Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have been used for many decades for standard control in industrial and factory environments. Over the years, PLCs have become computational efficient and powerful, and a robust platform with applications beyond the standard control and factory automation. Due to the new advanced PLC's features and computational power, they are ideal platforms for exploring advanced modeling and control methods, including computational intelligence based techniques such as neural networks, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and many others. Some of these techniques require fast floating-point calculations that are now possible in real-time on the PLC. This paper focuses on the …

Models of integrated circuits (ICs) allow printed circuit board (PCB) developers to predict radiated and conducted emissions early in board development and allow IC manufactures insight into how to build their ICs better for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). A model of the power delivery network, similar to the ICEM or LECCS model, was developed for a microcontroller running a typical program and used to predict the noise voltage between the power and return planes of a PCB. The IC and package model was generated using the Apache tool suite. A model of the PCB was created using an electromagnetic cavity model …


Estimation Of The Statistical Variation Of Crosstalk In Wiring Harnesses, Meilin Wu, Daryl G. Beetner, Todd H. Hubing, Haixin Ke, Shishuang Sun Aug 2008

Analyzing interference problems in vehicle wiring harnesses requires fast and accurate methods of approximating crosstalk. Worst-case approximations using lumped element models are fast and easy to use, but run the risk of overestimating problems. Statistical methods that account for the random variation of wire position help prevent overdesign, but are often difficult and time-consuming to apply and lack a clear link between problems and their cause. Here we investigate the use of simple lumped-element models to predict the statistical variation of crosstalk in wire harness bundles. Models are based on lumped-element approximations, where inductance and capacitance values are calculated for …
