The invention relates to the technical field of
electronic communication and discloses a POWERLINK main
station and a creation method thereof. The POWERLINK main
station is based on a real-time operation
system, and the real-time operation
system is obtained by installing an Xenomai real-time kernel patch to a non real-time operation
system Linux; in the POWERLINK main
station based on the real-time operation system installed with the Xenomai real-time kernel patch, a driver interface of a bottom layer module, a driver interface of an
event queue module and a driver interface of a user module of a top layer on a POWERLINK main station based on the non real-time operation system Linux are all replaced with Xenomai real-time driver interfaces, and the real-time driver interfaces are provided by a real-time driver module of the Xenomai real-time operation system; and the bottom layer module includes a network card driver module and a
shared memory module. Compared with the prior art, the POWERLINK main station based on the real-time operation system installed with the Xenomai real-time kernel patch, provided by the invention, has the
advantage that real-time communication between the POWERLINK main station and a slave station can be realized.
