On Time RTOS-32
|
On Time Informatik's embedded operating system is especially optimized for x86 CPUs, meets hard real-time requirements and implements a Windows subset kernel.
It is one of the fastest real-time operating systems on the market running on x86 CPUs. Scheduler performance information can be found here.
On Time RTOS-32 can be fully integrated in Microsoft Visual Studio and supports about 290 Win32 API functions. more...

RTOS32Win: compact Win32 real-time platform
|
Since January 2009 this compact and ultra-fast Windows real-time platform is available.
It is based on the On Time RTOS-32 real-time operating system.
Except when using some real-time specific functions, the well known Win32 API can be used for programming the real-time part.
The Microsoft development tools (Visual Studio) are used for development and debugging the real-time software.
|
|
|
Most important features at a glance
|
 |
Available for Windows XP and Windows 7 |
|
|
Ultra high speed response time within microseconds and full independence from Windows, if Windows crashes, the real-time part continues to work! |
|
|
Optimized utilization of multi core systems (scalable from one to multiple CPU cores for the real-time part) |
|
|
Default use case on dual core systems: Windows XP (Windows 7) runs on Core 1, On Time RTOS-32 runs on Core 2 |
|
|
Drivers and software available for On Time RTOS-32 can be used, e.g. network controller, EtherCAT, CAN, TCP/IP, USB, ... |
|
|
Win32 compatible API (Win32 threads, Events, WinSock API,...) |
|
|
Support of the Microsoft Development Tools (Visual Studio) |
|
|
Very comfortable Debugging environment for the real-time part using the Microsoft tools, real-time applications will be developed and debugged just like a normal Windows application |

RTOS32Win: based on new Hypervisor technology
|
|
|
RTOS-VM Hypervisor: Type 2 Hypervisor using Windows als the Hypervisor Host operating system |
|
|
Same technology for all acontis real-time products: robust and broadly used. The hypervisor is also used in the new KUKA robot control system! |
|
|
high-resolution sub-millisecond timer |
|
|
On Time RTOS-32 may run exclusively on a second CPU core on dual core systems |
|
|
Interrupt latencies below 5 usec can be achieved! |
|
|
Single-Core CPU: On Time RTOS-32 runs in parallel to Windows. |
|
|
Dual-Core CPU: Windows runs on the first Core, On Time RTOS-32 on the second Core. |
|
|
Quad-Core CPU: Windows runs on the first and second Core, On Time RTOS-32 runs on the third and fourth Core (SMP operation mode). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To execute On Time RTOS-32 under AT-RTOS32Win, On Time RTOS-32 components RTTarget-32 and RTVmf-32 are always required. Most applications will also use RTKernel-32 and the TCP/IP stack RTIP-32. Components RTFiles-32 and RTUSB-32 are also supported. |
|
|
On Time Informatik is providing the RTVmf-32 component, the interface for the RTOS-VM Hypervisor. |
|
|
The RTOS Library provides communication services for On Time RTOS-32 and Windows (e.g. Shared Memory Services, Events to exchange messages and synchronized access on data in the Shared Memory). |
|
|
The On Time RTOS-32 binary image, stored on the hard disk, will be started and stopped by the RTOS Uploader Tool. |

Advantages using RTOS32Win
|
|
|
|
Hardware Consolidation
|
|
|
Save a second controller system or intelligent plug-in card |
|
|
Increase the MTBF (mean time between failure) as less hardware components are used |
|
|
More compact controllers can be built |
|
|
|
Software Consolidation
|
|
|
Fast learning curve,, Windows like development environment and Win32 API |
|
|
Programming the real-time application, communication protocols and GUI with one development environment and the same software paradigms |
|
|
Reuse existing On Time RTOS-32 software |
|
|
No Windows Kernel Driver has to be developed |
|
|
|
Typical applications
|
|
|
PC-based Automation (PLC, Motion-Control, Controllers) |
|
|
Realtime measurement and data acquisition |
|
|
Extend an existing RTOS-32 application by adding the Windows XP/7 features on the same PC |
|
|
|
Long term support
|
RTOS32Win is based on the RTOS-VM hypervisor technology.
The RTOS-VM hypervisor is a real-time technology owned by KUKA, a leading Industrial Robot Company (http://www.kuka.com).
The usage of the KUKA real-time technology in more than 100.000 robot controller systems world wide assures long term support.
1996: world's first robot controller using a Windows real-time extension on single core CPUs.
2010: new robot controller based on the RTOS-VM hypervisor technology on multi core CPUs.
