Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a controller for a virtual sorting system based on FSM (Finite State Machines) with implementation in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The paper highlights the interface between hardware and a virtual plant that simulates its real behavior. Moreover, the control solution is implemented in FPGA which allows real time operation. All steps of the developed project are presented including a proper problem description, developing tools and implementation. Moreover, simulations are performed to test the overall system functioning.. All hardware implementation is made in a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) like FPGA.
