R-IN32M4-CL2 ICs for Industrial Ethernet Communication

The R-IN32M4-CL2 contains built-in Gigabit PHY in addition to our featured Renesas R-IN engine (“R-IN engine”) available in the series family, providing the optimal solution to bring high performance CC-Link IE Field network protocol to industrial equipment. The network performance of CC-Link IE Field has been proven effective in the 4th industrial revolution, where various sensors and actuators are connected. By combining CC-Link IE Field with our proposed R-IN engine, we bring high level of intelligence to end devices, providing significant improvement further to the industrial networks. With the embedded Gigabit ethernet PHY in the R-IN32M4, circuit design is made extremely easy since no Gigabit PHY related analog design is required, which can be quite troublesome in a conventional hardware approach. Furthermore, with the addition of FPU, 8 channels of 10-bit ADC and 16 channels of 16-bit timers embedded to the CPU core, the R-IN32M4 has greatly extended the family’s application; not only remote IO applications, where the R-IN32M series has exceeded, the R-IN32M4 also performs well in motor & sensor control, and even industrial network gateway applications.
