System description ADwin

2 System description
2.1 ADwin system concept
ADwin systems guarantee fast and accurate operation of measurement data acquisi-
tionand automationtasksunderreal-time conditions.Thisoffersanideal basisforappli-
cations such as:
– very fast digital closed-loop control systems
– very fast open-loop control systems
– data acquisition with very fast online analysis of the measurement data
– monitoring of complex trigger conditions and many more
ADwin systems are optimized for processes which need very short process cycle
times of milliseconds down to less than one microsecond.
System features The ADwin system is equipped with analog and digital inputs and outputs, a fast pro-
cessor (32-bit floating point signal processor) and local memory. The processor is
responsibleforthewhole real-timeprocessingin thesystem.The applicationsrun inde-
pendent of the PC and its workload.
Processor The processor of the ADwin system processes each measurement value at once.
In one cycle you can acquire the status of the inputs, process the status with the help
of any mathematical functions, and react to the results, even at very fast process cycle
times of some microseconds. This results in a perfect and logical work sharing: The PC
executes a program for visualizing of data, for input and operation of the processes,
togeher with access to networks and data bases, while the processor of the ADwin sys-
tem executes all tasks which require real-time processing concurrently.
Real-time operating system The operating system for the DSP of the ADwin system has been optimized to achieve
the fastest response times possible. It manages parallel processes in a multitasking
environment. Low priority processes are managed by time slicing. Specified high prior-
ity processes interrupt all low priority processes and are immediately and completely
executed (preemptive multitasking). High priority processes are executed as time-con-
trolled or event-controlled processes (external trigger).
Timing The built-in timer is responsible for the precise scheduling of high priority processes. It
has a resolution of 3.3 nanoseconds. The ADwin systems are characterized by an
extremely short response time of only 100 nanoseconds during the change from a low
to a high priority process. A continously running communication process enables a con-
tinous data exchange between the ADwin system and the PC even while applications
are active. The communication has no influence on the real-time capability of the
ADwin system, even so, it is possible to exchange data at any time.
ADbasic The real-time development tool ADbasic gives the opportunity to create time-critical
programs for ADwin systems very easily and quickly. ADbasic is an integrated devel-
opment environment under Windows with possibilities of online debugging. The famil-
iar,easy-to-learn BASICinstruction syntax hasbeen extendedbymany morefunctions,
in order to allow direct access to inputs and outputs as well as by functions for process
control and communication with the PC.

ADwin system concept
ADwin
Communication between ADwin system and PC
InterfacesThe ADwin system is connected to the PC via an Ethernet interface. After power-up
the ADwin system is booted from the PC via this interface. Afterwards the ADwin oper-
ating system is waiting for instructions from the PC which it will process.
Instruction processingThere are two kinds of instructions: On the one hand instructions, which transfer data
from the PC to the ADwin system, for instance "start process" or "set parameter", on
the other hand instructions which wait for a response from the ADwin system, for
instance "read variables" or "read data sets". Both kinds of instructions are processed
immediately by the ADwin system, which means immediate and complete responses.
The ADwin system never sends data to the PC without request! The data transfer to
the PC is always a response to an instruction coming from the PC. Thus, embedding
the ADwin system into various programming languages and standard software pack-
ages for measurements is held simple, because they have only to be able to call func-
tions and process the return value.
Software interfacesUnder Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP/Vista you can use a DLL and an ActiveX inter-
face. On this basis the following drivers for development environments are available:
.NET, Visual Basic, Visual-C, C/C++, Delphi, VBA (Excel, Access, Word), TestPoint,
LabVIEW / LabWINDOWS, Agilent VEE (HP-VEE), InTouch, DIAdem, DASYLab,
SciLab, MATLAB.
Versions for Linux, Mac OS and Java are available, too.
The simple, instruction-oriented communication with the ADwin system enables sev-
eral Windows programs to access the same ADwin system in coordination at the same
time. This is of course a great advantage when programs are being developed and
installed.

2.2 The ADwin-Gold II System
Processor and memory The ADwin-Gold II system is equipped with the digital 32 bit signal processor T11 (DSP
TS101S TigerSharc) from Analog Devices with floating point and integer processing. It
is responsible for the complete measurement data acquisition, online processing, and
signal output, and makes it possible to process instantaneously sample rates of up to
several 100 Kilohertz.
The on-chip memory with 3 ×256KiB has a very short access time and is large enough
to hold the complete ADwin operating system, the ADbasic processes and all variables.
In order to get maximum access times, all inputs and outputs are memory-mapped in
the external memory section of the DSP. For buffering larger quantities of data the DSP
uses an external memory of 256 MiB (DRAM).
Add-on processor TiCo ADwin-Gold II provides an independent, freely programmable add-on processor, the
TiCo processor (Timing Controller). The TiCo processor can access all inputs and out-
puts and therefore perform special tasks as conversion, communication protocol (SPI),
signal generator, loop control etc. According to the task the TiCo processor canhelpthe
processor T11 by pre-processing data, or it may perform an independent task.
The TiCo processor is optimized for fast response time and exact timing. The processor
works with 50MHz clock speed, a memory of von 28KiB in PM and DM and it processes
integer values of 32 bit length only (data type LONG).
Programming of the TiCo processors with TiCoBasic and other details are described in
the manual TiCoBasic.
2 processors in parallel TiCo processor and T11 use a separatebus each to access all inputs, outputs and inter-
faces and thus can work independently from each other. The Block diagram ADwin-
Gold II shows the available inputs and outputs. As an example, the T11 can output val-
ues to the DAC while the TiCo processor controls the counter inputs.
A simultaneous access of TiCo processor and T11 to the same peripherals is not pos-
sible.
In the following cases several inputs/outputs share a single connection to each the T11
bus and the TiCo bus:
– DAC outputs OUT1…OUT8
– CAN1, CAN2, COM1, COM2
