Koenig Prozessautomatisierungs GmbH (KPA) announces support for Freescale Semiconductor processors based on Power Architecture® technology in its EtherCAT Master and Slave stacks. Freescale processors based on Power Architecture technology have been a prominent CPU architecture for embedded applications in factory automation, process control and motion industries. “The KPA EtherCAT stacks are a natural fit in performance for the Power Architecture products”, said Mr. Gerhard Spiegel, Manager at KPA.
Operation of the KPA EtherCAT master will be demonstrated while it is interacting with a KPA EtherCAT slave both running on Power Architecture processors at the Forum in Orlando this month. The master stack works with QNX Neutrino® RTOS, running on a QorIQTM P2 platform processor. The slave stack runs with QNX on a PowerQUICC® processor along with a KPA EtherCAT PCI card. The KPA EtherCAT Studio (EtherCAT configuration and diagnostics tool) is used for configuration and monitoring of network activities.
“Freescale Semiconductor has long served the industrial control and networking market, and we work closely with industrial solution providers such as KPA to provide seamless solutions for these applications”, said Alexandra Dopplinger, Global Industrial Segment Lead, Freescale Semiconductor. “We are delighted to feature KPA-enabled EtherCAT demos and sessions at our Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando.”
