Industrial applications are perpetually seeking the right answer, on time. Deterministic, low latency computation and communication in Xilinx SoCs and FPGAs are ideal for converged IT/OT Gateways and Fog Computing in traditional industrial environments or smart cities. Whatever mix of edge processing to complement the cloud, bridging of wired and wireless communication protocols, including software-defined baseband processing, and I/O connections to diverse sensors an application requires, a Xilinx solution will be anchored in a strong hardware root of trust for robust cybersecurity.

A subset of Xilinx capabilities is represented in the expanding APICS demo platform which includes:

• Connectivity from Ethernet POWERLINK to OPC UA over Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) bridged to DDS over TSN to general purpose I/O
• Compliance for IEC 62443 cybersecurity, including secure and measured boot with remote attestation, secure cloud enrollment, communications  and update
• Distributed Machine Learning using container technology from cloud to edge over wired or wireless network
• Single chip-PLC with an IEC 61131-3 compliant solution
