Core modules are the heart of every SOMANET node. The SOMANET Core C2X module features one dual-core SOMANET C2X processor, having the huge computational resources of 16 deterministic real-time hardware cores while consuming less than 1 Watt.
Integrated with the Core C2X, we can find two DX-Link ports. These two ports enable SOMANET Core modules to communicate with each other directly over their processor bus (X-Link). From a software perspective, no communication protocols are required, enabling developers to create distributed applications without needing to care for communication issues. Using SOMANET DX-Links, a distributed system can be programmed as if it was a single-board system. Requiring no additional MAC, DX-LVDS is the lowest-power consuming communication option available for SOMANET.
A SOMANET Core is needed in any SOMANET based motion solution.
