FPGA Implementation of a Hybrid On-line Process Monitoring in PC Based Real-time Systems

Abstract

This paper presents one way of FPGA implementation of hybrid (hardware-software based) on-line process monitoring in Real-Time systems (RTS). The reasons for RTS monitoring are presented at the beginning. The summary of different RTS monitoring approaches along with its advantages and drawbacks are also exposed. Finally, monitoring module is described in details. Also, FPGA implementation results and some useful monitoring system applications are mentioned.
