KW Software: safe runtime system saves resources

SafeOS, the safe IEC 61131 certified runtime system according to IEC 61508 up to SIL3 from KW-Software, is now also available for hardware platforms that provide very little memory space.  Manufacturers of small safety controls and safety switching devices are subject to high cost pressure. Inexpensive hardware, however, often has little memory resources. This restricts the functionality to be realized. SafeOS now supports the special requirements for such devices. With current processors, savings of up to 80% for RAM and up to 30% for ROM are possible. Both channels are processed directly from the flash memory.

SafeOS executes pure machine code on two diverse channels (SIL3). This ensures extremely short response times of the safety function. The high diversity of the compiled application program enables the use of SafeOS even on a single processor. In the latter case, a certification up to SIL2 can be achieved with moderate hardware requirements (e.g. use of an external watchdog). Thanks to the high error recovery of the software, it is possible to reduce appropriate hardware measures. Safety level SIL2 is the correct choice for many safety functions, for example, in the field of transportation.

VIRTUAL CONFERENCES


Software Development & RTOS
This free Virtual Conference has its focus on software and tools for embedded systems development. Amongst others, topics like programming of multicore system,  graphical system design, RTOS and Middleware for ARM Cortex-M, Android security for embedded devices, Ada 2012 and MISRA-C:2012 are covered.

Microcontrollers & Tools
“Low power” and “ARM-based” are still hot topics in the MCU market, as you will see in this free Virtual Conference about Microcontrollers & Development Tools.

Power Management & Efficiency
This Virtual Conference provides technical webinars and video interviews about integrated galvanic isolation for industrial control applications, total power conversion solutions, KNX transceiver for home and building automation, power supplies for embedded applications and more.

Embedded Systems Design
The focus of this Virtual Conference is on software, hardware and tools for modern embedded systems design. Amongst others, the conference programme covers technical presentations about model-based design,  mixed-signal design and verification, ARM-based SoC FPGAs, industrial communications, hardwired TCP/IP chips and modules, multi-board system development.

Machine-to-Machine Communications
Today, there are more internet devices than there are people in the world. Therefore the Internet of Things is one of the hot topics of our Virtual Seminar about Machine-to-Machine communications. Other topics include data protection, Cloud-based embedded computing, M2M with UMTS and HSDPA and more.

Embedded Computing
The use of Open Standards has become one of the drivers of the  embedded computing market.  Our Virtual Conference informs about latest developments with Small Form Factor Boards, CompactPCI, ATCA/MTCA and VME/VPX

Motor Control
Motors are still one of the main consumer of electricity in industry. A lot of energy can be saved by running electrical motors at optimal performance and with optimal energy-efficiency. Our Virtual Conference provides you with technical information about smart motor control concepts, products and technologies.

Real-Time Operating Systems
Multi-core, Safety & Security and Virtualization are major topics of our Real-time Operating Systems Virtual Seminar – a collection of free webinars and technical articles.

ARM-based Embedded Computing
ARM processors increasingly penetrate into areas that were previously dominated by x86 processors. Especially in the market for embedded computing boards and modules lots of new ARM-based products have been announced recently, as you can see in our free virtual conference.

Software Development
This Virtual Seminar provides a couple of webinars in which you can learn how to accelerate your next development project, how to develop highly-reliable, safe and secure software and new ways to make software development safe and easy and more...
