HMS Industrial Networks AB Collaborates with Xilinx to Deliver Next Generation Industrial Networking Solutions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Latest industrial networking IP based on leading Anybus technology for Xilinx
FPGA and SoC devices
HAMSTAD, April 27, 2015 - HMS Industrial Networks AB (HMSN.ST) announced today
that it is collaborating with Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX) to deliver next generation
industrial networking solutions. HMS's latest industrial network IP is based on
the leading Anybus technology for Xilinx® FPGA and SoC devices. HMS is the
worldwide leader in Industrial network technology and has connected more than
three million devices to industrial networks in demanding applications with its
Anybus technology. Xilinx® Artix®-7 FPGAs and Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoCs
integrate state-of-the-art FPGA technology with dual-core ARM® Cortex(TM)-A9
MPCore(TM) processors, giving developers a powerful and flexible basis with high
performance embedded processing power and hardware acceleration.
HMS, a Xilinx Alliance Program Member, is adapting the Anybus technology to the
FPGA and Zynq platforms, with the aim of enabling Xilinx customers to implement
all popular Industrial Ethernet protocols, such as Profinet, Ethernet/IP,
Powerlink and EtherCAT. The objective is to form the first one-stop-shop
solution for industrial communication IP cores on Xilinx and leverage Anybus's
platform concept for a new level of integration and productivity.
"We are very excited about having Anybus on Xilinx products. The industrial
communication market is very fragmented when it comes to protocols, and many
next generation product platforms require the support of multiple networks. We
are looking forward to our Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC customers getting a
proven, flexible and reliable communication solution that appreciably improves
time to market for their new products," says Christoph Fritsch, director of the
industrial, scientific and medical business segment at Xilinx.
"Co-operation with Xilinx allows HMS to further integrate into new technical
platforms. FPGAs remain extremely popular in industrial products, so the
proposed combination of Xilinx's Zynq All Programmable SoCs and HMS's Anybus
technology will create an unbeatable combination in providing performance,
flexibility and short time-to-market for demanding industrial applications,"
says Staffan Dahlström, CEO of HMS. "We see the Xilinx co-operation as a great
complement to our existing Anybus offer of chips, bricks and modules for
industrial communication. This new solution will increase the reach of Anybus
into more applications and will provide new market opportunities for HMS."
HMS expect the Anybus technology to be available for Zynq All Programmable SoC
customers during the second half of 2015.
