Special Announcement from Sys Tec on their new IOT Chip Set - No Gateway required
Ethernet Powerlink Embedded SOMs and PLCs Company High Lite This Month
Sys Tec of Germnay
The Sys Tec Products
Sys Tec started its industrial focus with all things CanBus and expanded and included OpenCan.
Sys Tec realised that Development Kits were the quickest and easiest way for clients to get into this technology. They have a vast array of development kits, downloads for software to make the experience efficient and permanent.
Hand in Hand with the kits came SOMs, Systems on Modules and many embedded boards and software aids.
To allow a full experience with no comms difficulties, Sys Tec introduced many types of Comms Gateways for connecting to their development and embedded products.
When the Ethernet PowerLink Hardware and Software spec was released, SysTec was an instant player, having all the technology to translate PowerLink into real devices.
They have a broad set of Development kits using many OSs, CPUs and VHDL FPGAs.
Modules by Architecture
Freescale QorIQ LS1
Freescale ARM11
Freescale Coldfire
Atmel ARM9
Intel x86 ATOM
Infineon Tricore
Altera FPGA
Infineon C16x
Fujitsu MB90The natural extension of all this technology was IOT and Sys Tec were one of the first to offer meaningful Kits to develop IOT embedded systems.
Their latest development is the SOM IoT Chip.
The Sys Tec IoT Chip is easy to integrate for use in the Internet of Things applications and also the connecting of devices/machines to the cloud.
Like all Sys Tec devices, the IoT Chip is designed for the direct connection to the Cloud.
The benefits of the SYS TEC electronic IoT Chip lies in its design, ease of use, security and cloud connection. On the chip are libraries and protocols such as MQTT, Modbus or CANopen which are ready to use immediately.
The templates supplied in the source code are available to users as a starting point for their own customisation. I²C and SPI make it possible to directly connect actuators and sensors.
This allows the entire measurement, control and regulation to be
handled on the IoT chip ( Itis like a small PAC or PLC. As a result, the chip works independently of the cloud.There is also no additional gateway required for cloud connection.
Sys Tec's IoT Chip delivers M2M communication at the highest level, as well as being efficient and available at a moderate cost.
Sys Tec is partnered with IBM for IOT Read more

Four Short PDF Books
How to program more effectively in LabVIEWThese books introduce a more thorough development of LCOP - LabVIEW Component Object Programming methods.
This method makes extensive use of Front Panel TABs, Constant Clusters as Type Defs and Enums as Type Def Verbs.
It has A built in Cluster Editor that runs either in the Program or is an active Editor external that allows remote adjustment of programs configuration files.
Using LCOP methods will simplify and establish design development plus stabilise your programs. It even make installs and maintenance easier.
Updating and expanding programs then follows a standard pattern already in the program design.
This method delineates Public and Private data clearly.
This is critical for Component Design and for low coupling and best Cohension.
Book 1 "Hidden Data", that is, cleaning up LV Program's by Removing Constants from Diagrams and putting them in Configuration Files for Loading at runtime.
This method does not use ini files but a far more robust LabVIEW centric method, not seen in other literature. It also cleans up Diagrams and Self Documents.
Book 2 "Abstraction", that is, removing complexity in the top layer of a LabVIEW diagram by building Abstracted Message Driven LV Components.
This shows how to build Message driven (Test Verbs) Abstracted named (noun) State Engine Components that are safe & robust. It also leads to better cohension of course and no/low coupling.
Book 3 "Real Time Cluster Constants Editor", that is, Removed Diagram Constants that are loaded at Run Time from a config file, can now be edited, in situ, inside the Program /or its Component while it runs, allowing tuning of programs in Real Time.
Changes made to the Constants by the editor can also be saved back into their original configuration files at run time. This addition of the Real Time Editor removes the need to exit a component or program to edit constants.
Book 4 "Low Frequency Real Time Control", is about how to use USB DAQ, DIO and DAC to control an Hydraulic RAM for Testing a UUT.
It is a close look at how to use State Engine for Control.
Simple but useful for anyone wanting to do closed loop control.
It embodies many of the LCOP methods discussed in the other three books.To get your copy, send this email request to the MasTec LabVIEW Develop Laboratory in Northland NZ.
MasTec Training
"LabVIEW for Everyone"MasTec recently under took a 4 day Training course for 15 Academics, (Professors and Grad Students), at one of Oceania's largest universities.
The focus was on getting students to the point where they can undetake projects by the end of the course. A big ask. However, the focus was not on how to use all the bits inside LabVIEW to make software but the development of strategies to allow projects to be undertaken.
The MasTec Instructor has trained all over the globe and has taught over 2000 students.
He will also come to your site and do training with your LabVIEW team, using traditional or these new LabVIEW methods MasTec has developed.
Keep up with MasTec's latest LabVIEW Notes
MasTec ProjectsOver the last year MasTec has completed 6 major projects in sites through out NZ. Several hundred hours of programming work has been completed, as well as many hundreds of hours of commissioning, site management, and installation.
All these projects involved LabVIEW at the core. However, many of these projects also include PACs, PLCs, Process Controllers, with peripherals like Servos, Actuators, VSDs, Water measurement and control, Hydraulic Control and other real world systems.
MasTec has several large projects on its books, spread out over about 3-4 years.
There are gaps in this schedule.
Many sites still run XP and Win 7 for their LABs and Production areas. MasTec is still undertaking new projects in legacy LV 6.1 /7.1/8.2 and 8.6 systems.
Major new projects are still undetaken in LabVIEW 7.1 that run in Windows 7 32 Bit OS, very successfully. LabVIEW 7.1 is still (in our opinion) the best LabVIEW ever released. Fast, efficient and stable. Win 7 32 bit OS will be available for some time. Most large corporations are still running Win 7 due to its excellent stability and IT staffs familiarity and history.
However, other projects using from LabVIEW 2010 up to the present version of 2015 SP1, which is good, but very processor hungry and much slower to develop in. We only recommend I7s CPUs with this software with SSDs for the OS and LV.
Announcement >>> Opportunity
The MD of MasTec has recently decided it is time to realign his life after 50 years of technology, to go horse riding with his wife and dogs Polly, Lilly and newly arrived Freddie.
If you have an interest in owning this important technology company, now is the time to act and start communcation.
