Use Case

Simple microcontroller programming according to IEC 61131-3

The automotive industry requires many different microcontroller-based systems, which are increasingly being used for the control of decentralised tasks.

Leveraging our engineering toolchain and functionally safe control elements, we design fully integrable comprehensive systems that simplify the process of standardizing and configuring microcontrollers. These systems attain certification up to the safety standard SIL 3.

Requirements

  • Microprocessor solutions with a small footprint, cost-effective implementation, and rapid time to market for decentralized control components
  • Integration of existing runtime environments must also be possible (only scheduling of newly created applications by the engineering tool required)
  • Programming not only in high-level languages but also in IEC 61131-3 languages.
  • Simple parameterization by the OEM user, integrated with ODM's diagnostic and configuration tools
  • Interface with Matlab/Simulink to directly import code from model-based development
  • Combination of C/C++ and IEC languages
    Text-based storage of all project files to enable automatic external content generation
  • Headless build to automatically compile the automatically generated sources.
  • Support for Autosar

Status

  • Customers want to integrate various microcontroller-based control systems they use into a single integrated system
  • The integrated system is increasingly used for controlling decentralized tasks

Solution/Toolkit

  • Freely scalable runtime systems (Neuron RTS max / Neuron RTS micro and Neuron RTS nano)
  • Engineering environment Neuron Power Engineer
  • Integrated test management
  • SDK Package (Software Development Kit) for flexible expansion possibilities (embedding a custom hardware and signal configurator) through API
  • PTK (Platform Tool Kit) for compilation and optimization for the custom target platform ensures minimal resource and memory consumption
