MetaOS SO2xxx Series: Linux GUI, the Integrated Compute-Control Solution Rooted in Linux Ecosystem
One Device = Full Linux GNOME Desktop + Hard Real-Time Kernel
Natively compatible with Linux ecosystem to unlock full industrial compute-control potential
Driven by industrial intelligence, the performance threshold of control systems keeps evolving from PLC to PAC, single-core to multi-core, bare-metal deployment to virtualization. Every architectural upgrade creates new development possibilities for manufacturers.
- One PLC for real-time motion control
- One industrial PC for vision algorithm execution
- One edge server for cloud data transmission
Three separate devices, three distinct OS platforms from three different suppliers. System debugging always involves troublesome cross-vendor and cross-protocol coordination.
Another prevalent pain point: Even with Ubuntu running on the industrial PC, developers have to compile numerous Socket programs for PLC communication, often resulting in data latency of over a dozen milliseconds.
Many developers expect a single machine equipped with native Linux desktop and direct EtherCAT bus control – and that’s where MetaOS SO2xxx comes into play
SO2xxx Positioning: Native Linux-First Platform for Linux Developers
All MetaOS product lines adopt dual-kernel integrated compute-control architecture yet differ in implementation:
- SO2xxx: Preinstalled complete GNOME desktop, optimized for high-performance scenarios built entirely on Linux stacks
- SO3xxx: Multi-form deployment supporting Windows and domestic OS for versatile general industrial control
- SO4xxx: Comprehensive SDK & toolchains for advanced customized development by professional developers
Users get a familiar GNOME-based Linux desktop on SO2xxx, while the same hardware directly controls servo drives via EtherCAT master with microsecond-level latency.
In short, SO2xxx is tailor-made for engineers developing industrial control applications on Linux desktop.
Three Typical Application Scenarios
1. Semiconductor Equipment｜Dual-Chamber ALD Deposition Equipment
- Traditional Solution: Separated IPC and PLC lead to high system cost and limited communication speed between upper and lower controllers.
- Sinsegye SO2xxx Solution: All-in-one iPC replaces discrete IPC plus imported PLC, cutting cabinet footprint and overall cost by over 50%. The dual-domain architecture runs HMI software on GNOME desktop with high-speed cross-domain data exchange via shared memory. Its real-time layer natively supports EtherCAT alongside DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA and serial protocols to satisfy multi-bus networking for precision ALD production.
2. Wind Turbine Main Control｜24/7 Heavy-Duty Operation
Wind turbine control demands concurrent tasks including algorithm operation, frequency calculation, power management and temperature monitoring, plus real-time data upload to SCADA with strict standards for computing capability, real-time performance and cloud transmission.
- Traditional Solution: Dual-unit setup of PLC + Linux IPC relies on costly third-party development tools like MATLAB, causing high development expense, poor compatibility and low integration.
- Sinsegye SO2xxx Solution: Complete Linux compiling toolchain enables seamless program migration. The real-time domain reliably runs core algorithms such as PID regulation and blade yaw control with CAN/EtherCAT high-speed communication; the non-real-time domain hosts Web services for data aggregation, equipment diagnosis and centralized wind farm monitoring. Local data processing eliminates external data forwarding for low latency and enhanced security.
3. 3C Vision & Motion Integration｜AI Defect Inspection + Synchronized Robotic Control
Integrated equipment needs synchronous high-speed image capture, AI inference and robotic rejection control, requiring parallel operation of non-real-time AI and hard real-time motion tasks.
- Traditional Solution: Separate IPC for AI computing and PLC for motion control causes excessive transmission delay, poor synchronization and high hardware cost due to long cross-device data links.
- Sinsegye SO2xxx Solution: Sinsegye Univision AI software installs directly on Linux desktop; inference results transmit to real-time domain instantly via shared memory. The real-time layer triggers EtherCAT-driven robotic rejection with millisecond response. Cross-hardware data forwarding is eliminated to form a seamless capture-inference-control closed loop with simplified structure and minimized latency.
