INtime software EtherCAT master 'RSI-ECAT'

In recent times, there are concerns about a renewed global semiconductor shortage due to the explosive proliferation of generative AI. MicroNet Co., Ltd. proposes new measures to address "procurement risks" in industrial system development. This column points out the vulnerabilities of the traditional "distributed system (a configuration that separates hardware by function)." As a solution, it explains the effectiveness of "software integration," which consolidates functions onto a single PC using the real-time OS "INtime." Reducing the number of components and establishing a development system that does not rely on specific hardware serves as a strong defense against delivery delays and rising costs. We encourage you to read this as a hint for building systems that are not affected by procurement difficulties.

At the Osaka-Kansai Expo, the "K.L.V" (Kinetic Light Vision) displayed at the Shiga Prefecture booth in the Kansai Pavilion won the Gold Award in the Entertainment Space category of the "Japan Space Design Award 2025." For "K.L.V," our control controller was adopted to manage the translucent acrylic spheres suspended by wires. The control controller achieved control of 450 motors connected via EtherCAT at a cycle of 4 milliseconds. There is an actual video in the related links section. https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000018.000026058.html
