Unique MCU/Networking System Conquers Real-Time Control Problems (.PDF Download)

If you’re working on real-time (RT) control systems such as machine tools in factory automation or new automotive systems, you should know that some new and improved solutions in designing and implementing these systems are now available. A combination of Texas Instruments’ new C2000 series microcontrollers plus the networking technology of EtherCAT genuinely makes real-time system monitoring and control possible. Good solutions for demanding RT systems are hard to come by. This one delivers higher performance.

Real Time Defined

Real time (RT) means “right now.” The term infers not so much of an instantaneous response, but one that’s fast enough to satisfy some predefined requirement. Any system declared as being real time must be able to respond to commands within a certain time period demanded by the application. There should be minimum or no delay or latency.
