A Portable Implementation on Industrial Devices of a Predictive Controller Using Graphical Programming

This paper presents an approach for developing an extended prediction self-adaptive controller employing graphical programming of industrial standard devices for controlling fast processes. For comparison purposes, the algorithm has been implemented on three different field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) chips. This paper presents research aspects regarding graphical-programming controller design, showing that a single advanced control application can run on different targets without requiring significant program modifications. Based on the time needed for processing the control signal and on the application, one can efficiently and easily select the most appropriate device. To exemplify the procedure, a conclusive case study is presented.
