“…The linking between them is assured by 32 bits width data streams. This choice is based on two parameters (1) All data are in floating point format (2) The emulator module will be implemented as a co-processor to the MB processor with FSL connections (Achballah et al, 2010). The software processes (Producer and Consumer) are necessary to simulate the hardware process (Emulator) with the Application Monitor tool.…”

Problem statement: Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuits play a significant role in major recent embedded process control designs. However, exploiting these platforms requires deep hardware conception skills and remains an important time consuming stage in a design flow. High Level Synthesis technique avoids this bottleneck and increases design productivity as witnessed by industry specialists. Approach: This study proposes to apply this technique for the conception and implementation of a Real Time Direct Current Machine (RTDCM) emulator for an embedded control application. Results: Several FPGA-based configuration scenarios are studied. A series of tests including design and timing-precision analysis were conducted to discuss and validate the obtained hardware architectures. Conclusion/Recommendations: The proposed methodology has accelerated the design time besides it has provided an extra time to refine the hardware core of the DCM emulator. The high level synthesis technique can be applied to the control field especially to test with low cost and short delays newest algorithms and motor models.

The research presented in this chapter deals with the design and implementation of Real-Time (RT) control systems applying advanced Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs). The chapter proposes a promising flexible architecture that uses RT Operating System (RTOS) and ready-to-use Intellectual Properties (IPs). The authors detail an approach that uses software closed control loop function blocks (FB), running on embedded processor cores. These FBs implement the different control drive sub-modules into RTOS tasks of the execution environment, where each task has to be executed under well defined conditions. Two RTOSes are evaluated: µC-OS/II and Xilkernel. The FPGA embedded processor cores are combined with reconfigurable logic and dedicated resources on the FPGA. This System-on-Chip (SoC) has been applied to electric motors drive. A comparative analysis, in terms of speed and cost, is carried-out between various hardware/software FPGA-based architectures, in order to enhance flexibility without sacrificing performance and increasing cost. Case studies results validate successfully the feasibility and the efficiency of the flexible approach for new and more complex control algorithms. The performance and flexibility of FPGA-based motor controllers are enhanced with the reliability and modularity of the introduced RTOS support.
