(openPR) - IXXAT Automation announces the port of its CAN driver software to TenAsys INtime RTOS for Windows.

TenAsys Corporation is a leading provider of real-time OS and virtualization software technology. The INtime software combines deterministic, hard real-time control with standard Windows operating systems without requiring additional hardware. Real-time and non-real-time applications run in separate virtual machines on a single computer, enabling cost-effective, reliable control that is easy to develop and maintain.

The Embedded Communication Interface driver (ECI) will be made available initially for the iPC-I XC16/PCI interface board, an intelligent CAN interface board from IXXAT designed for industrial PC applications. INtime drivers for other IXXAT CAN boards will follow.

“INtime is a natural platform for deterministic control of time-critical applications on a standard PC because it eliminates the need for a separate real-time platform in addition to the Windows-based human interface,” said Karl Judex, IXXAT VP of Sales & Marketing. “Offering INtime drivers for our CAN boards is a logical choice for us.”

“Partnering with IXXAT is a perfect fit for TenAsys,” said Kim Hartman, TenAsys VP of Sales & Marketing, “our expanding customer base in the automotive test and measurement market will benefit greatly from the direct support for CAN by our INtime RTOS for Windows.”
