FPGA-based embedded Logic Controllers

2014

In general case, reconfigurable logic controllers (RLC) are included into reactive digital embedded systems, carrying out control for several processes proceeding concurrently. The paper presents a practical application of a formal, rule-based specification language in Gentzen sequent logic, which is used as an intermediate textual description of a control interpreted Petri net. On the other hand exactly the same description serves also as logic design expressions, related with different versions of functionally equivalent concurrent state machine models, considered on Register Transfer Level. The symbolic rule-based specification of Petri net-based embedded Logic Controllers (LCs) can be s…
