The Exor Value Proposition, we give you more…

1. More Models (60+). We have a solution that will fit your need and cost requirements.

2. More Software drivers than anyone (175+). You can work with just about anybody’s controller.

3. More connectivity. Free Gateway making it easy to get hardware from different suppliers to talk together as a system.

4. More Flexible. Add a PLC/embedded controller to anything we make.

5. More Value. Bigger “bang for the dollar”.

6. One HMI configuration software package, learn it once and use it for all your HMI applications from text to graphics to whatever you might need.

Market Challenges that UniOPEN Solves

Projects must be on time to maximize revenue! OEMs’ product life cycles grow shorter, and feature sets increase in

complexity. OEMs want to provide more product features while lowering cost. OEMs need flexible, easy to customize solutions with short delivery times.


15

UniOPEN – Based on Proven Technology

EXOR has been using and building this core “building block” library for over 15 years.

Over 50,000+ UniOPs are sold each year.

EXOR has extensive experience in embedded system design and FPGA technology.


16

UniOPEN – “Building Block” Foundation

• UniOPEN system solutions are created from a proven foundation of powerful embedded “Building Blocks”

• Based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)


17

Key Components of the UniOPEN Solution

Hardware functionality programmed into a FPGA

Based on flexible and easy to use “Function Blocks”.

Small modules compatible with TpWire standard.

Interconnections between HMI and field I/O is a fast programmable bus.

20 “Building Block” hw and sw modules currently available.

Multiple CPUs from simple to very powerful


18

Shorter Development Cycles Increase Revenue Potential

Source: Harvard Study* Bases on an average of 391 different sized designs.


19

What is an FPGA?

A “blank” fully software configurable chip.

Unlimited re-programming.

No Integrated Circuit fabrication is required – done in sw.

Provides instant manufacturing turnaround & very low-cost prototypes. Low HW NRE costs.

Programmed in minutes to offer the same functionality & performance as ASICs.


20

FPGA Die

Up to 10 Million Programmable Gates Today – 65 nm. Over 500 User I/O Pins.

26

UniOPEN “Semi-Custom” Solutions

Where it fits best

Cost and time-to-market are critical

Customization is important

100’s to 1,000’s of units per year

Pros

Provides the best price vs. performance

Empowers OEM to focus on “value added areas”

Leverages from Sitek’s hardware and software expertise as well as their investment in R&D

Shortens product development cycle

Cons

OEM’s solution is only as good as the company they partner with
