Advanced Operator Interface Panels in ADEPT
ADI’s release of the ADEPT 10.1 Service Pack includes significant advancements to the ADEPT Panels, a tool that provides the ability to create and operate graphical user interfaces that interact with real-time frameworks. The ADEPT Panel toolbox is …
Digital Engineering for Process Manufacturing using ADEPT and MATLAB/Simulink Simscape
Introduction Applied Dynamics International (ADI) recently completed the Digital Twin and Open Automation for Process Manufacturing project. The primary objective of the project was to demonstrate viable proof-of-concept Digital Twin and Open Aut…
Using Modbus TCP with ADEPT
ADI’s ADEPT Framework now supports Modbus TCP for use in Real-Time Linux servers. Modbus TCP is a data communications protocol originally used with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Modbus TCP has become the de facto standard c…
EtherCAT Industrial Devices with ADEPT Real-Time Linux Servers
ADI’s ADEPT Framework now supports Ethernet for Control Automation, EtherCAT, for use in Real-Time Linux servers. EtherCAT is a fieldbus system suitable for both hard and soft real-time computing, making it a great choice for use in ADI’s ADEPT Fram…
Facilitating Efficient, Effective Remote V&V with ADEPT
The ADEPT Framework and its predecessors have been facilitating efficient and effective real-time verification and validation activities at global aerospace, defense, and industrial sites for decades. The benefits and capabilities of ADEPT however a…
Introduction to ADEPT Enterprise Server
The ADEPT Framework is comprised of four main client tools: ADEPT-DE, ADEPT-VI, ADEPT-GD and ADEPT-DB. The ADEPT Enterprise Server (ADEPT-ES) is a utility that enhances cybersecurity, teamwork, and usability across the entire ADEPT environment. ADEP…
Revision Control in the ADEPT Framework using Subversion (SVN)
The ADEPT Framework, ADI’s industrial data and control software platform, is constantly evolving to provide users with enhanced and integrated access to best-in-class, open-source tools in model-based systems engineering and software management. Wit…
ADEPT & Simulink Integration
The ADEPT Framework, ADI’s industrial data and control software platform, has been designed from the ground up for seamless integration with many of the most powerful and advanced applications in model-based systems engineering. There is perhaps no …
Open Process Automation Standard (O-PAS)
In late 2019, the Open Process Automation Standard (O-PAS) Version 1.0 was published by The Open Group to standardize distributed, virtual and real-time computation, for Industrial Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Since then, O-PAS has become …
Improving Collaboration for Cyber-Physical Product Development with FMI/FMU
Improved cyber-physical product development reduces technology integration costs, helps manage technology risk, and reduces cost over the entire software life-cycle. FMI technology can improve efficiency and reduce integration time of collaborative …
Accessing PLC Data with Industrial Real-Time Linux Servers over EtherNet/IP
Accessing Industrial Data Industrial data and control frameworks need to be able to utilize data from both servers and peripheral equipment, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). To do so requires communication between devices, c…
ADEPT Brings Improved Cybersecurity Features
Introduction It is a well-known maxim that security is a process rather than a product (or feature.) In this article we first discuss general process requirements for cybersecurity of industrial Linux deployments with ADEPT, and then we describe …
Server Discovery – Simplifying Industrial Linux Server Configuration Management
Industrial computing and data handling capabilities often need to be flexible, reconfigurable, expandable and extensible to data APIs. Managing the configuration of these dynamic computing systems can involve heavy administrative effort and can be v…
From the Lab to the Skies Using an RF-Link
Introduction One of the greatest benefits of the ADEPT Framework is the easy transition from virtual development and test to physical integration and verification. However, when your physical platform is mobile, such as a UAS, a solution is …
RTOS Versus GPOS: What is Best for Embedded Development?
Do most embedded projects still need an RTOS? It is a good question, given the speed of today’s high-performance processors and the availability of real-time patches for Linux, Windows, and other General Purpose Operating Systems (GPOSs). By Paul N….
