Windows RealTime Suite for IXXAT CAN interfaces

The Windows real-time extension »RealTime Suite« of the Berlin company Kithara Software enables with its new CAN module the development of automation solutions where a CAN communication in real-time is required. It focuses especially on users who need a time-critical handling of CAN messages, for instance machine builders and computer control companies.

In this areas a safe and timely equidistant data exchange is usually needed as well as a fast reaction on external events. Here, the standard Windows drivers delivered with CAN boards fail, because they are only usable from within the application context.

The CAN Module for the “RealTime Suite” now closes this gap by supporting CAN communication in real-time. The real-time driver is as the moment available for the IXXAT PC-I 04/PCI CAN interface board. A support of further IXXAT interfaces is already in preparation. At this, drivers for many popular CAN board families from different well-known vendors are available, e.g. for the IXXAT CAN interfaces. For programming the languages C/C++ or Delphi can be used. Even the .NET environment using e.g. C# is supported, as long as a DLL, programmed in native C++, is embedded into C#.
