Development of a hardware prototype for a communication system

The client needs a hardware system as a bridge between an automation and an office network. He wants to install an already existing software system on the hardware that accepts data from the automation systems and forwards it to the office equipment.

For communication a core module from Digi International is used. The RTOS ThreadX is ideal for communication with the controllers.

The connection to the office equipment is realized with the core module triceps VI of the company Keith & Koepp. The operating system is Windows CE.

The system is developed as a prototype by IBU:

  1. Schematic and Layout
  2. production of three prototypes
  3. development of a test software that ensures the function of the hardware
  4. integration in an aluminium housing inclusive print and rail mounting
  5. detailed documentation

Die Fakten

  1. Power Supply 24V
  2. 4 digital outputs (0.5A)
  3. Several LED to visualize the status
  4. Up to 3 minutes running on supply voltage breakdown
  5. 1 X Ethernet 10 BaseT with ARM9 processor and real time operating system (Connect ME 9210)
  6. Ethernet 10/100 BaseT with 1 X Marvell XScale processor SODIMM-200 format with SD Card (triceps VI)
