The Ghost has been developed to create a merger between the standard MIDI keyboard controller, MIDI/digital guitars and alternative desktop controllers. Using a custom software editor, The Ghost’s controls can be mapped to suit the users performative needs. The interface takes its interaction and gestural cues from the guitar but it is not a MIDI guitar. The Ghost’s hardware, firmware and softw...

In this article, we present an implementation of a low-memory footprint model predictive control (MPC)-based controller in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Automatic code generation standardized IEC 61131-3 PLC programming languages is used to solve the MPC's optimization problem online. The designed for its application realistic industrial environment, including timing considerations and...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) system is a type of the hybrid systems, which is a widely used safety-critical system in industry. It is regarded that the formal method is a valuable and indispensable way of analyzing and validating the PLC systems. However, which formal methods and how to use the methods are challenges. In this article, we propose a specific formal method of the PLC sy...

A design of a compact and low-cost programmable high-voltage pulser for a linear piezo-stepper motor, using an 8 bit reduce instruction set computers (RISC) microcontroller, a high-voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor (HVCMOS) converter, and an adjustable three-terminal high-voltage regulator is presented. The design consists of 12 independent digital channels of high-voltage output ...

This paper investigates a modified modeling of networked control systems (NCSs) with programmable logic controller (PLC). First, the controller-to-actuator and sensor-to-controller network-induced delays are investigated by tactics based on hierarchical coloured petri net (HCPN) in structure-conserving way. Comparing recent result, signal transmission delay is set random interval instead fixed ...

In this work, we consider the problem of routing in hypercycles which are a class of multidimensional graphs that are generalizations of hypercubes. Hypercycles are products of circulant graphs with simple routing, incremental expandability, and range in complexity from simple rings to fully connected graphs. We present a novel framework and design methodology for a controller through a simple ...

The ADP3209D is a highly efficient, single−phase, synchronous buck switching regulator controller. With its integrated drivers, the ADP3209D is optimized for converting the notebook battery voltage to render the supply voltage required by high performance Intel chipsets. An internal 5−bit DAC is used to read a VID code directly from the chipset and to set the GMCH core voltage to a value within...

The VME bus interface Controller (VIC068A) is used to interface Local CPU bus and VME bus. VME Bus Controller is used in wide application areas where high reliability, good accuracy and high speed are desired to withstand industrial environment like nuclear power plant and process industries. VME Bus controller can configure as Master, Slave, Interrupt Handler, arbiter as well as power monitor....

Abstract In this work, multi-function vehicle bus (MVB) controller-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and MVB manager based on the real-time multitasking operating system were explored developed. The function of controller data link layer was realised by using FPGA. embedded uCOS-II applied to development manager’s processing data, device state management, message management function. n...
