| Research Abstract |
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are used for factory automation systems, amusement park rides, etc. Faster, lower-cost, and more dependable PLCs are required. The original architecture proposed by me achieved 40 times faster speed than the commercial PLC (KV-1000). I also proposed methods for the higher dependability based on residue number systems. I implemented the architecture on the consumer FPGA. I announced their development at international conferences. In February 2011, I and my student, Mr. Takahashi developed a novel architecture for PLCs. We are now developing the prototype system, and verifying the performance. Preliminary experimental results show that it will have 200 times faster one than the commercial PLCs. We are now preparing papers for international conferences held in 2012 and journals published in 2013.
