“…This limits the maximum data rate and bus length, with 1Mbps only achievable with bus lengths of 20m or shorter, although this is adequate for the proposed application. Faster fault-tolerant communication buses exist, such as FlexRay and Spacewire, which are designed for automotive and aerospace applications [31], but these are not implemented on any low cost microcontrollers, and would require extra hardware, increasing the control board size and cost.…”

Abstract-Modular generator and converter topologies are being pursued for large offshore wind turbines to achieve fault tolerance and high reliability. A centralized controller presents a single critical point of failure which has prevented a truly modular and fault tolerant system from being obtained. This study analyses the inverter circuit control requirements during normal operation and grid fault ride-through, and proposes a distributed controller design to allow inverter modules to operate independently of each other. All the modules independently estimate the grid voltage magnitude and position, and the modules are synchronised together over a CAN bus. The CAN bus is also used to interleave the PWM switching of the modules and synchronise the ADC sampling. The controller structure and algorithms are tested by laboratory experiments with respect to normal operation, initial synchronization to the grid, module fault tolerance and grid fault ride-through.

This paper shows the benefits of the Field Programming Gate Array (FPGAs) in industrial control applications. The author starts by addressing the benefits of FPGA and where it is useful. As well as, the author has done some FPGA's evaluation researches on the FPGA performing explaining the performance of the FPGA and the design tools. To show the benefits of the FPGA, an industrial application example has been used. The application is a real-time face detection and tracking using FPGA. Face tracking will depend on calculating the centroid of each detected region. A DE2-SoC Altera board has been used to implement this application. The application based on few algorithms that filter the captured images to detect them. These algorithms have been translated to a Verilog code to run it on the DE2-SoC board.

-The aim of this paper is to review the state of the art of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies and their contribution in industrial control applications. Authors start by addressing various research fields where FPGAs are useful. The features of these devices are then presented followed by their corresponding design tools. To illustrate the benefit of using FPGAs in the case of complex control applications, a sensorless motor controller has been treated. This controller is based on the Extended Kalman Filter. Its development has been made according to a dedicated design methodology which is also discussed. Another example of illustration is the Neural Network Systems. To show the interest of FPGAs in this field, some case studies have been presented.
