RTOS
(VX Works) Based Control And Safety Monitoring
System For Nuclear Power Plants |
In
this project we're trying to develop a control and safety monitoring system for
a Nuclear Power Plant using RTOS. For that purpose we're using the simulator version
of VxWorks-Tornado Prototyper which is included with VxSim. VxSim is a port of
VxWorks to the various host architectures. It provides a simulated target for
use as a prototyping and test-bed environment. In most regards, its capabilities
are identical to a true VxWorks system running on target hardware. Users can link
in applications and rebuild the VxWorks image exactly as they do in any VxWorks
crossdevelopment using a standard BSP.The
difference between VxSim and the VxWorks target environment is that in VxSim the
image is executed on the host machine itself as a host process. There is no emulation
of instructions, because the code is for the host's own architecture. A communication
mechanism is provided to allow VxSim to obtain an IP address and communicate with
the Tornado tools on the host (or with other nodes on the network) using the VxWorks
networking tools. <<back |
