
- The ICE hardware and included software are designed to help integrate the communications interfaces used in a broad range of industrial systems such as Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), industrial communication modules, interfaces for sensors and I/O systems, drives with integrated communications, and motor drive feedback systems.
- TI’s Industrial Communication solutions support all major industrial protocols, with new ones added continuously.
