The industrial PC "BXA-CN3B1N" manufactured by Hagiwara Solutions has been certified as INtime Ready.

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 is responsible for information processing such as HMI, databases, 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), among others. ■ Comprehensive technical support is provided. Dedicated staff will assist with handling and inquiries related to the product.

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, and expandability to match the target system being developed. 【MECHATROLINK Association】 https://products.mechatrolink.org/product/detail/id=27
