Case Study: kumkeo GmbH achieves rapid certified protocol conversion with Hilscher’s netX 90

kumkeo GmbH launches protocol converter in 9 months with Hilscher

Kumkeo GmbH, an engineering firm, needed to develop a secure protocol converter for the wind energy sector. Their challenge was to interface two BiSS safety rotary encoders with a higher-level controller that required data via PROFINET and PROFIsafe. They chose to partner with vendor Hilscher and utilize their netX 90 system-on-chip for this product development.

Hilscher's netX 90 provided a compact, multi-protocol solution that enabled Kumkeo to develop a series-production-ready protocol converter in a record time of just nine months. The resulting product reliably supplies power to the sensors and converts their data for the safety controller. The flexibility of the netX 90 also allows Kumkeo to quickly develop further customized products and variants.
