The Breakthrough of Embedded Computing Technology
Progressive embedded computing technology overcomes traditional engineering obstacles, allowing easier changeover from PC-Based Controllers to Programmable Automation
Controllers.
Standard Programming Language:
Operators in the plant need to fix malfunctions and recover systems in the shortest amount
time. By using ladder diagrams, they can recover the system manually by forcing the coils
to return to the default status and fix the affected codes. Now, the IEC-61131-3 standard
can allow up to 5 PLC programmable languages, which allows manufacturers to save on
developing time by using three kinds of graphical mixed languages.
Openness of Automation Architecture:
The use of Ethernet TCP/IP, Internet and IT standards maximizes data integration
throughout an enterprise. In a collaborative manufacturing environment, the multi-
functional capabilities of a PAC enable easy access and exchange of production process
information, and connect factory-floor operations to enterprise-level systems. Where
traditional PLC products require proprietary programming languages, a PAC can be
commanded using IT standards, such as SQL queries, and open data transfer technology,
such as OLE for process control (OPC) and extensible markup language (XML). This
provides faster updates of actual, not copied, data, and consumes minimal bandwidth
because the enterprise system does not have to poll the controllers. Rather, the PAC’s
send data based on events.

Stable Operating System:
Industrial applications require highly stable operating systems to satisfy certain conditions
such as real-time functions, system crashes and unpredictable system resets. The
embedded operating systems such as Windows CE and Embedded XP are typical in the
market. Windows CE can meet the real-time application requirements. Embedded XP is
a modularized Windows XP. After proper programming, the control program can work
correctly even the system is under blue screen status. Through Embedded XP’s SP2 EWF
function, engineers have no fear of OS crash by an unexpected system reset.
Reliable Parts:
PAC’s have removed unreliable moving parts, such as fans and hard disks. Low power
consumption CPU’s and fanless technologies are mature now. The wide operating
temperature (-40 ~ 85° C) of CF cards as well as Ethernet Chips is available in the
market. High capacity CF cards with sizes up to 2GB are also common and standard in
the market today.
