Is there support for the AC-1000 target real-time system?

[C-Holmes]

Hi,

Is NI supporting the AC-1000 target real-time system? We've used MatrixX, SysBld, Autocode, and Realsim to compile, link, download, and run various control models on the target real-time system for interfacing with hardware. The AC-1000 has 2-3 processors running a pSOS Operating System, multiple I/O boards, and a MIL-STD-1553 bus. It's connected to an NT workstation via a LAN and a serial cable.

So, any information regarding support and maintenance would be very helpful. Thank you for your time!

Take care,

Although NI acquired MATRIXx, we did not acquire the RealSim hardware (AC-1000, AC-104, and PCI-Pro). Wind River retains the ownership of the hardware but is not supporting the product line. Wind River has made available the attached parts list for the RealSim hardware so that customers can self-service existing systems.

NI doesn't plan to develop or support RealSim - and is directing customers who wish to continue to use this software/hardware to 3rd parties. The following NI Alliance members can provide RealSim support.

iControl: www.icontrol-inc.com
ADI: www.adi.com
OPAL-RT: www.opal-rt.com

NI plans to make it easy for customers to target NI hardware, including real-time PXI, with MATRIXx in the future. For information on P
XI, please refer to the PXI section of the ni.com site at ni.com/pxi.

The list of Alliance Members that can provide RealSim support and the parts list for RealSim hardware are now also available in a KnowledgeBase. The KnowledgeBase will be updated as new Alliance Members are added.
