EVOC Becomes World´s First Embedded Gold Partner of Microsoft

In the intelligent era when Cloud Computing is advocated, embedded device has been considered as a strategic advantage for many enterprises. When embedded device is incorporated into enterprise operation, it will have direct impact on enterprise efficiency or profitability. From a user experience point of view, increasing number of embedded devices are highlighting their direct operation and interaction features, which not only indicates the needs of enterprise users for efficiency, but also reflects the competition among product solution suppliers. Finding a way to help corporate users correctly operate devices through a simple learning process and make the best use of hardware devices has become one of the important issues for the leading manufacturers in the embedded field who want to further improve their total solutions.

November 2, 2011, Liu Zhiyong, the General Manager of EVOC Intelligent, Sun Yu, the Marketing Director of EVOC Intelligent, Pascal Martin, Microsoft Worldwide General Manager of OEM Embedded Sales, and Mauro Favero, Microsoft Asia Pacific General Manager attended the EVOC-Microsoft Gold Partner Plaque Awarding Ceremony and signed up the Gold Partner Framework in a pleasant atmosphere. Regarding the upgraded partnership between EVOC and Microsoft, Liu Zhiyong, the General Manager of EVOC Intelligent, said "Upgrading of our strategic partnership will further enhance our service capability of providing total solutions, and sharpen our competitive advantages of embedded system. In the future, the EVOC embedded product users who need to develop programs on the Microsoft embedded operating platform will get a better grasp of the development process, and how to create, tailor and customize the embedded system."

Pascal Martin, Microsoft Worldwide General Manager of OEM Embedded Sales, said: "Congratulations to EVOC for becoming a worldwide gold partner of Microsoft. We hope to drive the evolution from embedded system to intelligent system by cooperating with EVOC, a market leader of embedded industry in China. We believe that the intelligent system is going to start a new era of business intelligence, turning data into cash for enterprises".

EVOC has become the first gold partner of Microsoft for embedded applications, partly due to the long-standing mutual trust and partly due to the fact that EVOC runs the first EIP (embedded intelligent platform) engineering center in China. The center consists of 6 subdivisions, including CISC platform research office, RISC platform research office, embedded software research office and EIP applications research office. Unlike individual purchasers, corporate buyers lay more emphasis on system integration in their sourcing of equipment. One-stop providers are able to help trim spending and save personnel costs. Therefore, for suppliers, making concerted efforts with partners is an optimal pattern to do business and share success. The gold partnership between EVOC and Microsoft not only further boosts the relations between the two sides, but facilitates concerted efforts of the two sides on R&D, sales and service. 

About embedded system

An embedded system refers to an embedded computer and its application system. It is a computing system embedded inside various devices and application products. Small in size and compact in structure, it is embedded into the device to be controlled for the purpose of signal control. It provides user interfaces, manages information input and output and monitors the operation of device, making the device more intelligent and more cost-effective. An embedded system comprises hardware and software. The hardware is embedded inside the device, in the form of chips, modules, components and controllers. Solidified in ROM or flash memory, the software includes Real Time multi-tasking Operation System and various special software. Both hardware and software can be tailored to meet strict requirements for functionality, size, cost, reliability and power consumption.

EVOC Launches First New-generation High-speed Serial Bus VPX Products in Asia

September 21, at the Technical Seminar Area of the Sixth World Radar Fair, EVOC launched new-generation high-speed serial bus VPX products, and became the first manufacturer in Asia to possess the R&D and batch production capability and receive orders for this product series.

Liu Xin and Liu Hui, leaders from China Computer Industry Association, and Sun Bolin, an industry expert, gave speeches on the occasion where EVOC launched the new VPX series. Mr. David Xiao, General Manager of Marketing and Sales of EVOC Intelligent said: "Embedded and industrial computers are in the vanguard of China' s computing R&D. In recent years, the government has been pushing for integration of information technology into industrial applications and transferring military R&D to civil and commercial use. This helps EVOC redouble R&D efforts to develop high-speed serial bus VPX technology. It is incumbent on us to develop such products, and it also makes commercial sense to do so. Our 2-year strenuous efforts culminated in this new series."

Introducing VPX into IPC R&D is a recent development, to which only a few IPC developers have been devoted. The 2-year R&D stage involved countless R&D of market research, expert panel meetings and product tests. The entire process was full of setbacks and challenges. In the end of 2010, EVOC successfully completed R&D on VPX series. This was truly a remarkable success.
Currently, VPX products target high-end control systems mainly used in military applications, aviation and aerospace. With the capability to meet the high standards and requirements of radar, sonar, video graphics processing and intelligent signal processing, VPX products can serve in land-based, vehicle-mounted, airborne and vessel-mounted command systems. However, VPX products, which are well known as new-generation bus product for military-purpose rugged systems, are not confined to military uses. With outstanding features like powerful computing capability, high-speed and wide bandwidth transmission, capability to withstand extreme harsh environments, VPX products are bound to generate far-reaching repercussion for embedded and industrial control field. In future, embedded and industrial computers and solutions based on VPX bus technology will be used in more and more industries, further boosting the performance of embedded and industrial computer systems. It can be predicted that the advanced VPX technology will gradually become the mainstream serial bus standards on the market and lead the development trend of embedded and industrial computing technology by triggering a new wave of development and reforms.

Auto-control Solution for Smelter's Sulfuric Acid Plant

System Introduction

The smelter's sulfuric acid plant is an essential part of nonferrous metal smelting process. However, sulfuric acid is highly corrosive, threatening the safety of both the workers’ health and the equipment, and the quality and efficiency in sulfuric acid production still have room for improvement. With this in mind, the automatic production of sulfuric acid plant has become a priority for equipment upgrading and the safety in production.

System Requirements

Operate safely and reliably, easy to maneuver.
Accurately measure the data of each point in the plant, like temperature, flux, etc.
Control all the equipment of the production line such as motors, valves, etc.
Directly display various data of the production line.

Block Diagram
System Principle
As there are lots of data acquisition points in the plant, the system adopts star topology. One EVOC Core2 Duo platform computer serves as the host computer and two Pentium4 computers as data acquisition computers. They are connected through network hub. Each data acquisition computer is equipped with built-in PCL-813 analog data acquisition card and PCL-7241 digital I/O card for onsite data acquisition and control.
The thermocouple and RTD signals coming from the production line are transmitted into PCL-813 through PCLD-789D and PCLD-16RTD. The signals such as flux and liquid level are transmitted into PCL-813 through PCLD-880. The field data is analyzed by the system and output to control field equipment such as motors, valves, etc.
