Altera's stand (#270, Hall 3) will feature a variety of solutions enabled by Altera® Cyclone® V and MAX® 10 devices.


    --  Programmable logic controller (PLC) for Internet of Things (IoT) and
        Industry 4.0--Single-chip high-end PLCs enabled with secure enterprise
        cloud connectivity over OPC-UA with an Altera Cyclone V SoC. This demo
        features a full touch-screen human machine interface (HMI) and
        OPC-UA-based PLC reference design by Altera partner Exor International,
        and SoC security IP from Altera partner Barco Silex.
    --  Motion-control acceleration--A high-performance precision pick-and-place
        robotics system, enabled by motion control acceleration with an Altera
        Cyclone V SoC.
    --  Smallest form-factor FPGA drive-on-chip--A single-chip,
        high-performance, low-cost motor drive in an integrated, space-saving
        package using Altera's new MAX(®) 10 FPGAs, the only FPGAs with
        dual-configuration, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), digital signal
        processing (DSP) and instant-on capabilities.
    --  Functional Safety--Industry's most comprehensive FPGA-based functional
        safety offering consisting of safety board and reference designs from
        Altera partner NewTec in conjunction with Altera's TUV-qualified
        functional safety data packages for IEC 61508.
    --  High-productivity design flows for SoC--From C/C++ or Simulink models
        and using model-based and software-based tool flows from Altera and
        MathWorks, this demo shows how one can directly partition designs across
        embedded ARM Cortex-A9 processors and FPGA fabric in Altera SoC devices.
    --  Machine Vision--High-performance machine vision applications in an
        Altera Cyclone V SoC, demonstrated by EBV Electronik with IP from
        DreamChip.
    --  Industrial Ethernet--Multiple industrial Ethernet protocols implemented
        in a single flexible Altera FPGA, leveraging IP developed by Altera
        partner Softing.
    --  High-availability redundant Ethernet--Demonstration of a scalable,
        triple-speed Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch with seamless redundancy in
        an Altera FPGA, with high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) and
        parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) IP developed by Altera partner
        Flexibilis.
