Today at embedded world in Nürnberg, ICD presents how they have integrated
their Control Design Platform (CDP) with Trolltech's Qt.

CDP, is a C++ control system that provides application developers with a
powerful toolbox to develop advanced control systems in a fraction of the
time otherwise required.  The CDP libraries will integrate seamlessly with
Qt and Qtopia libraries, bringing together the power of embedded Linux and
advanced user interface development in the world of real-time control
applications.

Using CDP, application developers can instantly connect their Qt or Qtopia
based applications to a wide range of industrial standard interfaces, such
as CANopen and Modbus. CDP also provides application developers with an
extensive framework for test and simulation, including tools to perform
hardware testing.

"Industrial Control Design's integration of Qt strengthens the unique
position Qt has as a proven cross-platform development tool for advanced
industrial embedded solutions. We are convinced that customers with high
quality demands can shorten the time to market through the seamless
integration of ICD's and Trolltech's development tools" said Karsten Homann,
Vice President of Professional services at Trolltech.

Customers like Rolls-Royce's Marine division have already positioned CDP as
part of their Common Control Platform, making it the core of their control
system architecture.
