Go Make Something Real – The Potential for Go on the Factory Floor
summary
Fathom5 claims Go runs real-time on legacy industrial hardware by shipping three concrete tools: a serial proxy called Seymour / C-More net server that multiplexes RS-232/RS-485 Modbus onto TCP, preserves original timing, supports read/write and powered a remote DEFCON CTF; a discrete-event cyber-physical simulator that runs weeks of plant behavior in hours with 1s tick granularity; and a singleton channel pattern (buffer 1) that protects dozens of state maps. A COVID robot scales from 100 to 400 tests/hour within 60–90 days; IMO2020 compliance reduces ship sulfur ~7×.
