Altera will demonstrate industrial solutions based on its FPGAs and SoCs at the SPS IPC Drives conference in Nuremberg, Germany, from 25th to 27th November, showing how industrial systems designers can use the devices to reduce cost and time-to-market for factory automation system designs. Altera’s stand (Hall 3, Stand 270) will feature a variety of solutions enabled by Altera Cyclone V and MAX 10 devices.

Products on display will include:

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for IoT - Single-chip high-end PLCs enabled with secure enterprise cloud connectivity over OPC-UA with an Altera Cyclone V SoC. This demo features a full touch-screen HMI and OPC-UA-based PLC reference design by Altera partner Exor International, and SoC security IP from Altera partner Barco Silex.

Motion-control acceleration - A high-performance precision pick-and-place robotics system, enabled by motion control acceleration with an Altera Cyclone V SoC.

Smallest form-factor FPGA drive-on-chip - A single-chip, high-performance, low-cost motor drive in an integrated, space-saving package using Altera’s MAX 10 FPGAs, the only FPGAs with dual-configuration, analogue-to-digital convertor, digital signal processing and instant-on capabilities.

Functional Safety - According to Altera, the industry’s most comprehensive FPGA-based functional safety offering, consisting of safety board and reference designs from Altera partner NewTec in conjunction with Altera’s TÜV-qualified functional safety data packages for IEC 61508.

High-productivity design flows for SoC - From C/C++ or Simulink models and using model-based and software-based tool flows from Altera and MathWorks, this demo shows how to directly partition designs across embedded ARM Cortex-A9 processors and FPGA fabric in Altera SoC devices.

Machine Vision - High-performance machine vision applications in an Altera Cyclone V SoC, demonstrated by EBV Electronik with IP from DreamChip.

Industrial Ethernet - Multiple industrial Ethernet protocols implemented in a single flexible Altera FPGA, leveraging IP developed by Altera partner Softing.

High-availability redundant Ethernet - Demonstration of a scalable, triple-speed Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch with seamless redundancy in an Altera FPGA, with high-availability seamless redundancy and parallel redundancy protocol IP developed by Altera partner Flexibilis.
