Xilinx Demonstrates All Programmable Solutions for Industrial Automation Applications at SPS/IPC/Drives 2014
All Programmable FPGAs and SoCs enable differentiated, highly integrated, and system cost optimized solutions for Industry 4.0 applications
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) will demonstrate All Programmable solutions for industrial automation applications at SPS/IPC/Drives 2014. Xilinx, systems companies and ecosystem partners will demonstrate how Xilinx All Programmable FPGAs and SoCs enable differentiated, highly integrated, and system cost optimized solutions for Industry 4.0 factories. Applications include motor control, multilevel inverters, industrial networking, machine vision and functional safety. Visit the Xilinx Stand in Hall 4 #169 at SPS/IPC/Drives 2014, November 25-27, at Nuremberg Messe.
Xilinx and Ecosystem Demonstrations - Hall 4-169
   -- High Performance Silicon Carbide Multilevel Inverter - Presented by
       QDESYS This demonstration showcases a Zynq®-7010 All Programmable SoC
       based three level TNPC implementation with low THD (distortion), high
       ratio power/volume, three level modulation with very low EMI, low
       switching loss, and ultra-fast control loops.
   -- EtherCAT® Fast Drive - Presented by QDESYS This demonstration
       presents a high performance EtherCAT electric drive with an embedded
       EtherCAT slave controller IP core from Beckhoff GmbH. It provides a
       system response time of 62.5 microns and fast control loops for energy
       efficient motor control.
   -- Embedded Computer Vision for Intelligent Stations - Presented by Silicon
       Software This demonstration showcases high image processing speed and
       safe recognition of inspected objects by combining the programmable
       logic in the Zynq All Programmable SoC with Visual Applets from Silicon
       Software.
   -- Anybus on Zynq All Programmable SoC- Presented by HMS This demonstration
       displays how HMS selected the Zynq All Programmable SoC for products
       that integrate Industrial Ethernet. By utilizing Anybus at the base, a
       comprehensive platform that leverages the capabilities of All
       Programmable SoCs is demonstrated through the Econ 100 as the first Zynq
       SoC-based product by IXXAT.
   -- Maximum Bandwidth Over Industrial Networks - Presented by ZHAW This
       demonstration showcases how a hardware accelerated Profinet
       implementation in an FPGA allows the utilization of the full bandwidth
       of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) without compromising real-time control
       loop capabilities.
   -- High Availability Cyber-Physical System - Presented by SoC-e This
       demonstration displays zero loss switchover between networks and
       synchronization between two Netboxes with embedded Bluetooth
       connectivity for monitoring and maintenance. Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs with
       IP core solutions from SoC-e provide low latency at low resource
       consumption with solutions for HSR (High Availability Seamless Ring),
       PRP (Parallel Redundancy Ring), and IEEE1588-2008.
   -- IEC 61508 Functional Safety Solution - Presented by Xilinx This
       demonstration highlights a safety-oriented motor control system that is
       based on two Xilinx processors running in dual-core lock-stepping mode
       at the core of the IDF/IVT Xilinx demonstrator. The design transforms a
       single core industrial grade application into a dual-core lockstep
       system that ensures high reliability and dependability for functional
       safety systems.
