Mitsubishi Electric Selects eSOL’s Real-time OS and IDE for its MELSEC-Q Series C Language Controller
Ensures Real-Time Capability and Reliability in Factory Automation and Industrial Systems
Tokyo, Japan. May 9, 2014 –eSOL,
a leading developer of real-time embedded software solutions, announced today
that Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has adopted eSOL's eT-Kernel real-time
OS-based software platform for use in Mitsubishi's Q24DHCCPU-LS C Language
Controller. eSOL's eT-Kernel Platform ensures fast real-time performance and
high reliability in factory automation (FA) systems using the Q24DHCCPU-LS
controller. The eT-Kernel Platform enables developers to reuse software assets
developed for µITRON, the most popular real-time OS in Japan and other Asian countries.
The
Q24DHCCPU-LS C Language Controller—one of Mitsubishi's MELSEC-Q high-speed,
high-performance programmable logic controllers (PLCs)—enables the use of widely
available C language software assets. eSOL's eT-Kernel/Compact real-time OS can
be installed on the MPU that is dedicated to the user's program. Each
Q24DHCCPU-LS controller also features Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB connectors,
an SD card slot, and a PCI Express® expansion connector for high-speed
communication with higher-level systems or handling large amounts of data. The
MELSEC-Q controllers are designed and manufactured to perform well in harsh FA
and industrial environments.
eSOL's
eT-Kernel Platform has been adopted in a wide variety of embedded systems
including FA, industrial, in-vehicle, and consumer devices. The eT-Kernel
Platform features the eT-Kernel real-time OS, together with the eBinder
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), middleware components—including file
systems, network protocols, USB stacks and graphics tools—and professional
services. The eT-Kernel offers three scalable profiles to choose from,
depending on system size and purpose—among them a compact RTOS with real-time
capabilities and a POSIX-compliant RTOS with high Linux compatibility. eSOL's eBinder
IDE streamlines eT-Kernel-based application development while ensuring high
quality.
"We
are pleased to announce that Mitsubishi Electric selected our eT-Kernel
Platform for their Q24DHCCPU-LS C Language Controller," said Hiroaki Kamikura,
General Manager of the Embedded Products Division, eSOL. "The eT-Kernel
Platform enables software developers using Q24DHCCPU-LS to efficiently develop
high-quality software in a short period of time at low cost. Our eT-Kernel
Platform has been adopted in aerospace systems, FA and industrial equipment,
car navigation systems, and consumer products worldwide."
