Smart Software Solutions and Texas Instruments announced that the CoDeSys Safety solution is available for the TI Hercules safety microcontroller platform. CoDeSys is used for various types of applications in several industrial sectors: by machine builders, in mobile machines, in the energy and process industries, in shipbuilding and in the aircraft industry.
CoDeSys Safety SIL2 includes an IEC 61508 SIL2 runtime system with certified basic functions, a validated compiler and code generator plus a safety programming manual. It can be used with the Hercules dual-core lockstep safety microcontrollers to support ISO 13849 PLd Cat.2/3 requirements.
The included certified Safety Runtime System has been developed and optimised to meet the necessary safety requirements of applications like mobile machines and utility vehicles like cranes and elevating platforms.
The Hercules safety microcontroller platform enables customers to easily build safety-critical applications. Offered with multiple Flash and RAM configurations, the ARM Cortex-R4F core offers up to 220 MHz of floating-point performance at up to 350 DMIPS.
The dual-core lockstep CPUs, CPU and memory BIST, Flash and SRAM ECC and peripheral RAM parity checking provide the high level of diagnostic coverage required in safety critical systems and minimise the need for complex safety diagnostic software.
A wide choice of communication peripherals includes CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet and USB, in combination with two powerful timing coprocessor modules (NHET) and dual 12-bit ADCs, making the Hercules platform suitable for safety-critical control systems up to IEC 61508 SIL-3.
