Application of Apache E8 industrial computer minipicecan card in Construction Robot

Construction robots can work independently to complete heavy or dangerous construction processes , So as to make the construction process safer 、 health 、 Efficient . Wallpaper paving 、 Wall tile paving 、 Putty polishing and other robots are highly coordinated 、 Mutual division of labor , Several robots have been able to work independently like an assembly line .
Take the winch type exterior wall emulsion paint spraying robot as an example , Through autonomous path planning , It can realize the full automation of building exterior wall coating 、 All round spraying . Compared with traditional construction , Fundamentally put an end to the safety risks caused by workers working at heights . future , Construction workers will go from the past “ Migrant workers ” Turn into “ Intelligent construction industry technician ”, Responsible for robot operation 、 maintenance , And the corner construction that robots can't cover ,“ To move the brick ” It will no longer be manual work .

E8 It's Apache based on Real-time Computing 、 Multitasking 、 Low power consumption developed for application requirements such as multi interface information acquisition 、 High performance 、 many I/O、 Fan less compact embedded computer . The whole machine is based on Intel Skylake-U and Celeron Low power platform development , Join in CPU Modular design 、I/O Modular design 、 Mold design 、 Wide pressure sum I/O Protective design , While ensuring the high quality of the equipment , Reduce the volume of the equipment 、 And improve equipment performance and I/O Scalability , To meet industrial 4.0 control 、 robot 、 Intelligent Transportation 、 Machine vision and other fast fieldbus industry requirements .

In robot system minipcieCAN Card applications

Industry application description ：
PCI Express Mini Interface CAN The card can be quickly and conveniently extended for the industrial computer or single board computer in the robot system CAN passageway .
Special , Provide Windows(32/64 position )、Linux(32/64 position )、VXworks、QNX、INTime、Ubuntu Down drive 、 Library function 、 Header file description and examples .

characteristic ：
It's very small , Full card size 30×51×4.6 mm (W×L×H), Half card size is as small as 30×27×5.6 mm (W×L×H);
1/2 High speed with high isolation between signal and power supply CAN Interface ;
Provide Windows(32/64 position )、Linux(32/64 position )、VXworks、QNX、INTime、Ubuntu Down drive 、 Library function 、 Header file description and examples ;
Meet real time RTOS Time accurate and low delay CAN Communication requirements .
Solution ：

Now? , Many robot projects need to go CANbus Communications .PCI Express mini The industrial computer or single board computer with card slot can be expanded quickly 1~2 road CAN The sharp weapon of the passage .
As an open field communication protocol ,CAN Communication is widely used in embedded industrial control and Manufacturing Networks . at present , It is also widely used in the service robot industry CAN Communication does chassis motion control .CAN Communication gradually replaces pulses in motion control 、 Analog quantity 、RS232 Communication control , Become the mainstream control mode of service robot movement , Mainly because of the strong real-time 、 The transmission distance is long 、 Strong anti electromagnetic interference ability 、 Support one to many and broadcast centralized data transmission .
