Industrial Automation

Some of the world’s most demanding high-speed control and automation applications are running on standard Windows PCs using IntervalZero’s Embedded software solutions.

Customers have eliminated their dedicated “real-time” PCs, DSPs and PLCs in favor of an RTX-enabled unified Windows-based control system.

Using RTX, companies such as Siemens, Honda, MDSI and Hurco are delivering high-performance control systems for Computerized Numerical Control, Motion-Control, Material Handling/Sortation and Discrete Control.

The benefits include:

• Reduced material costs
• Reduced development times
• More flexible and customizable systems
• Reduced field-support costs

RTX loads as a driver to Windows and takes over the Windows scheduler and interrupt service. RTX processes have 128 priority levels - all higher than Windows and microsecond response time.

RTX has real-time support for all of the popular communication protocols such as TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, ControlNet/DeviceNet, Profibus, ASI, Industrial Ethernet and others.
