RTI enables the development of high-performance distributed control and data acquisition applications over standard IP networks. From factory automation to medical equipment, RTI technology and expertise have been applied to the real-time infrastructure of many control applications.
RTI's software is fully standards-compliant, including to the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS). DDS is the leading standard for developing and integrating distributed real-time applications.
Varian is using RTI to connect sensors, user display systems and control computers within its NMR and MRI instruments.
RTI and Schneider Electric have partnered to provide the RTPS on-the-wire protocol specification to the automation industry as an open, standard control protocol. Schneider deploys RTI Data Distribution Service as its Global Data solution in its high-end Quantum and Premium PLCs.
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) is building a new control system for its Tokamak nuclear fusion device, known as the ASDEX Upgrade. IPP needed real-time, one-to-many data distribution across multiple platforms, dynamic system reconfiguration, low latency, and impeccable reliability; read how RTI Data Distribution Service delivers on all these requirements.
Nikon has a new generation of Semiconductor fabrication devices. During their redesign effort, Nikon developers focused on these critical issues: reliability, modularity and reconfigurability. They needed an extensible infrastructure that could be used on multiple models of fabrication devices. These new devices use RTI Data Distribution Service to send medium data-rate communications (such as trajectories, commands, and state information) between different computers running different operating systems.
"The entire Quest control system is based on the publish-subscribe paradigm. We made that choice based on its flexibility and efficiency. We use RTI throughout, and it has proven to be very reliable. This allowed me to focus my resources on the other aspects of the control system."
