Embedded Platforms for Automation and Control Applications

A Free Seminar by Embedded Solution Partners, Real-Time Innovations, and Wind River Systems

Understand the power of Wind River’s Platform for Industrial Automation (Platform IA), an embedded platform for the rapid development of reliable, connected, and manageable Industrial Automation devices.

Integrated connectivity includes traditional fieldbus networks and Ethernet-based networks within the factory, business enterprise applications and the internet itself. Finally, efficient and seamless integration with supervisory systems means more flexible and remote device monitoring.

PLATFORM IA is particularly suited for developing factory automation applications ranging from all-purpose programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and numerical controllers to specialized robotics controllers and process control equipment:

  • VxWorks® 5.5 embedded real-time operating system
  • TrueFFS flash file system
  • WIND ML multimedia library
  • USB host and peripheral stacks
  • VxWorks Network (TCP/IP) Stack
  • WIND NET CAN
  • VxDCOM for DCOM-based connectivity
  • WIND NET OPC for connectivity to supervisory systems
  • WIND NET DeviceNet for fieldbus connectivity

Come see a demonstration of Real-Time Innovation's NDDS middleware product. NDDS is designed for real-time, data sharing applications over industry standard network topologies including TCP/IP.

NDDS presents application developers with a publish-subscribe model that removes the complexity from one-to-many communications, distributes data quickly and efficiently over standard networks, supports automatic discovery, and provides automatic hot-swap substitution.

NDDS eliminates complex network programming and provides:

  • Anonymous communication using proven publish-subscribe model
  • Operating system independent (both real-time and workstation operating system support)
  • Visualization tools to debug system with many nodes
