Realization of PC-free design scheme for automobile production

By replacing the on-site computer with a C language controller and GOT, the reliability of the information system is improved.

Solution 1 Use GOT instead of computer to save space

The GOT can be used to easily construct the display and operation parts of the device. Therefore, there is no need to set up computers and racks on site to ensure the required working space.

Solution 2 is not restricted by OS and can handle multiple OSs
The C language controller adopts an architecture that does not depend on the OS, so you can freely customize it just by choosing a general-purpose OS.
The C language controller unit adopts the 2MPU architecture that does not depend on the OS.
The OS customized according to the customer's application can be installed on the MPU (Intel® ATOMTM) for user program execution.
The MPU for user program execution can access the MPU for system control (SH-4A) that directly controls the programmable controller system unit based on the OS in real time. By using the products of partners such as Lineo Solutions Co., Ltd., sample codes based on Linux® can be used in the control system.

Solution 3 Maintain the build environment by replacing it with a programmable controller

Programmable controller products have a long life cycle and will not be unstable in supply due to board shutdowns and other reasons like computers. Once the system is built, it can be maintained for a long time, which can reduce maintenance and management costs.
Programmable controllers do not require frequent software upgrades or product replacements like systems using computers, so maintenance costs can be drastically reduced.
By adopting a programmable controller system using a C language controller, existing programs and communication protocols can be effectively used. There is no need for high maintenance costs due to changes and reconstruction of the hardware architecture.
In addition, the MELSEC control system is not based on the computer's OS system, so not only does it not need to worry about viruses, but the security of the entire control system can also be strengthened.
