Real-time applications in industrial environments

• Implementation of industrial applications with high performance requirements.
• Implementation of short response times of 10µs on a rugged hardware platform
• VxWorks can be used as a rugged, time-proven real-time operating system for industrial use

Integration in the SIMATIC automation environment

• PROFINET on-board for the high-performance, cyclic and isochronous transmission of user data via Industrial Ethernet
• PROFIBUS onboard as a time-tested, widespread fieldbus enables integration into a large number of fieldbus networks
• Use of the extended SIMATIC IPC monitoring functions (battery, temperature, fan), operating hours counter, and support of retentive memory, watchdog, S.M.A.R.T. to avoid system downtimes

Free programming and know-how protection

• Automation solutions can be efficiently programmed in C/C++
• Open programming interfaces
• Protection of technological expertise (application only available as executable code in the target system)
