Abstract

See full text

Control systems and methods are provided. The systems and methods include a field programmable gate array (FPGA) in which a plurality of functional processing units (FPUs) are formed, and one or memories having a plurality of memory locations. An input signal is received from a sensor and is processed in at least some of the FPUs. The FPUs can be reused one or more times during the processing of a single input signal. The system can also receive a control signal as an additional input. In response to the inputs, an output signal is generated. The output signal can be used to control an actuator. In accordance with further embodiments, the operation of the FPUs can be reconfigured by storing different operating parameter values in memory.
