FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
4.2 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The program which handles operation of the Pro-N relays is made up of three fundamental elements
shown in the following block diagram.
Base software
Single modules are application independent with modular and scalable structure.
The system can be assimilated to the PC BIOS (Basic Input-Output System); three main function are
provided:
Start-up test execution;
RAM loading of the operating system;
Provide a suitable interface to access the relay hardware.
Real-time operating system
An embedded operative system is employed suitable for real-time applications (RTOS).
A multithread preemptive structure is able to menage several task with multiple priority levels .
The kernel represents the nucleus of the system: it includes the processing functions closest to the
electronic circuits.
In addition, the kernel manages a service communication protocol known as Basic Protocol (BP).
Task
The task (process e thread) are the base components.
Example are:
Keyboard management
RTC (Real Time Clock) updating
RAM/EEPROM updating
Diagnostic
Input acquisition
Output relay management
MMI
I/O updating
DSP data processing
