Application Story
Providing higher computing and 2D/3D display capacity by integrating an X86 platform into CNC machine becomes the major interesting of automation applications in the world. With X86 platform, it provides an easier way for user to connect CNC machines together as a network for linking to cloud, and increases the overall value and efficiency of CNC operation by moving their application from single operation to cloud computing operation.
Solution
This project required three major technologies: real-time operation, servo motor control/connectivity, and data collection for cloud management. For this, Advantech provided the SRP-E2i140, a solution-ready package which uses Intel® Celeron® J1900 and Atom™ E3825/E3845 processer with automation I/O including Ethernet and CANbus, builds a real-time environment with different industrial Fieldbus and peripheral drivers under Windows 7/10, and provides WISE-PaaS/EnSaaS, an industrial cloud service driving efficiency.
