# MicroFIP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MicroFIP is designed to collect data over WorldFIP directly from I/Os,
|
|
|
|
as well as locally processed data. The MicroFIP provides all the key
|
|
|
|
functions to transmit information across WorldFIP. It is produced by the
|
|
|
|
company Alstom.

## Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MICROFIP component is an ASIC solution implementing the WorldFIP
|
|
|
|
protocol, to be used in field devices
|
|
|
|
able to communicate at the three standard speeds: 31.25 kbits/s, 1
|
|
|
|
Mbit/s, 2.5 Mbits/s. In addition its static
|
|
|
|
implementation guarantees low power consumption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MICROFIP is a low-cost and easy-to-use solution which supplies a subset
|
|
|
|
of the WorldFIP services, in particular
|
|
|
|
it can be configured as a station, without being able to run the bus
|
|
|
|
arbitrator. The frame delimiters and control
|
|
|
|
sequence can be selected in compliance with the NFC46-604 FIP original
|
|
|
|
standard or IEC11586-2. Network
|
|
|
|
management facilities are directly embedded in the chip, such as the
|
|
|
|
presence and identification variables. The
|
|
|
|
identification contains a 32-bit tag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The MICROFIP chip is packaged in the MQFP100 standard solution, and the
|
|
|
|
3.3-volt and 5-volt nominal power
|
|
|
|
supply can be selected.
