• Embedded OS

【High-Precision Real-Time Power】 Due to its characteristics, a PC can easily and affordably utilize the latest CPUs. However, high-precision and high-speed MECHATROLINK communication cannot be achieved by CPU performance alone. The real-time OS 'INtime' enables deterministic task scheduling. 【Function Integration】 In addition to motion control using MECHATROLINK, a single PC can handle a variety of software functions such as main control processing, sequence control, process control, and HMI. This achieves cost reduction and improved maintainability. 【Free PC Selection】 INtime and INplc can operate on any PC that runs Windows. This means that almost any PC is available for use, allowing for free selection of a PC based on price, size, expandability, and other factors to match the target system being developed. 【MECHATROLINK Association】 https://products.mechatrolink.org/product/detail/id=27

IKESU.net is a farm management system for aquaculture operators that uses cloud servers and controllers (aquaculture Edge controllers). It manages data such as air temperature and water temperature, measured by the aquaculture Edge controllers and various sensors installed in the fish pens, on a cloud server, which is utilized for remote monitoring and data analysis. Customers can log in to their dedicated IKESU.net page from a computer, smartphone, or tablet to view current values of air and water temperatures in the fish pens, as well as live camera footage, and remotely operate automatic feeders to provide feeding.

• Embedded OS

This product is a PC platform that collects and stores fieldbus communication data between controllers such as PLCs, PCs, motion controllers, and dedicated controllers, and sensors and actuators. ★ High-speed collection Data can be collected with a cycle of 0.1 milliseconds using a high-performance CPU, allowing for the capture of even slight signal changes. The data is stored in large-capacity storage. ★ Easy operation No specialized network knowledge is required. Data collection can be performed without changes to the on-site system, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. ★ Customizability Users can implement their own collection timing using the Windows API, and customization such as implementing alert functions based on the collected communication data is possible.

• Industrial PCs

INtime is an event-driven real-time operating system that operates in parallel on the same PC as Windows. It transforms a PC into a control controller for industrial systems, integrating the traditional "PLC + data processing PC + external I/O" into a single unit. ■ It enables high-performance real-time systems on a single industrial PC. ■ It operates on PCs for both commercial and industrial applications. ■ INtime handles control and external I/O, while Windows manages information processing such as HMI, DB, and AI. This division of roles allows for the integration of 'IT and OT' within the same enclosure. ■ Applications running on INtime are developed using Visual Studio, allowing for C/C++ implementation and debugging with the same feel as Windows applications. ■ PLC ladder language and Python can be utilized (optional). ■ Major industrial external I/O interfaces are available, including PCI/PCIe, serial, LAN, and fieldbus (CC-LINK, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, MECHATOROLINK). ■ Comprehensive technical support is provided, with dedicated staff available to assist with product handling and inquiries.
