The AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors integrate the Programmable Real-time Unit (PRU) that has been architected to implement the real-time communication technologies used in a broad range of industrial automation equipment. It enables low foot print designs with minimal external components and with best in class low power performance. The AM3359 ARM MPU based ICE enables customers to easily incorporate industrial communication standards such as EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, POWERLINK, SERCOS-III, CANOpen, and more in their industrial automation products. The ICE includes the hardware and software resources required for physical and data link layer implementations for several industrial communications standards and allows customers to focus on application level aspects of their systems. To further simplify the developmental activities, the ICE also includes copies of software frameworks such as the SYS/BIOS real-time kernel, application stacks for industrial communication standards, and sample applications that enable compelling demonstrations of the capabilities of the ICE. Complete software tool chain is included to jump start software development efforts and worldwide technical support is available to help with any future needs. Target Applications The ICE hardware and included software is designed to help integrate the industrial communications interfaces in a broad range of industrial systems. Some of these are listed below. Industrial communication modules Industrial communication interfaces for sensors and input/output (I/O) systems Industrial communication gateways Industrial drives with integrated communications Motor feedback systems Block Diagram A high level block diagram of the Industrial Communications Engine is shown to the right provides an overview connectivity options available on the ICE.
