Real-time control systems

Function

Automatic real-time control of scientific instruments and/or operational units, data processing, storage and transfer.

Description

This PC104-based device is a robust real-time control system of high reliability and readiness with possibility of embedding. QNX operational system allows using sophisticated software, multitasking, TCP/IP protocols and modern friendly user interface. The instrument is equipped with a set of standard interfaces and can be augmented with non-standard protocols. Currently under development are versions of the instrument for the MVN astrophysical experiment aboard the International Space Station and for the automated landing or docking control system.
