KINGSTAR Soft Motion provides all the benefits of a software solution to motion control in an automatically configured EtherCAT environment with “plug-and-play” compatibility. With the highest quality and performance of pre-integrated and pre-tested motion libraries, KINGSTAR delivers motion control at half the cost of traditional hardware platforms. Deliver Software-Only Motion Control and Positioning Systems Quickly and Affordably KINGSTAR Soft Motion is an open and standards-based, software-only solution that streamlines motor control and automation. Soft Motion runs directly on the PC, uses the NIC card for I/O, and uses the powerful EtherCAT protocol to free you from the shackles of proprietary and costly hardware. With Soft Motion, motion control engineers can design, develop and integrate PC-based machine controllers in a “plug-and-play” environment for consolidated, inexpensive and scalable motion and vision control.

TSEP and IntervalZero agree on a technology partnership
POSTED 04/09/2018
TSEP and IntervalZero agree on a technology partnership – cooperation focused on real-time IEEE1588 master stack for Windows.
Wolnzach, TSEP and IntervalZero agree on a cooperation to port the IEEE 1588 stack from TSEP to RTX64. This makes it possible to develop applications with exact time synchronization under Windows with real-time properties.
The IEEE 1588 stack from TSEP provides all means necessary for a time synchronization via so-called end-to-end (E2E) connections and specified according to IEEE 1588-2008 (version 2). In addition, a general synchronization algorithm is included, which allows synchronization in the range of 40ns. However, it is always possible to define your own synchronization algorithm and to integrate it easily. The IEEE 1588 stack is therefore a good choice for users for whom IEEE 1588 compliance is a necessary requirement. The IEEE 1588 stack has been completely developed in C ++ and according to the C ++ 11 standard. “By working with IntervalZero, we can offer real-time solutions under Windows. For TSEP, this collaboration also represents another step in the development of communication solutions and a consistent continuation of our global expansion, ” said Peter Plazotta, CEO of TSEP.
IntervalZero RTX64 transforms Windows into a real-time operating system (RTOS). Already existing partnerships allow customers of IntervalZero the use of software stacks for EtherCAT and CANopen, which can run on its own core, independently of delays caused by Windows. The partnership with TSEP now adds an IEEE 1588 stack that meets future requirements for IEEE1588 or PTP (Precision Time Protocol). The generic approach of the IEEE 1588 stack from TSEP combines the possibilities of PTP with the real-time solution of IntervalZero under Windows into a very interesting solution. With the deterministic nature of RTX64, the synchronization algorithm can be realized much more precisely for comparison with the IEEE 1588 master. “This approach is in line with our platform strategy, and helps our customers to consolidate dedicated systems into a single multi-core PC“ said Fabrice Boisset, General Manager for EMEA at IntervalZero.

About TSEP
TSEP is a system house specializing in the development of system-related software in the areas of telecommunications, telecommunications, measurement technology and automotive since 1988. Since 2005, TSEP has also been developing hardware solutions for its customers. Here, TSEP not only offers the hardware solution (circuit diagram, layout, production, etc.), but also the software-technical integration of the hardware in the operating system and the application. In 2008, TSEP also expanded its activities to the automotive sector. Here, developments were mainly carried out in the field of entertainment. Since 2015, TSEP has grown internationally! As early as 2014, TSEP began working with an American consortium (LXI Consortium) on standardization to address gage manufacturers around the world.
