Malmo, Skåne, Sweden Saab AB Full time

In this bachelor thesis, you will work on a project that involves the development of virtualized programmable logic controllers (SoftPLCs). A SoftPLC is a software-based PLC that can replace traditional hardware-based PLCs. This can reduce costs, increase reliability, flexibility, and scalability.

Project Tasks

The project consists of three main tasks:

  1. A report describing a typical development environment for a SoftPLC, how a server can be configured to run several SoftPLCs using virtual machines (deterministic operating systems). What are the pros and cons of a SoftPLC implementation (redundancy).
  2. A prototype using a server with several virtual machines running SoftPLCs with an external network of sensors.
  3. A comparison between different SoftPLC applications and time deterministic operating systems with a focus on performance, cost, and complexity.
