Industrial OEMs, systems integrators and users developing control systems must quickly respond to changing performance, safety and feature requirements, but system architectures based on inflexible 'everything-in-one' ASICs and ASSPs are slowing the pace of redesigns. To meet the need to simplify system development and get to market faster, the Intel industrial control reference design facilitates the migration to a flexible modular architecture. It's based on an easy-to use platform, comprising hardware and software components from industrial market leaders.
