March 14, 2013 - KW-Software,announces its IEC 61131 runtime system for PLCs on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable platform. Whether with or without subordinate operating system, KW-Software´s ProConOS embedded CLR (eCLR) provides all functionalities required for the realization of a complete PLC on the basis of embedded platforms like Zynq-7000 devices. The platforms have multitasking capability, support of system events, provision of a device interface for commissioning, along with debugging and monitoring. ProConOS eCLR is based on .NET technology from Microsoft and uses an Ahead-Of-Time-Compiler (AOT), which compiles the CIL intermediate code already in advance.
This way, embedded applications benefit from optimized real-time properties. The processing of native machine code makes control solutions based on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC extremely fast. ProConOS eCLR can be programmed in C# and in IEC 61131 languages. ”KW-Software´s PLC runtime system completes the portfolio of application level solutions for Xilinx’ unique Zynq All Programmable platform for PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller). Our automation customers are now able to easily access and use our leading-edge and proven Zynq-7000 AP SoC as the basis for high performance industrial controller solutions”, said Christoph Fritsch, Director Business Segments, Industrial, Scientific and Medical.
