IntervalZero’s MaxRT wRTOS real-time platform streamlines and simplifies the development of complex systems. By extending Microsoft Windows with the wRTOS real-time extension, the wRTOS platform reduces costs, boosts quality and performance, and significantly reduces reliance on proprietary hardware such as DSPs and FPGAs. This topic lists the major wRTOS platform components and the software product packages that provide them.

Description |
|---|---|---|
|
wRTOS Runtime |
The Network Link Layer (NL2) software component provides real-time applications with abstract APIs to access network services at the Layer 2 of the OSI model, independent of the underlying hardware. Using the NL2, you can more easily take advantage of network resources. |
|
|
wRTOS Runtime |
A virtual point-to-point connection between Windows and wRTOS that emulates a local area network connection between Windows and the Real-time Subsystem with no additional hardware required. This virtual network allows Windows and RTSS application on the same system to use sockets to communicate. |
|
|
wRTOS Runtime |
Allows Windows and RTSS applications to use the same physical NIC at the same time. |
|
|
wRTOS Basic Networking |
A protocol stack that provides processing and network capability within the RTSS environment. wRTOS provides an API that conforms to a subset of the functions defined in the Windows Sockets 2.0 (Winsock) specification for Windows. |
|
|
wRTOS GigE Vision |
GigE Vision provides functionality for using GigE Vision Cameras within the real-time wRTOS environment. Using Vision, you can quickly discover cameras on the network, query different camera configurations, and acquire image data. Through a provided communication library images can be passed between RTSS and Windows. Or a third-party vision library, such as OpenCV, can be layered on top of GigE Vision interface to provide additional image processing functionality within RTSS. Note: This component requires the wRTOS Basic Networking package. |

wRTOS Fieldbus |
E-CAT exposes Windows and real-time interfaces that offer support for CANopen over EtherCAT and simplifies configuration of EtherCAT networks with its unique plug-and-play approach. Optional add-on feature packages:
