PC Masters
Label: GIN-PCIe5 in development
✓ GinLink Gigabit Ethernet Fieldbus Master
✓ 4 ARM Cortex-A72 Cores, 1.8 GHz
✓ PCIe Gen 3
GIN-PCIe5 is a high-performance CPU board for use as a fieldbus master in the form of a PC plug-in card. Thanks to sophisticated CPU cooling, only a single PC slot is required. The PC master is ideally suited for high-speed applications with high technical requirements.
PCIe standard | PCIe Gen 3 |
Interfaces | 1 × GinLink Gigabit Ethernet fieldbus / |
CPU | ARM Cortex-A72 |
Memory | 4 GByte SDRAM, DDR4-2133 |
MRAM | 0.5 MByte |
Flash | 8 MByte |
Operating system | Indel-Realtime-OS (INOS) |

As a fieldbus controller for the Indel Gigabit Ethernet fieldbus GinLink, GIN-PCIe5 can operate over 100 coordinated servo axes with a closed-loop bus frequency of up to 8 kHz thanks to its high transmission rate.
As with all other Indel CPU boards, OPC UA communication is implemented directly in the machine software. As OPC UA is flexible and completely platform-independent, it is considered the ideal communication protocol for implementing Industry 4.0.
