Programmable Specialized Controllers - a New Class for Control of Unique and Small - Batch Production Technical Objects

摘要

In this paper, a new class of programmable specialized controllers intended for unique technical objects is defined. This class combines advantages of embedded systems and programmable logic controllers. The organization of computational process is presented. A user-friendly programming language and its 'real time' interpreter are proposed. The debugging of user program is described. The applicability of the proposed class for control of unique and small-batch production technical objects is discussed. A control system of rotary bioreactor based on programmable specialized controllers is presented.
