Industrial IoT Solutions on show at SPS IPC Drives

Xilinx’s system architects and alliance members will demonstrate differentiated, highly integrated, and system cost optimised solutions for motor control, multilevel inverters, industrial networking, machine vision, and functional safety/security applications. Visit the Xilinx Stand in Hall 4 #249 at SPS IPC Drives 2016, 22^nd to 24^th November, at Nuremberg Messe.

Xilinx and Ecosystem Demonstrations – Hall 4-24

All Programmable Industrial Control System - presented by Xilinx and BE.services

• This demonstration will showcase an Industrial Control System (ICS) that highlights the All Programmable capabilities of the Zynq SoC and Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices for Industry 4.0 automation. It is a preconfigured, fully functional ICS, which can be customised and extended without compromising determinism, enabling differentiation and faster time to market.

Zynq-7000 functional safety reference system – presented by Xilinx and Ikerlan

• This reference system on the Zynq SoC showcases two safety channels with fault injection capabilities that enable comprehensive functional safety verification. This demonstration will present this solution as a template for single-chip custom safety solutions, reducing the BOM cost of a safety design.

IO-Link sensor integration for big data analytics – presented by SoC-e

• In this demonstration, Zynq SoCs and Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoCs will form a high availability and time-aware network with gateway functions and direct sensor interfaces. Data processing throughout both devices allows for greater integration of more functions in a common unit that reduces the cost and size of the solution by making the dedicated gateway hardware obsolete.

Software defined/ hardware accelerated radar signal processing – presented by Ruhr University Bochum

• The demonstration highlights the advantage of using the SDSoC Development Environment for industrial control. It displays a levitating iron ball in a magnetic field with continuous position monitoring. Control loops are developed in software and are moved to the programmable logic portion of the Zynq device with SDSoC to achieve the fastest FFT to run a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar application for position detection.

High performance silicon carbide three-level Iinverter – presented by QDESYS

• This demonstration showcases a three-level inverter with twelve modulators and fast parallel control loops in the Zynq SoC. The reference board utilised in this demonstration includes silicon carbide power stages in a small form factor that allows for higher switching frequencies, lower EMI, lower losses, and up to 40% higher output power compared to standard two-level inverters.

Industrial networking and IIoT connectivity – presented by Avnet

• In conjunction with Avnet, Xilinx will showcase the Avnet Industrial IoT Starter Kit which exhibits sensor-to-cloud connectivity and the Avnet Industry 4.0 Ethernet Kit, which supports five popular industrial Ethernet protocols with the Anybus IP from HMS.
