The user can use RZ / n2l as the network supporting processor of the host CPU, so as to add the industrial Ethernet function to the device without making major changes to its internal configuration. This enables users to develop industrial equipment with fast and accurate factory automation synchronization control functions.

Bai Biren, vice president of the automation division of RISA electronics industry, said: "According to the usual practice, the entire design of the equipment is modified to realize the function of industrial Ethernet, which creates a huge development burden in terms of time and cost. To meet this challenge, Reza developed RZ / n2l. It is optimized as an add-on component of the existing system. I believe that this product will enable users to quickly deploy the most sophisticated industrial network with minimal system modification."

Dietmar R. Franke, CEO / CFO of Port Industrial Automation Co., Ltd., said: "TSN standard is growing rapidly. I expect RZ / n2l supporting this standard will further accelerate the popularization of Ethernet in the factory automation market. We are planning to release goal middleware for multi protocol real-time communication for RZ / n2l to help our customers implement industrial Ethernet communication technology on their equipment."

Optimized as a dedicated network supporting chip

The RZ / n2l has parallel and serial host interfaces and can be connected to the host CPU of the external application, thereby allowing direct connection between the RZ / n2l and the CPU to achieve high-speed access. In addition, the external CPU can directly access the communication data stored in the ram of the RZ / n2l system. Since RZ / n2l can realize network processing independently of external CPU, industrial Ethernet can be added to the system without major changes to existing application software.

It can realize single chip support for remote I / O, sensor hub, economical industrial motor and gateway

Arm based ® Cortex ®- The maximum working frequency of RZ / n2l constructed by R52 is 400 MHz. It integrates large capacity ECC ram, and peripheral functions such as delta sigma interface, a / D converter and PWM timer, so that RZ / n2l can be used as an independent device to develop remote I / O, sensor hub, frequency converter and other applications. UART and can functions enable RZ / n2l to act as a gateway to convert the field bus based on RS485 or can into industrial Ethernet.

Functional safety support

RZ / n2l can be used as an MPU supporting functional safety. Reza's functional safety solutions, such as RZ / n2l self diagnosis software. The functional security platform software and security network to be released by Risa can reduce the time and workload related to development. Reza plans to release functional safety solutions for RZ / n2l in 2023.

Successful product portfolio with RZ / n2l

Reza released two new "successful product portfolio" of POC (proof of concept) boards using RZ / n2l. These solutions use the matching Reza devices to work seamlessly. The Gigabit Industrial Ethernet SOM solution uses the power management IC, optocoupler, EEPROM and other mixed signal devices of Reza to provide configurable Industrial Ethernet in the SOM + carrier architecture. The solution has two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and PMOD and Arduino interfaces to establish systems with different peripherals. A single configurable power supply is simultaneously applied to support different RZ MPUs. 220V AC servo solution integrates motor control and EtherCAT to achieve high-speed and high-precision motor control through time sensitive Industrial Ethernet communication. It includes a physically isolated motor encoder, power drive, and a highly interconnected system control module. The design of this monolithic solution is superior to the traditional dual chip platform in performance and cost.

Reza released these solutions together with reference circuit, Gerber and sample program code to accelerate product development. Based on mutually compatible and seamless devices, Risa's "successful product portfolio" has a technically proven system architecture and brings optimized low-risk design to speed up product launch. Risa has launched more than 300 "successful product portfolios" based on various products in its product portfolio. For more information, please visit: https://www.renesas.com/win 。
