Xilinx and Ecosystem Demonstrations - Hall 4-169



    --  High Performance Silicon Carbide Multilevel Inverter - Presented by
        QDESYS This demonstration showcases a Zynq®-7010 All Programmable SoC
        based three level TNPC implementation with low THD (distortion), high
        ratio power/volume, three level modulation with very low EMI, low
        switching loss, and ultra-fast control loops.

    --  EtherCAT(®) Fast Drive - Presented by QDESYS This demonstration
        presents a high performance EtherCAT electric drive with an embedded
        EtherCAT slave controller IP core from Beckhoff GmbH. It provides a
        system response time of 62.5 microns and fast control loops for energy
        efficient motor control.
    --  Embedded Computer Vision for Intelligent Stations - Presented by Silicon
        Software This demonstration showcases high image processing speed and
        safe recognition of inspected objects by combining the programmable
        logic in the Zynq All Programmable SoC with Visual Applets from Silicon
        Software.

    --  Anybus on Zynq All Programmable SoC- Presented by HMS This demonstration
        displays how HMS selected the Zynq All Programmable SoC for products
        that integrate Industrial Ethernet. By utilizing Anybus at the base, a
        comprehensive platform that leverages the capabilities of All
        Programmable SoCs is demonstrated through the Econ 100 as the first Zynq
        SoC-based product by IXXAT.

    --  Maximum Bandwidth Over Industrial Networks - Presented by ZHAW This
        demonstration showcases how a hardware accelerated Profinet
        implementation in an FPGA allows the utilization of the full bandwidth
        of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) without compromising real-time control
        loop capabilities.

    --  High Availability Cyber-Physical System - Presented by SoC-e This
        demonstration displays zero loss switchover between networks and
        synchronization between two Netboxes with embedded Bluetooth
        connectivity for monitoring and maintenance.  Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs with
        IP core solutions from SoC-e provide low latency at low resource
        consumption with solutions for HSR (High Availability Seamless Ring),
        PRP (Parallel Redundancy Ring), and IEEE1588-2008.

    --  IEC 61508 Functional Safety Solution - Presented by Xilinx This
        demonstration highlights a safety-oriented motor control system that is
        based on two Xilinx processors running in dual-core lock-stepping mode
        at the core of the IDF/IVT Xilinx demonstrator.  The design transforms a
        single core industrial grade application into a dual-core lockstep
        system that ensures high reliability and dependability for functional
        safety systems.
