Design and implementation of an interactive digital controller development system

The authors present the design and implementation of a microcomputer-based interactive digital controller development system. A multiprocessor-based hardware architecture has been proposed for the implementation of a distributed parallel digital controller. A complicated digital control algorithm can be synthesized by using fundamental software building blocks. A high-level digital controller description language has been designed to simplify the programming task of the digital control algorithm. The designed system provides users with an interactive environment for the development of high-performance digital control systems.<>
