CONTROL KERNEL: A KEY CONCEPT IN EMBEDDED CONTROL SYSTEMS

Abstract Embedded control systems are becoming ubiquitous in control applications. They combine the properties of computer embedded system with newly designed complex controllers where flexible, safe and reconfigurable operations are required. Some common and general features are always required in any control system, independently of the hardware implementing platform. The new concept of the control kernel of an application is introduced, making easier the design of general purpose applications.
