SOMANET by Synapticon is a Modular Embedded Hardware Construction Kit for Distributed Real-Time Control Systems, suitable from Rapid Prototyping up to Serial Production.
Using Synapticon SOMANET distributed real-time control and data acquisition modules, true electronic peripheral nervous systems can be built. Designed to run software developed using Synapticon OBLAC Development Tools or standard XMOS tools, they easily enable creation of individual distributed real-time computing systems in which code can be run locally, wherever it‘s required.
A SOMANET based system is made up of multiple Nodes, each placed directly at the ressource it shall control. For every local application, a custom SOMANET Node can be configured, consisting of three modules: processor, communication and local interface board. For each module type there is a variety of options available, supporting any mechatronical application from simple sensor data acquisition up to sophisticated multi-axis motion control.
SOMANET based systems can be configured and programmed using Synapticon OBLAC Development Tools, individual Nodes can be also programmed using stadard XMOS tools. Each SOMANET Node has an unique ID and automatically looks up the OBLAC Cloud Services for new software to download, save and execute. This way, developers don’t need to worry about installing and maintaining software on multiple Nodes in complex distributed systems and are in full control of the computational infrastructure at any time.
In this XCORE project we share the Altium files you need to create custom SOMANET communication (COM) or local interface (IFM) modules.
