A Design Method for Low-cost and SOPC-based Flexible Lifting Control System

To efficiently reduce the development and production costs of the intelligent lifting control system, we introduce a design method for the intelligent lifting system with client-server architecture. We replace DSP processor core or DSP (Digital Signal processor) core with Nois II soft-core processor so that the design and production costs can be effectively cut. By replacing DSP processor or DSP processor core with Nois II soft-core processor, the design and production costs can be significantly reduced. In our design, loop vector control units work as a server processor, and a central computing unit with four independent multipliers and two adders is employed, with the implementation method based on a state machine. The experimental results prove effective in reducing resource requirements for FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), show that the proposed method can be successfully applied to the implementation of a complete intelligent flexible lifting control system on a low-end Altera Cyclone FPGA, and servo motor control achieves better dynamic performance
