Xilinx Demonstrations – Booth #6-111

● Smart Compact Vision System

This demonstration compares two high speed Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems
performing real-time silicon device code recognition utilizing the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC
and the HALCON machine vision software from MVTec. The hardware acceleration system
processes the video stream at 60fps while the software-only implementation runs at a slower rate.
The acceleration of hardware was implemented using VisualApplets from Silicon Software that
reduces development time and design complexity.
● High Bandwidth Machine Vision
This demonstration showcases two video streams transferred with different high-speed protocols
for machine vision cameras and frame grabbers that are enabled by the Xilinx® 7 Series FPGA and
SoC devices. Sensor to Image supports GigEVision 2.0 and CoaXPress IPs and software stacks that
enables video transfer rates over 10Gb per second.
● Motor Control Design Methodology
This demonstration unveils a motor control design flow that supports design and simulation of
high-level models within The Mathworks MATLAB® environment. The HDL Coder and Embedded
Coder tools automatically generate C/HDL code for the Zynq All Programmable SoCs which
shorten design cycles and accelerate time to market.
● EtherCAT Fast Drive
This demonstration showcases an integrated drive system with multi-axis motor control and
EtherCAT networking. A single chip Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC solution implemented by
QDesys delivers high performance, low torque ripple motor drive with less than 62.5 microsecond
cycle time.
● Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
This demonstration highlights the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC configured as an embedded
PLC that manages devices through Ethernet Powerlink. The embedded runtime software is
provided by KWSoftware and is programmed using the IEC61131-3 compliant language.
● Safe System
This demonstration showcases a highly dependable system with PROFINET IRT on the Zynq-7000
All Programmable SoC for high performance automation applications. While the ARM® Cortex™-
A9 executes the communication stack, two microprocessor soft cores run in lock-step mode to
provide on-chip redundancy in a functional safety system.
