Schneider Electric delivers next-generation, open automation infrastructure in collaboration with Intel and Red Hat
- New Distributed Control Node (DCN) software framework to help drive open automation
- Solution helps replace vendor-specific hardware with plug-and-produce offer
- Interoperability and portability support industrial innovation, reduce obsolescence
, in collaboration with the technology companies Intel and Red Hat, today announced the release of a Distributed Control Node (DCN) software framework.
An extension of
Next generation of industrial control
Aligned with the goals of the
"This project is the culmination of two years of co-innovation to create efficient, future-proof distributed control systems," said
Red Hat, in collaboration with Intel, recently announced the creation of a new industrial edge platform that helps provide a modern approach to building and operating industrial controls. Since implementing this platform,
The framework consists of two main components: an advanced computer platform (ACP), which supervises the control workload by providing the content control and automation capabilities needed to deploy workloads securely and programmatically, along with virtualization and monitoring functionalities; and the DCN, which are low-power, industrial systems using Intel Atom x6400E series processors, dedicated to running controls and designed for workloads of mixed-criticality.
"Open and interconnected commercial solutions will help usher in the transition from fixed function proprietary devices to flexible and dynamic software-based infrastructures," said
"Red Hat is committed to helping manufacturers implement autonomous operations on the shop floor," said
A live demonstration of this solution will be showcased at the 2024
