Although a programmable logic controller (PLC) has been widely adopted for the sequence
control of industrial machinery, its performance does not always satisfy the recent …

Reconfigurable logic has gained relevance in high-speed computer numerical control
(CNC) digital controllers where high processing speed at the servo loop update time is …

In the paper, a synthesis method of logic controllers for safety critical systems into field
programmable logic is presented. The specification of the system in the form of symbolic, if …

Although the performance of traditional PLC technology is adequate for the majority of
industrial automation and control tasks, there exist a number of demanding applications …

By implementing a control program with hard-wired logic using reconfigurable devices (eg,
FPGA), a flexible and highly responsive system can be realized. This new system also …

For small, stand-alone control of a single process, microPLCs are more cost effective,
compact, and easier to use than PC-based solutions. There have been some studies on the …

PLC, the core element of modern automation systems, due to serial execution, exhibits
limitations like slow speed and poor scan time. Improved PLC design using FPGA has been …

In this work, we present an industrial cold walled Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system,
which can be controlled by either a traditional programmable logic controller (PLC) system …

This study presents the application of the commercial High Level Synthesis (HLS) to a
hardwired control application with quantitative comparison to the traditional approach that …

The paper concentrates on the behavioral specification of Reconfigurable Logic Controller
programs, given initially as Petri nets and later rewritten in Hardware Description …
