Evolvable hardware provides the capability to evolve analog circuits to produce amplifier and filter functions. Conventional analog controller designs employ these same functions. Analog controllers for the control of the shaft speed of a DC motor are evolved on an evolvable hardware plaform utilizing a Field Programmable Transistor Array (FPTA). The performance of these evolved controllers is ...

The design and implementation of a digital wheelchair controller system is presented in this paper. This novel model depicts an information flow between the driving commands and wheel speed. A command interpreter and two speed processing datapaths are proposed as functionally independent blocks for the controller. The control process consists of the following steps: command decoding, speed esti...

ABSTRACT This paper deals with a comparison of centralized and decentralized approaches to obtain an optimal controller for discrete manufacturing systems. It is based on a modular modeling of the plant to avoid combinatory explosion found in centralized structure and a synthesis algorithm. From the local Plant Elements, local constraints are defined to build local supervisors. Local constraint...

We describe a simple, compact, inexpensive thermal cycler that can be used for the polymerase chain reaction. Based on heat transfer with air to samples in sealed capillary tubes, the apparatus resembles a recirculating hair dryer. The temperature is regulated via thermocouple input to a programmable set-point process controller that provides proportional output to a solid state relay controlli...

The Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) is used for three phase bridge Inverter to produce AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The purpose of controller is to produce regulated output voltage with low distortion under varying load conditions. A triangular carrier based space vector pulse width modulation is developed in MATLAB using Xilinx block set and executed in Fie...

Abstract: In control applications, most of the physical systems require a real-time operation to interface high speed constraints; higher density programmable logic devices such as field programmable gate array (FPGA) can be used to integrate large amounts of logic in a single IC. This paper presents an Experimental implementation of digital logic designs on the Altera DE2 board which presented...
