Design methodology of application specific integrated circuits for mechatronic systems

摘要

In this paper we describe the implementation of a controller for mechatronic applications. First, a brief overview of the mechatronic application, an integrated magnetic bearing system, is given. The design process for a software and hardwareprototype implementation is described and details of the individual modules within the design process are given. The controller of the magnetic bearing is implemented using a graphical high-level approach. From this implementation a C/VHDL description isautomatically generated and transferred either as a software prototype to a DSP system or as a hardware prototype to a FPGA based system located at the test rig.
