Abstract  

A high efficiency communication architecture applied in distributed control system (control system inner extending bus) was proposed to realize highlyefficient transmission and realtime control, and the design of its bus interface and bus protocol was detailed. The communication architecture, which is mainly consisted of fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA), complex programmable logic device (CPLD) and ARM7 CPU, implements hot swap on the target with highspeed transmission characteristics. As to the bus interfaces, the dualchannel and parallel communication method increase the systems transmission efficiency, and the redundancy between the two channels helps enhance the reliability of the communication. As to the bus structure, the highlyefficient secondary buffer and electrical expansion make the system very flexible. This communication architecture was put into effect on a system prototype, and the results show that it has high realtime performance and highreliability.

基于FPGA的控制系统高效通信架构的设计与实现

为实现分布式系统高效数据传输和控制实时性要求,提出一种应用于集散控制系统的实时、高效通信架构(控制系统内部扩展总线),并且具体地给出总线接口的软硬件设计方法及总线协议的设计方法.通信架构主要由可编程逻辑阵列(FPGA)、复杂可编程逻辑器件(CPLD)及ARM7嵌入式微处理器构成,在保证总线高速传输特性的基础上,实现了目标模块无冲击热插拔.在总线接口上,采用双通道和并行通信设计以提高系统的传输效率,采用通道间热冗余设计以提高总线传输的可靠性;在总线结构上,采用高效的二级缓冲和电气扩展以提高系统的可扩展性和柔性.该架构方案在控制系统原理样机上得到应用验证,结果表明具有良好的实时性和可靠性.
