REAL TIME COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATION

Real Time Computing (RTC) and Communication are terms referring to contexts where you need to guarantee the maximum computing performances and minimum latencies.

This is usually important in scientific and technical applications where timing is the main issue and a PLC-based approach is not enough.

 

In this field Microtecna can help customers with:

  • Definition and dimensioning of new high performance architectures from both the hardware and software points of view

  • Creation and optimization of custom real-time layers

  • Creation of optimized algorithms and protocols in order to guarantee the maximum data throughput and the minimum latency

  • Creation and maintenance of specialized applications able to perform calculations on tailored PCs, PLCs or Embedded Solutions

Classification Frameworks

Technologies: WINDOWS, RTOS, SENSORS, COMPUTER VISION, MOTION CONTROL, SAFETY

Keywords: SORTING, TRACEABILITY

Hybrid frameworks capable to manage scientific-tailored algorithms to sort object classes and dispatch them in apposite containers at  very high frequencies.
These solution are composed of a Windows based RTOS where sensors’ data are acquired at very high speed and RTC operations are performed. These system communicate (in hard-real-time) with hi-performance PLCs that manage the sorting operations through motion control technologies and hi-speed I/Os. The PLCs are also provided with integrated and certified safety solutions.

Control & Management of Aerospace Simulators

Technologies: IPC, PLC, MOTION CONTROL, FIELDBUS, SENSOR, ACTUATORS, SAFETY

Keywords: SIMULATOR, MACHINE CONTROL, CONDITION MONITORING, PDA

A hardware/software solution tailored to manage and control aerospace simulators.
Based on multiple technological layers (PLC/SAFE-PLC/IPC), this system manages multiple automation devices (handling systems, safety devices, …) to ensure the maximum safety and simulation quality. 
The solution can be integrated with external simulation softwares.
The operators interact with the system using multiple GUIs and devices. Different sensors recognize operators presence and automatically manage safety and manual operations. The solution is integrated with an internal PDA module (developed by Microtecna) to ensure fully traceability of the production process and perform condition monitoring on each machine.
