FUTURE OF PLC
DEVELOPMENT OF PLC
• Smaller size
• Ethernet communications capability
• Self diagnostics
• Enhanced data storage and sharing
• Remote and real-time monitoring
• Virtualization
 Hybrid PLC architecture : Processor and FPGA

What is an FPGA?
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are semiconductor devices
that are based around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs)
connected via programmable interconnects. FPGAs can be
reprogrammed to desired application or functionality requirements
after manufacturing.
Hybrid Processor and FPGA Example

Product Architecture (Processor and FPGA)

PLC 1 NEC ASSP (MIPS) and FPGA
PLC 2 Renesas (V850) and FPGA

• 4,600 DMIPs for less than 1.8 W & up to 1,600 GMACs and 300 GFLOPS based on >125 Gbps
processor to FPGA inter-connect and cache coherent hardware accelerators

• Lower power
• Up to 30% less power

• Reduced BOM and PCB space and layer cost

• Up to a 55% form factor reduction

• Scalability and investment protection

• Scalable SoC processor roadmap grows with application needs and protects software development
investment

• Flexibility
• SoC FPGAs can accommodate software and hardware changes
