Artis GmbH developed plug-in PC cards for control systems that could detect fault conditions in machine tools before machine damage occurred. The latest development was a PCI card (“ASV5“), equipped with a fast PowerPC processor controlled by an embedded real-time operating system (Jaluna, Chorus OS) with a POSIX layer. My task was to detail and implement the existing design concept by creating specifications for individual processes. An important criterion was achieving a response time of 1-10 ms. I worked on tasks in the areas of interprocess communication and database programming (including base classes, process state machine, MIPC, event handling).
