We have published the real-time control performance of the industrial PC 'Capture Vision (Model: BXA-CN)' manufactured by Hagiwara Solutions.

The definitive version of PC-based hard real-time control, "INtime."

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.

• Embedded OS

Software PLC that runs on Windows PC. It enables control systems through a PC-based virtual PLC.

This is a software PLC (soft PLC) that operates on a Windows PC. 【Feature 1】 PLC that operates on a Windows PC It uses PCs and external I/O from various manufacturers, resulting in high processing and computational performance, as well as excellent versatility and procurement. 【Feature 2】 Realization of an integrated system configuration from the conventional distributed system configuration For example, it is easy to integrate a display (touch panel), PLC functions, and temperature controllers. This reduces equipment costs and achieves zero communication throughput between devices. 【Feature 3】 Equipped with flexible scalability Performance, cost, and dimensions (space-saving) can be freely adjusted according to the application. There is no waste.

MECHATROLINK solution for INtime/INplc

【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

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2025" held in Fukuoka. ECAD is a dedicated CAD solution for electrical design, equipped with a wealth of features for control design and power distribution panel design, developed for domestic electrical designers over the past 40 years. It addresses challenges such as improving design quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing labor. At the venue, we will introduce the "Panel Manufacturing Skill-less Solution," which utilizes the panel manufacturing support system "WIRE CAM DX" to create pre-manufacturing information as a solution to the labor shortage issues in panel manufacturing that have traditionally required skilled workers. This enables less experienced operators to achieve high-quality manufacturing in processes such as wire processing, component assembly, and wiring work. We invite you to visit our exhibition booth. ■ Exhibition Name: Monozukuri Fair 2025 ■ Location: Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A & B ■ Booth Number: Hall B BN-9 ■ Dates: October 15 (Thursday) to October 17 (Saturday), 2025 (3 days) ■ Hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last day until 4:00 PM) *For more information about the exhibited products, please download the materials.
