DAI Fei, WU Jinyong. Research and Realization of POWERLINK Based on VxWorks OS[J]. Electric Drive for Locomotives, 2016,(1):67-70. DOI: 10.13890/j.issn.1000-128x.2016.01.014.
POWERLINK, the novel real-time Ethernet communication protocol, was introduced from operation principle andperformance characteristics. In order to implement POWERLINK under VxWorks OS, the design idea and software realization of protocolstack transplanting to VxWorks platform was expounded, including protocol stack banding, timer configure and interrupt service programprocessing etc. At last, the ported program was tested, which showed the characteristics of strong load, high real time and reliability ofPOWERLINK.
