TI Design Solutions highlighting Factory Automation and Contorl system solutions. These designs offer a broad selection of the right products, tools, software and support for system solutions in field transmitters, sensors and process instrumentation, industrial communication, programmable logic control (PLC), human machine interface (HMI) and industrial drives.

TI is previewing a new PLC I/O reference design and evaluation platform featuring industry’s first IEC61000 tested suite of PLC I/O module reference designs. These modules allow quick and easy evaluation of complete PLC I/O sub-systems, thereby simplifying design process and decreasing time to market. These I/O reference designs are supplemented with an evaluation platform leveraging TI’s Tiva-C™ MCUs along with a comprehensive performance evaluation GUI that helps accelerate evaluation process.

Integrated Drive Solution
Powerful application processor for single-chip-drives with integrated multi-protocol industrial Ethernet, industrial position feedback protocols, and motor control peripherals

Profinet RT device solution implemented on power saving technology. The low-power Sitara AM335x embedded processor hosts an Arm Cortex-A8 core up to 1GHz. It’s integrated Industrial Communication Subsystem enables applications using state-of-the-art industrial protocols – in this case a Profinet RT device. The demonstration is a live example of Profinet using a commercial PLC controlling three Profinet devices. Two of the devices are built using TI development boards showcasing a complete solution consisting of processor, interface and power management semiconductor parts – fully supported by TI software development kits.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) implementations are always ready to make use of more computing performance at lower power consumption and less space. In this demo, TI shows the partnership with 3S using the PLC software CoDeSys 3.5 on the upcoming Sitara AM5x processors, integrating two ARM Cortex-A15 cores, each operating at up to 1.5 GHz. The CoDeSys runtime is operating as an application on top of a Linux 3.8.13 real-time kernel and outputs visualization on a screen via HDMI. The PLC application contains a two-axis motor control system that is using CoDeSys Softmotion module and an embedded EtherCAT master to drive two off-the-shelf EtherCAT servo motors.

• Data Density and cost of transmission are increasing.
• How do you transmit high speed signals reliably & efficiently?
• Leverage the TLK10022 for high speed link aggregation.
  • Reduce long distance links: Four inputs rocket over one high speed link.
  • Enhance your reliability: A cross point switch enables output options.
• Lower your cost, reduce your system complexity and enhance your reliability with one device: TLK10022

• Remote sensor transmitters usually require low-power operation and a small form factor
• ADS1220 addresses this with low power, low noise in a 3.5x3.5mm2 QFN
• Bridge sensors have low resistance, causing high power losses ADS1220 integrates a load switch to turn off the bridge when not measuring
• This demo showcases how a low-power weigh scale can be implemented with minimal components in a small form factor
• The system can be optimized for either low power, high resolution, or high data rate
