Kithara »RealTime Suite« for Windows (Timer, Ethernet, EtherCAT, Profibus and CAN)

Kithara »RealTime Suite«  (Keywords: ethercat, realtime ethernet, machine control)

Kithara Software is a specialist for real-time extensions under Windows, automation with EtherCAT, Profibus, CAN and industrial communication solutions. So the software supports developing of real-time applications – e.g. for machine control and automation solutions.

The Kithara »RealTime Suite« is especially recommended for engineers and software developers in an industrial environment of automation and control engineering. The effort of practicing will be reduced clearly because of simply applicable functions and programming interfaces. That speeds up the developing process and the required developement time will be reduced essentially.

Users stay in their usual programming environment without having to develop a kernel driver. The software directly supports the programming languages C/C++ and Delphi and with limitation C# and the .NET-environment.

The platform independent development of Plug&Play drivers will be facilitated clearly. Provided mechanisms are:

• High precision real-time timer for frequencies > 1 kHz
• Priority based preemptive real-time multitasking
• Real-time automation via own EtherCAT Master
• Real-time Profibus-Master for Hilscher-hardware
• Real-time CAN for multiple vendors (esd, EMS, IXXAT, Kvaser and Peak)
• Event controlled UDP and TCP communication in real-time via Fast Ethernet (100 MBit/s) and Gigabit Ethernet (1 GBit/s)
• Hardware dependent programming: I/O ports, phys. memory, interrupts
• Supportig PCI and PCMCIA cards, USB devices, serial COM interfaces
• Windows 7 - Windows Vista (x86) - Windows XP (Embedded) - Windows Server 2003 - Windows 2000
• Code accomplishment on kernel level supports C/C++ and Delphi (Win32)

The Kithara »RealTime Suite« includes various application examples. Under „www.kithara.de“ are provided a free test version with full functional range, references and further information to all our solutions.

The »RealTime Suite« is especially recommended for engineers and software developers in an industrial environment of automation and control engineering.
