Orion/MMS® Control and Modeling Systems

Real Time Control & Modeling

Orion/MMS® by Octant Technologies provides the tool-set to rapidly develop real-time, embedded controllers and dynamic system models targeted to the VME platform. Orion/MMS®  offers Multi-Model System (MMS) to give you modularity in generated code designs. With MMS technology, you'll compile faster, dynamically link and retarget single and multi-processing architectures across an array of processors with ease. 
Use Orion/MMS® for rapid prototyping, real-time interactive testing (PIL, HIL), industrial and production control, flight systems development and for mission planning and training activities. 
Orion/MMS® provides seamless support for automatically generated code from both National Instruments' SystemBuild®/AutoCode® and The Mathworks Simulink®/Real-Time Workshop® tool-sets*.
Data Visualization
Display and archive your data in a meaningful way with Orion/MMS® using datascope™. datascope™ provides a rich set of GUI control and display widgets that automatically connect to a highly scalable real-time database; you may also import your own pictures and displays. The flexible client-server relationship supports a multiple client architecture. Supervisory control and alarms monitoring capabilities are also provided. Data logging and trend analysis tools provide the capability to store and rapidly view
collected data. You may also create scripts to interact with Orion/MMS® to perform automated regression tests. Orion/MMS® supports an open client interface with the Octant Stream Server (OSS). Other displays such as LabVIEW® can be supported on customized projects using OSS’s open API*. Orion/MMS® also contains an embedded web server to remotely monitor and control your applications..
Configurable Signal Interface
A wide variety of continuous analog and discrete electrical signals over a range
of voltage and current specifications are available in various configurations to
optimize your design for performance and economy. Most common asynchronous, synchronous and network protocols are supported. A series of sensor and actuator interfaces for motion, thermal and electrical power control complete the family of real-time interface options. A well defined device driver interface allows Octant engineers to quickly create new device drivers to extend our list of supported commercially available devices. Octant's hardware engineers can also design signal interfaces for custom applications.
Graphical Configuration Tools
Orion/MMS® models are targeted to processors and inter-connected at initialization using a file specification, or “scenario.” Octant's scenario editor speeds scenario development with a graphical user interface. This integrated tool manages processor selection, model assignment, inter-model signal connection, electrical interface configurations and display interconnections. Automated ‘make’ and ‘run’ support ensures a proper architectural configuration.
Scalable Processing
Orion/MMS® systems scale to economically fit your needs while providing superior performance in real-time operation. Rack mounted and portable configurations host single processor, multiprocessor and multi-chassis architectures. MMS makes it easy to port designs among many configurations. Stretch your modeling power farther with Orion/MMS® workstation target tools. Non real-time workstation targets work with the real-time embedded Orion/MMS® platform to give true source level module debugging, even when using a graphical code generator.
Workstation Modeling
Octant offers workstation targets for non real-time modeling in conjunction with Orion/MMS®. Solaris and Windows versions are available. Workstation
modeling offers a low cost adjunct to the real-time version for design development, off line debugging and non real-time execution. Orion/MMS® technology facilitates easy migration of your designs across all platforms.
Data Acquisition
Orion/MMS® supplies real-time data acquisition capabilities to capture test data input/output signal streams. User supplied specifications configure the logging mechanism to record an individual signal or groups of signals at regular intervals for off-line analysis.

Applications
Orion/MMS® simulators from Octant support a wide range of applications.
