STEINHOFF Automation & Fieldbus-Systems
was founded in 1992 by Armin Steinhoff.
We are working with QNX since 18 years and are specialized in:
Real-Time Software for
QNX 4 RTOS and QNX Neutrino RTOS v.6.x
Linux (e.g. RTAI) added in 2001, other RTOS' only for specific projects
-
Real-Time-Linux with preemptive patch
Fieldbus Technologies
-
PROFIBUS, CAN/CANopen, PROFINET, ETHERNET PowerLink, EtherCAT, Modbus, INTERBUS, LonTalk, ASi, ...
Technology Transfer for OEMs
IEC 61131-3 Systems
IEC 61499 Systems
GUI
System Integration for distributed and embedded PC-based OPEN CONTROL SYSTEMS.
-
Consulting, Custom Engineering
Standard and OEM products for Industrial Automation and Embedded Systems
Product Suite DACHS® , Fieldbus Packages including:
Starter Kits
Drivers (resource managers), Target-Systems
C-APIs, C-Talk, Python, and PVM APIs, Function-Block Libraries for DACHSview
Configuration Tools (CMDs)
-
OPC
Visual Programming
Fieldbus technologies for Open Control Architecture together with Real-Time Systems, C-, Python or visual Programming (IEC 61131-3 or IEC 61499 based), HMI, and industrial hard- and software standards meet the requirements of industrial and embedded automation from today and tomorrow. This open system is cost-effective because of the minimization of costs of ownership, and DACHSview programming minimizes your development time.
Advantages of DACHS
® components are high speed and shortest
cycle times less than 1 ms which allow the realization of applications with hard realtime requirements.
Our product suite DACHS
® supports well tested Fieldbus and I/O boards and comes with
a single unified data interface for all user level applications:
the
Process Image.
