Xilinx Demonstrates All Programmable Solutions for Industrial Automation Applications at SPS/IPC/Drives 2014

SAN JOSE, Calif.Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) will demonstrate All Programmable solutions for industrial automation applications at SPS/IPC/Drives 2014.  Xilinx, systems companies and ecosystem partners will demonstrate how Xilinx All Programmable FPGAs and SoCs enable differentiated, highly integrated, and system cost optimized solutions for Industry 4.0 factories. Applications include motor control, multilevel inverters, industrial networking, machine vision and functional safety.  Visit the Xilinx Stand in Hall 4 #169 at SPS/IPC/Drives 2014, November 25-27, at Nuremberg Messe.  

Xilinx and Ecosystem Demonstrations – Hall 4-169

  • High Performance Silicon Carbide Multilevel Inverter – Presented by QDESYS 
    This demonstration showcases a Zynq®-7010 All Programmable SoC based three level TNPC implementation with low THD (distortion), high ratio power/volume, three level modulation with very low EMI, low switching loss, and ultra-fast control loops.  
  • EtherCAT® Fast Drive – Presented by QDESYS 
    This demonstration presents a high performance EtherCAT electric drive with an embedded EtherCAT slave controller IP core from Beckhoff GmbH. It provides a system response time of 62.5 microns and fast control loops for energy efficient motor control.
  • Embedded Computer Vision for Intelligent Stations – Presented by Silicon Software This demonstration showcases high image processing speed and safe recognition of inspected objects by combining the programmable logic in the Zynq All Programmable SoC with Visual Applets from Silicon Software. 
  • Anybus on Zynq All Programmable SoC– Presented by HMS 
    This demonstration displays how HMS selected the Zynq All Programmable SoC for products that integrate Industrial Ethernet. By utilizing Anybus at the base, a comprehensive platform that leverages the capabilities of All Programmable SoCs is demonstrated through the Econ 100 as the first Zynq SoC-based product by IXXAT. 
  • Maximum Bandwidth Over Industrial Networks – Presented by ZHAW 
    This demonstration showcases how a hardware accelerated Profinet implementation in an FPGA allows the utilization of the full bandwidth of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) without compromising real-time control loop capabilities. 
  • High Availability Cyber-Physical System – Presented by SoC-e 
    This demonstration displays zero loss switchover between networks and synchronization between two Netboxes with embedded Bluetooth connectivity for monitoring and maintenance.  Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs with IP core solutions from SoC-e provide low latency at low resource consumption with solutions for HSR (High Availability Seamless Ring), PRP (Parallel Redundancy Ring), and IEEE1588-2008. 
  • IEC 61508 Functional Safety Solution – Presented by Xilinx 
    This demonstration highlights a safety-oriented motor control system that is based on two Xilinx processors running in dual-core lock-stepping mode at the core of the IDF/IVT Xilinx demonstrator.  The design transforms a single core industrial grade application into a dual-core lockstep system that ensures high reliability and dependability for functional safety systems.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
