Software-Defined Instrumentation Design News, August 2008
By Kevin Bisking, National Instruments
Next-generation test systems must be flexible enough to support the wide variety of tests that differ among convergent products and they must be scalable enough to accommodate a larger number of tests as new measurement functionality is required. Software-defined instrumentation is the essential differentiator for meeting this test challenge.
RTOS Real-Time Performance vs. Ease of Use Embedded Computing, September 2008
By John Carbone, Express Logic
Real-time operating system (RTOS) vendors often make claims of “fast real-time performance,” “low interrupt latency,” and “rapid real-time response,” to convince developers to use their RTOS. The implication is that “faster is better,” and sub-microsecond interrupt response and context switch times are offered as compelling benefits.
Samsung Techwin Develops Real-Time Engine Simulation System By: Moon Sohk Chae, Power System Research Center
Developing a proper engine simulator was vital to our ability to verify the safe and reliable functioning of the gas turbine engine controller we were developing. To implement a safe and highly perfected engine controller, we had to come up with a method of verifying the controller hardware and its algorithm before they could be integrated with an actual engine.
PLM: 3D Process Simulation Delivers Control Engineering, September 2008
Market demands require manufacturers to bring products to market faster than ever, even though the products themselves have become more complex. They must work faster to create new, more flexible equipment while continuing to meet customers’ cost and quality requirements. Product lifecycle management (PLM) software provides a tool—3D process simulation—that can help alleviate the pressure. Two manufacturers describe why, and how.
Boiler Optimization and SCR Systems: Reducing NOX, Managing Tradeoffs Power Engineering, July 2008
By Rob James and Peter Spinney, NeuCo Inc.
Artificial intelligence-based optimization software is gaining traction as a tradeoff management tool. Optimization is particularly good at understanding the cause and effect impacts of multiple actions taken across multiple systems interacting in a dynamic environment. NeuCo, for example, is working with Babcock Power to more closely tie plant-wide economic optimization with SCR controls.
