What is RTConnect?

A multi-platform distributed real-time database, linking Windows to real time operating systems, enabling the rapid development of reconfigurable distributed applications.

RTConnect is the easiest way to reduce your development costs and increase the versatility of your networked systems.

Applications can read and write data items anywhere on the network merely by knowing the item name.

RTConnect is available for Windows, VxWorks, iRMX, RTX, Siemens TDC, National Instruments CompactRIO and others on request.

Why use RTConnect?

  • Shorten the development time of your distributed and stand-alone systems.
  • Makes communicating data between applications a breeze – forget about dealing with communication protocols – local or remote! Focus on your applications development.
  • No complex network setup required – install and be up and running in minutes.
  • Your applications are location independent - move from one node to another without reconfiguration.
  • Enhance the configurability of your systems by adding or removing nodes and data items as required.
  • Intelligent real-time synchronisation of nodes minimises network traffic.
  • Access control - eliminate errors due to multiple applications writing to the same variable.
  • Option to automatically save and restore persistent values to allow tuning data to be retained over a system reboot.
  • APIs for most common programming languages and development environments allows “single line of code” access to data values.
  • Build heterogeneous systems using the best tools for each component and connect them using RTConnect.
  • Easily monitor data values for visualisation or commissioning purposes. Quickly construct MMIs using your favourite tools.
  • Connect disparate systems together and share data between them.
  • Change or upgrade your MMI without touching the rest of your system.
  • RTConnect has been deployed world-wide over the last 12 years, and forms the heart of  hundreds of mission critical, high-speed, high integrity real time systems. RTConnect has proved itself many times over.
  • RTConnect makes it easy to test your applications by allowing test harnesses easy assess to your data. Simulation applications can temporarily replace your “real world” systems.
