01Overview
Industrial automation needs machines that agree on when: a fieldbus cycle that holds its deadline, control that coexists with Linux user space, and diagnostics that disturb neither. Spikedge brings EtherCAT lines up on TI SoCs and characterises their timing, configures PREEMPT_RT kernels and designs the split between real-time control and the rest of the system. We do not sell an EtherCAT master product.
02Engineering Challenges
- 01EtherCAT / PROFINET real-time cycle with <10µs jitter
- 02Coexistence of hard real-time control with Linux user space
- 03Functional safety (SIL 2/3) architecture partitioning
- 04Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance data pipelines
