Panagiotis Venardos, Senior Product Manager for Microcontrollers at Infineon Technologies, said, "Infineon's XMC MCU has long supported factory workshops. With the accelerating trend of Industry 4.0, existing fieldbus and Ethernet protocols are crucial for achieving industrial automation. We will continue to invest in more powerful MCUs and interconnected MCUs to further enhance seamless communication capabilities in factory workshops, and expand the scale of this work with our partner RT Labs' Ethernet and fieldbus protocol stacks that have been validated and highly optimized on site

RT Labs Chief Marketing Officer Marcus Ekerhult said, "RT Labs is committed to making industrial communication effortless. As a premium partner of Infineon, we are working on ModusToolbox ™ Bring plug and play connectivity capability. Due to its support for various leading protocols and U-Phy technology, developers can accelerate the development and launch of products while ensuring reliability and compliance. We are excited about this collaboration and the innovation it brings

Industrial communication protocol is a standardized set of rules and procedures used to manage data exchange between devices and systems in industrial automation environments. This collaboration between Infineon and RT Labs supports customers in using these communication protocols: PROFINET RT, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, CC Link, Modbus/TCP, and EtherCAT Master. Middleware is hosted in the GitHub repository, providing the latest and easily accessible libraries. In addition, Infineon also assists users by providing user-friendly code examples and comprehensive documentation, eliminating the need for deep expertise or extensive resources.
