Terasic Cyclone IV Industrial Development Kit P0061

The Industrial Networking Kit (INK) offers a comprehensive development platform for industrial communications and automation applications. The kit consists of the DE2-115 board featuring the Altera Cyclone® IV device and an Industrial Communications Board (ICB-HSMC) that supports RS-485, RS-232, CAN, and additional I/O expansion. The INK gives industrial equipment designers greater flexibility in implementing real-time Ethernet communications with the availability of Industrial Ethernet IP cores.

An FPGA is a semiconductor device consisting of a matrix of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) connected through programmable interconnects. The user determines these interconnections by programming SRAM. A CLB can be simple (AND, OR gates, etc) or complex (a block of RAM). The FPGA allows changes to be made to a design even after the device is soldered into a PCB.
