The realtime communication platform GOAL, developed by PORT, offers scalable multi-protocol solutions such as PROFINET, EthernetIP, EtherCAT, CANopen, PROFIBUS and ModbusTCP.
Extensions like DLR (device-level-ring) are also available, depending on the type of processor.
EMTRION will integrate GOAL into its products and offer it optionally.
Ramona Maurer (CEO, EMTRION): „In cooperation with PORT, we are taking a major step towards IoT and Industry 4.0 applications. As GOAL royalties can be supplied optionally for every embedded hardware, the entry barriers for our medium-sized customers are very small.
Particularly interesting are the protocols available on an embedded module, such as PROFINET, EthernetIP, EtherCAT, MODBUS TCP and CANopen."
Dietmar Franke (CEO, PORT): „With GOAL, we offer a cost-effective entry into the world of real time communication technology. So far, high investments and complex third party management was necessary to integrate the main market-leading real-time logs into customer devices. In conjunction with GOAL, EMTRION can now offer a scalable solution. One piece of hardware – many real-time communication solutions.“
EMTRION and PORT continue providing a very helpful tool chain (design tools) for simple and efficient configuration of fieldbus systems.
3 different SBCs (single board computers), based on processors (oder controllers?) from ATMEL (SAM), RENESAS RZG and RENESAS RZN1D, will be launched together with GOAL by the end of the year.
