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 DriveThis 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(TM)-A9
        executes the communication stack, two microprocessor soft cores run in
        lock-step mode to provide on-chip redundancy in a functional safety
        system.
