Abstract (EN):
The MatPLC is an international project to develop a
program similar to a PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller) for POSIX operating systems. It is an open
source application consisting of a core, generic
modules, and tools for creating custom modules. Since
many control and monitoring systems are distributed in
nature, they require that the application be running on
an embedded system capable of withstanding harsh
environments.
This paper describes the porting ofthe MatPLC code
base to a commercial embedded system running on a
PowerPC CPU. Time measurements were taken to
determine whether the resulting code would be suitable
for control applications.
