Abstract
This chapter describes the application of microprocessor-based industrial controllers in hierarchical and stand-alone configurations. Programmable systems have considerable advantages over hard-wired systems, such as the ease of configuration and modification with user-friendly graphic programming languages. After describing the architectures of standard microprocessors, three special architectures for programmable controllers are analyzed. The development of a “universal” programmable controller for both logic and fast closed-loop control is technologically possible and an innovative architecture for such a controller is described in detail. Trends in architectures for industrial controllers, the influence of software and the convergence of microcomputer and programmable controller architectures are discussed.
