PLCcore with OpenPCS32-bit System On Module with Linux and IEC 61131-3

The SYS TEC electronic PLCcore is a state-of-the-art System On Module (SOM) integrating a production-ready hardware and a comprehensive software environment for industrial automation technology. Using SYS TEC electronic PLCcore technology enables product engineers to bring new ideas to market in the most timely and cost-efficient manner.

The PLCcore-9263 combines a performance-optimized and industry-proven hardware platform with the IEC 61131-3 programming environment OpenPCS by infoteam Software. The pre-installed runtime system includes CANopen and Ethernet connectivity. Open interfaces allow for extending the run-time system with own functionalities. This makes the PLCcore a most flexible controller platform.

The PLCcore conceptThe SYS TEC electronic ECUcore module is anmicroprocessor sub-assembly combining all necessaryhardware components and a pre-installed platform-optimized Linux on an insert-ready System on Module(SOM). Product developers may easily developand integrate own C/C++ application based on thedevelopment environment delivered with the ECUcoreDevelopmentKit.

When adding an IEC 61131-3 runtime system (i.e.OpenPCS) to the ECUcore, then it becomes a PLCcore.TheIEC61131-3RTSonthePLCcoreincludesCANopenManager and Ethernet connectivity, an optional targetvisualization(dependingonthehardwaresupportavailableontheECUcore)aswellastheSharedProcessImageAPI.

The Shared Process Image API was developed bySYS TEC electronic to provide an abstract and target independent application interface to integrate user-writtenC/C++applicationorI/Odrivercode.Thisallowsforcreatingcustomizedapplication-specificfirmwareversionswithouttheneedforbuyinganownOpenPCSdevelopmentlicense.TheSharedProcessImagetechnologyissupportedbyallPLCcoremodulessince2007.

Based on the PLCcore Development Kit product developers can develop own C/C++ applications and integrate those withthe IEC 61131-3 runtime system using the Shared Process Image API. In addition the PLCcore Development Kit includesan IEC 61131-3 Development System to develop IEC 61131-3 applications on the PLCcore in all 5 programming methods(IL, ST, CFC, LD, SFC). For OEM that develop PLCcore-based products the redistribution of the IEC 61131-3 developmentsystem to their end-customers is free-of-charge. In case your product design requires a customized Linux (Kernel) I/O driveror youneed tomakemodificationson theon-board FPGAandwant touse SYSTECelectronicVHDL sources, then theDriverDevelopment Kit helps product developers to accelerate their work by using pre-tested source code functionality fromSYSTECelectronic.
