More Information
Summary:A control device for controlling a system having a processor for executing control programs, memory means for storing data and control programs, and interface modules which can be used to transfer control instructions to actuators or to further control devices is connected to other control devices by means of a data bus. The control device includes a plurality of cells of the same type, each of which has a piece of reconfigurable hardware and peripheral modules. These cells can be reconfigured by configuration data, so that hardware connections for each cell can be adjusted to adapt to a desired control process. One or more cells together form a processor and/or interface modules.
