Building the connected factory

Poor interoperability is a major challenge for networking in industrial settings. Find out how to solve the problem with the latest hardware supporting the Intel® Intelligent Systems Framework.

As the number of embedded devices in industrial applications skyrocket, designers are faced with a growing list of connectivity,manageability, and security problems. Each of these devices along with the central control hub must be able to share and react to streaming data as part of an overall plan to optimize productivity while minimizing support costs. For example, this real time data can be used to identify production bottlenecks and enable remote diagnostics to predict maintenance needs. However, the biggest problem today in many industrial settings is poor interoperability among the individual devices and systems...

LynxOS 7.0 meets the increasing security requirements for RTOS

In this webinar,  Lynux Works’ John Blevins, introduces LynxOS 7.0 RTOS which allows developers to embed military-grade security directly into their devices by utilizing features such as access control lists, audit, quotas, local trusted path, account management, trusted menu manager and OpenPAM. 

LynxOS 7.0 also contains networking support for long haul networks with TCP/IPV4, IPV6, 2G/3G/4G cellular and WiMax communication stacks. Additional support includes the short-haul networks common with M2M applications such as 802.11 WiFi, ZigBee wireless mesh and BlueTooth.

Embedded Control in the age of M2M Communication and the Internet of Things

Speaker:

• Tim Taberner, Product Strategy Manager, Eurotech

Abstract:

• Machine to machine communication is changing. The number of connected devices is forecast to grow exponentially, bringing vast amounts of data from currently unmonitored assets. This data will need to be integrated with that from more traditional control systems and made available to a wide variety of applications and stakeholders, and this will require new architectures and implementation methodologies.
• In this webinar, we discuss the problems faced by the industry as it migrates into this new world, and the place and characteristics of the middleware layer needed to enable the change.

Date & Time:

• The webinar will start on June 26 at 15h00 (Central European Summer Time)
• Including Q&A session the webinar will take around 45 minutes

Maximize uptime in the connected factory

By Joe Lin, NEXCOM

Monitoring the many devices that keep today's production lines running in optimal condition is a major challenge. This article will explain how the fanless industrial computers NISE 3640 can be used as a control and communication gateway that links cross automation hierarchy levels to monitor and control the devices connected to it in real time.

NEXCOM's NISE 3640 brings together the 3rd generation Intel Core processor, NEXCOM XCare remote monitoring and management software, and McAfee Solidcore security software; and uses the Intel Intelligent System Framework which gives developers a standards-based, interoperable platform for connectivity, security, and manageability....

Dual-channel colorimeter with programmable gain transimpedance amplifiers and synchronous detectors

This “Circuits from the Lab” paper introduces a dual-channel colorimeter with programmable gain transimpedance amplifiers and synchronous detectors that measures the ratio of light absorbed by the sample and reference containers at three different wavelengths. Circuits from the Lab reference circuits are engineered and tested for quick and easy system integration to help solve today’s analog, mixed-signal, and RF design challenges.

The circuit provides an efficient solution for many chemical analysis and environmental monitoring instruments used to measure concentrations and characterize materials through absorption spectroscopy. The photodiode receiver conditioning path includes a programmable gain transimpedance amplifier for converting the diode current into a voltage and for allowing analysis ofdifferent liquids having wide variations in light absorption. The 16-bit sigma delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides additional dynamic range and ensures sufficient resolution for a wide range of photodiode output currents…

Efficient remote management for embedded platforms

This White Paper is presented by AMD

Out of Band (OOB) remote management can help to optimize the total cost of ownership of distributed embedded platforms. However, existing implementations are over designed and therefore too costly for embedded systems applications. Now, AMD has created an open source solution that removes the bloat of costly implementations while retaining the essentials of a compliant OOB implementation.
