چکیده
NuDE 2.0 (Nuclear Development Environment) is a model-based software development environment for safetycritical digital systems in nuclear power plants. It makes possible to develop PLC-based systems as well as FPGA-based systems simultaneously from the same requirement or design specifications. The case study showed that the NuDE 2.0 can be adopted as an effective method of bridging the gap between the existing PLC and upcoming FPGA-based developments as well as a means of gaining diversity. Keyword: software development, PLC, FPGA, nuclear power plants

NuDE 2.0: A Formal Method-based Software Development, Verification and Safety Analysis Environment for Digital I&Cs in NPPs
NuDE 2.0 (Nuclear Development Environment 2.0) is a formal-method-based software development, verification and safety analysis environment for safety-critical digital I&Cs implemented with programmable logic controller (PLC) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It simultaneously develops PLC/FPGA software implementations from one requirement/design specification and also helps most of the ...
متن کاملA Research on Seamless Platform Change of Reactor Protection System from Plc to Fpga
A safety grade PLC is an industrial digital computer used to develop safety-critical systems such as RPS (Reactor Protection System) for nuclear power plants. The software loaded into a PLC is designed using specific PLC programming languages [1] such as FBD (Function Block Diagram) and LD (Ladder Diagram), which are then translated and compiled into a C program and executable machine code of a...

The evolution of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as custom-computing machines for digital signal processing (DSP), real-time embedded and reconfigurable systems development, embedded processors, and as co-processors for application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) prototyping has led to the emergence of several modeling and design methodologies among which are the register transfer lev...
متن کاملFPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
متن کاملAn FPGA implementation of hard-wired sequence control system based on PLC software
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 requirements in large and highly responsive systems. With the state-of-the-art FPGA technology, it is possible to implement a control program with hard-wired logic for higher response and reduced implementation cost/space. Th...
