TenAsys Teams with 3S to bring CoDeSys to INtime

3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH has ported CoDeSys, their popular IEC 61131-3 PLC programming system, to the INtime real-time operating system for Windows. Be sure to visit the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) and TenAsys booths at the SPS Drives show in Nürnberg, Germany this November for a live demonstration of this exciting development.

Beaverton, OR – Oct 25, 2005 - TenAsys Corporation and 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH announce immediate availability of CoDeSys SP (OEM) for the INtime real-time operating system on Windows. CoDeSys is one of the most powerful IEC 61131-3 programming systems for soft PLCs and industrial controllers. Over 150 OEMs rely on CoDeSys for PLC operation.

With access to the INtime SDK, OEMs building automated equipment can add their own real-time software components to CoDeSys, permitting very complex soft PLC programming applications to be built on a range of embedded hard real-time platforms. The scale of the INtime platform, which can run standalone or with Windows, offers tremendous flexibility for CoDeSys PLC applications. INtime can be deployed on very small footprint 386 embedded systems or on enterprise networked dual-core Windows XP systems; all with a single set of binaries and API.

CoDeSys SP (OEM) is available now for the INtime real-time operating system from 3S. Additional development tools for writing real-time applications on the INtime real-time kernel are available from TenAsys. Pricing is dependent on the project. Please contact either TenAsys or 3S for additional details.

About CoDeSys and 3S

CoDeSys is one of the most powerful IEC 61131-3 programming tools for programmable logic controllers available today. All five programming languages of the IEC standard are supported. CoDeSys combines the power of advanced programming languages such as C with the easy handling and operational functions of PLC systems.

Native code generators guarantee optimal performance of your control system. Intelligent algorithms, such as 'incremental compile,' realize large projects with thousands of global variables and hundreds of components in surprisingly short compiling time spans. CoDeSys includes a broad range of high-performance development functions, such as all the data types specified by the IEC 61131-3 standard, offline simulation, and a variety of powerful debug functions including breakpoints, single stepping, power flow, sampling trace, and online change.

3S—Smart Software Solutions—is a leading software manufacturers in the European automation industry. Their primary focus is the development and distribution of the CoDeSys PLC system. Over 150 OEMs use CoDeSys to drive their automation solutions. 3S also offers a variety of integrated CoDeSys product extensions such as field bus configurators, a complete visualization system, and motion control modules.

About TenAsys and INtime

INtime software, the only protected-mode real-time operating system for Microsoft Windows, is fully integrated within the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET development environment. INtime applications execute with guaranteed determinism as fully-protected user-mode processes in concurrence with the Microsoft Windows operating system on standard PC hardware. Because real-time application code executes in user-mode the INtime environment is immune to application faults that crash kernel-mode driver solutions. Support for dual-core processors offers increased flexibility for supporting a range of Intel Architecture platforms.

Dual-core and SMP processor systems can be configured for shared or exclusive operation. A shared system splits one CPU between the INtime RTOS and Windows, whereas exclusive operation dedicates one CPU to the INtime RTOS and its real-time processes. You can edit, compile, link, and debug real-time processes without leaving the Microsoft VS.NET IDE. You have full access to breakpoints, source-level single-stepping, and watch variables to debug your real-time processes and threads, eliminating the need to master a second set of development tools.

In 2005, TenAsys celebrates 25 years of continuous use of their iRMX RTOS product. Customers worldwide have entrusted TenAsys’ RTOS products to provide reliable deterministic control of their Intel x86 architecture embedded computers in a wide array of mission critical applications including: medical, telecomm, industrial control, robotics, test & measurement, and military.

For the second year in a row Microsoft has recognized TenAsys as its Windows Embedded Partner of the Year. Cited for its efforts as an independent software vendor in enhancing the performance of Microsoft’s Windows operating system for mission-critical, real-time applications, TenAsys is the only software company to receive this award two years in a row.
