A microprogrammed control unit stores control signals for executing instructions in a control memory rather than using dedicated logic. It has four main components: 1) a control memory that stores microinstructions specifying microoperations, 2) a control address register that selects microinstructions, 3) a sequencer that generates the next address, and 4) a pipeline register that holds the selected microinstruction. Microprograms are sequences of microinstructions that are executed to carry out machine-level instructions. Microinstructions can implement conditional branching to alter the control flow.
The main components of a CPU are the control unit, protection test unit, and arithmetic logic unit. The control unit directs the functions of the CPU, while the protection test unit monitors that functions are performed correctly in coordination with the control unit. The arithmetic logic unit handles all calculations and logic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and comparisons.
The document discusses control unit design in processors. It describes that the control unit is responsible for generating control and timing signals to synchronize internal and external events. It discusses two approaches to control unit design: hardwired and microprogramming. The hardwired approach is faster but more complex, while the microprogrammed approach is more flexible but slower. It also explains finite state machines are used to represent the control unit and discusses factors that influence control unit complexity.
BLOCK DIAGRAM OF HARDWIRED CONTROL UNITRahul Sharma
The document discusses the control unit in computer architecture. It notes there are two kinds of control units: hardwired and microprogrammed. A hardwired control unit is made up of sequential and combinational circuits to generate control signals. It has the advantage of fast operation but the disadvantage that the wiring must be changed if the design needs to be altered. The document includes a block diagram of a hardwired timing and control unit.
The document discusses different types of control systems for CPUs, including hardwired and microprogrammed control. It explains that microprogrammed control uses sequences of microinstructions stored in memory to interpret instructions, allowing for more flexibility than hardwired control. The execute cycle is categorized into four groups of actions: CPU-memory transfers, CPU-I/O transfers, data processing, and control alterations. Microinstructions are organized into fields that activate control signals, and the main concerns in microinstruction sequencing design are microinstruction size and address generation time.
The document discusses microprogrammed control units. It describes how control units use a control memory (like ROM) to store microinstructions that specify sequences of microoperations. This allows the control logic to be changed by updating the microprogram in control memory. In comparison, hardwired control units implement control logic with gates and circuits, allowing for faster operation but requiring wiring changes to modify the design. The document outlines the typical components of a microprogrammed control unit, including the control memory, control address register, sequencer, and control data register. It provides examples of microinstruction formats and symbolic and binary microprograms.
The document describes an existing system in a steel rolling mill where scaling and cutting motors run continuously, wasting energy, and proposes automating the motors with a PLC and VFDs.
The proposed system uses a proximity sensor to sense when a rod is present. The sensor signal is sent to the PLC, which operates the VFDs to run the scaling and cutting motors at full speed only when necessary to process the rod. This minimizes energy consumption by avoiding running the motors when not required.

The document describes the components and functioning of a microprogram sequencer. The microprogram sequencer selects the next address from various sources like the current microinstruction address field, an incremented address, or an external source. It uses multiplexers and registers to select the appropriate next address and load it into the control address register to fetch the next microinstruction from memory. The input logic determines the types of operations the sequencer can perform, such as branching, subroutine calls and returns, and other address sequencing functions.
Three key points about distribution switchboards:
1. Distribution switchboards must comply with standards like IEC 60439-1 to ensure dependability. Standards define functional units and required separation between units.
2. There are two main types - traditional switchboards with fixed components, and functional switchboards which are modular and standardized for flexibility.
3. Functional switchboards have advantages like modularity, faster installation, and certification to standards which ensure reliability. Compliance with standards is essential for adequate dependability.
The control unit is responsible for controlling the flow of data and operations in a computer. It generates timing and control signals to coordinate the arithmetic logic unit, memory, and other components. Control units can be implemented using either hardwired or microprogrammed logic. A hardwired control unit uses combinational logic circuits like gates and flip-flops to directly generate control signals, while a microprogrammed control unit stores control sequences as microprograms in a control memory and executes them step-by-step using microinstructions. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages related to speed, flexibility, cost, and complexity of implementation.
The document discusses the history and development of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It explains that PLCs were developed in the 1960s to offer the same functionality as relay logic systems in a programmable and reusable manner. PLCs replaced hardwired control panels which were difficult to modify. The document then covers PLC components, programming, and provides an example ladder logic program for a mixer process control problem to illustrate how a control system can be programmed on a PLC similarly to a relay logic diagram.
This document discusses microprogrammed control in CPUs. It explains that microprogrammed control uses a control memory to store microinstructions that specify sequences of micro-operations. Each microinstruction is a control word that determines which micro-operations will execute. By sequencing through different microinstructions stored in control memory, the CPU can perform complex instruction sets in a flexible manner compared to hardwired control logic. Advanced microprogrammed CPUs can dynamically load microprograms from auxiliary memory.

@Station is an Integrated Control and Protection designed for the operation of transmission and distribution substations. The system incorporates the latest technology in the field of substation automation to provide its users with innovative solutions to their requirements.
Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are dedicated systems used to control manufacturing processes that are continuous or batch-oriented, such as oil refining, petrochemicals, central station power generation, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage manufacturing, cement production, steelmaking, and papermaking. DCSs are connected to sensors and actuators and use set point control to control the flow of material through the plant.
The most common example is a set point control loop consisting of a pressure sensor, controller, and control valve. Pressure or flow measurements are transmitted to the controller, usually through the aid of a signal conditioning input/output (I/O) device. When the measured variable reaches a certain point, the controller instructs a valve or actuation device to open or close until the fluidic flow process reaches the desired set point.
Large oil refineries have many thousands of I/O points and employ very large DCSs. Processes are not limited to fluidic flow through pipes, however, and can also include things like paper machines and their associated quality controls (see quality control system QCS), variable speed drives and motor control centers, cement kilns, mining operations, ore processing facilities, and many others.

ISPRS: COMPARISON OF MULTIPLE IMUs IN AN EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHT TESTLaura Samsó, MSc
Laura Samsó, Mariano Wis, Ismael Colomina
GP-IMU-Bench experiment consists of simultaneous acquisition of data from multiple inertial units under the same
dynamic and static conditions. To accomplish those conditions, all the sensors are fixed on a platform that is directly
mounted into an airplane. This configuration permits all the inertial units to be able to sense the same movements. The
aim of this experiment is to obtain a set of data that allows establishing some comparisons among the IMUs that the IG
owns. The results of this experiment are very helpful to evaluate which is the best kind of IMU to be mounted on any
remote sensor.
In order to get these datasets, a series of HW and SW modifications were applied on IG’s TAG system for acquiring
the data from the IMUs simultaneously. Therefore, this paper goes through these modifications made on the system
with a more detailed description of the experiment. Some preliminary results of the comparison are shown.

IRJET- Design and Implementation of High Speed FPGA Configuration using SBIIRJET Journal
The document discusses designing and implementing high-speed FPGA configuration using spare block interfacing (SBI). The existing system uses a single self-healing block that can be affected, interrupting scheduling. The proposed system uses SBI for more accurate, timely scheduling. Spare blocks in four directions provide scheduling help if errors occur by generating temporary storage, spare data, or delaying the clock. This improves FPGA configuration performance. The proposed system also includes a fault injection block to randomly inject faults and test the watchdog timer's ability to detect faults. Implementation of FPGA in scheduling is discussed along with results and simulations showing the proposed windowed watchdog approach checks parameters individually in each window stage.

controllers, to the CENTUM VP integrated production control
system and to operate and monitor those external controllers on
the Human Interface Station (HIS) screens, the operation and
monitoring screens for the CENTUM VP.
To achieve this purpose, the UGS converts various control
protocols to the CENTUM VP protocol or vice versa and
allows the Human Interface Station (HIS) or the Field Control
Station (FCS) to read data from or write data to an external
controller via the UGS.
In addition, the UGS has a conversion function for
alarms, which is essential for operation and monitoring, and
thus achieves closer integration.
When an external controller is connected to the CENTUM
VP, the engineering result of the external controller can be
converted and incorporated into the UGS as its engineering
data, thus reducing required engineering man-hours.
BACKGROUND OF DEVELOPING
UNIFIED OPERATION AND MONITORING
ENVIRONMENT
„„ Issue (necessity of unified operation and monitoring
environment)
In the upstream of the oil and gas industry such as
offshore platforms or subsea wells, which are the target
applications of the UGS, as a wide variety of controllers
from different vendors are used depending on their specific
applications, they are operated and monitored on their own
screens.
In such an environment, operation and monitoring tasks
including those for processes (process data operation and
monitoring, and alarm monitoring) and those for the system
itself are very inefficient.
To solve this problem and improve the efficiency of
operation and monitoring tasks, it is necessary to establish a
unified operation and monitoring environment that allows the
operator to operate and monitor the controllers on the same
screens regardless of the differences among the controllers.
„„ Conventional solutions
Conventional solutions to the problem include applying
the FCS subsystem communications or the System Integration
OPC Station (SIOS) of the CENTUM VP.
The FCS subsystem communications are highly reliable,
but limited in the total capacity of controllers that can be
connected to the system.

2. Achieving an Innovative Unified Operation Environment Using the Unified Gateway Station (UGS)
Yokogawa Technical Report English Edition Vol.54 No.2 (2011) 2094
The SIOS requires much engineering effort because
it does not support alarms and needs OLE Process Control
(OPC) servers to connect external controllers.
„„ Solution by UGS
To solve the problem, we have developed the UGS that has
the following features for unified operation and monitoring
environment on HIS.
●● Seamless process operation and monitoring (for process
data and alarms) and system monitoring among different
controllers
●● Wide range of operation and monitoring
●● Improved engineering efficiency
The UGS with these features solves the differences among
communications protocols, helping the operator smoothly
operate and monitor the whole plant.
OUTLINE OF UGS
The UGS is a gateway station installed between
the CENTUM VP and external controllers to perform
communication frame conversion of process data and alarms.
Figure 1 shows the UGS’s position in a system and its
internal configuration.
Figure 1 UGS’s position in a system and
its internal configuration
To achieve transparent data access to external controllers,
the UGS provides the I/O driver and the function blocks to
allow data access from each station.
„„ I/O driver
The I/O driver provides the functions of connecting with
and acquiring data and alarms from external controllers. The
I/O driver periodically acquires data from them and updates
the data items in the function blocks. When an upper station
updates data items, the I/O driver immediately sends the
updated data to the external controllers.
The I/O driver supports the following communications
protocols.
●● FCN/FCJ communications protocol
●● OPC-DA (2.0a or later)
●● EtherNet/IP
●● MODBUS RTU (serial) and MODBUS TCP (Ethernet)
For the FCN/FCJ communications protocol, EtherNet/IP
and MODBUS, redundant communication is supported. As for
OPC-DA, redundant communication is possible by using the
library provided by the OPC server vendor.
„„ Function block
The function block, a logical collection of data acquired
by the I/O driver, generates or forwards alarms. Each station
can access data items in the block using tag names, just like
accessing the FCS.
The UGS supports the following types of function block.
●● FCN/FCJ faceplate block: For accessing the New Process
Automation System Program Organization Unit (NPAS
POU), a function block of the FCN/FCJ
●● Data item faceplate block: For accessing individual data
held in an external controller
●● Custom faceplate block: For customizing the structure of
data items
●● Annunciator faceplate block: For creating an annunciator alarm
according to on/off of the bit data held in an external controller
●● Controller monitor block: For providing the status of
connection with an external controller
Each function block, constituting a logical collection of
data, complements operation marks, alarm functions and other
functions not supported by external controllers. The function
blocks, therefore, provide the same operation and monitoring
environment as the existing function blocks of the FCS.
ACHIEVING SEAMLESS OPERATION AND
MONITORING FUNCTIONS
As shown in Figure 2, there are different HMI screens for
each controller in many existing systems and operators have to
use them for operation and monitoring tasks.
The UGS enables the whole system to be operated and
monitored on the same operation and monitoring screens
using the CENTUM VP operation and monitoring window or
the message monitor of the Consolidated Alarm Management
Software (CAMS for HIS).

3. Achieving an Innovative Unified Operation Environment Using the Unified Gateway Station (UGS)
Yokogawa Technical Report English Edition Vol.54 No.2 (2011)
Process Data Operation and Monitoring
Individual function blocks have their own names (tag
names) just like the function blocks of the FCS. Each station
can access a function block in the UGS by using the tag name.
Various process alarms generated in the UGS are
associated with the tag names of the corresponding function
blocks.
The I/O driver solves the differences among protocols of
external controllers and the function blocks provide the same
access method as existing ones. Thus, the UGS achieves a
seamless unified operation environment.
Alarm Monitoring
The function blocks are used for alarm monitoring
the same as for data operation and monitoring. Monitoring
external controllers is achieved by monitoring alarms
generated in the function blocks.
As shown in Figure 3, the function blocks of the UGS
convert alarms generated in external controllers (FCN/FCJs)
or detect and generate alarms (process alarm or annunciator).
The data item faceplate and the annunciator faceplate
enable alarm monitoring of external controllers that do not
have alarm functions.
For all the alarms, settings for acknowledgement (Ack),
alarm off (AOF), alarm priority and blinking details (self Ack,
lock and non-lock) are available.
Figure 3 Alarm monitoring
System Monitoring
The UGS can monitor the UGS itself and status of
communications with external controllers as part of a unified
operation environment.
„„ UGS system alarm
Like other stations, the UGS creates a system alarm in the
case of failure or recovery and promptly notifies operators of it.
„„ FCN/FCJ system alarm conversion
A system alarm generated in FCN/FCJ can be converted
to a UGS system alarm format and transmitted. This function
enables more elaborate FCN/FCJ monitoring.
„„ Monitoring UGS-controller communications
To monitor the communications status between the UGS
and controllers, the UGS provides a communication status
using system alarms at disconnection and restoration of the
network and the data items of the controller monitor block,
which is one of the function blocks.
WIDE RANGE OF OPERATION AND
MONITORING
In order to connect many external controllers to the
CENTUM VP, the UGS has the following capacity and
performance.
„„ Capacity
A single UGS can accommodate up to 100,000 tags
(2 million data items) and connect to up to 256 external
controllers.
„„ Performance
The UGS can acquire 6,400 data items per second from
external controllers and set 640 data items per second to them.
The UGS allows the upper stations to read 6,400 data
items per second from and write 640 data items per second to
the UGS itself.
IMPROVING EFFICIENCY OF ENGINEERING
AND MAINTENANCE
The UGS provides an efficient engineering environment
by importing engineering information for supported external
controllers and managing it collectively.
UGS Builder
Engineering of the UGS is performed using the UGS
builder, which is launched from the System View, an
engineering function of the CENTUM. As shown in Figure 4,
the GUI-based UGS builder provides engineering functions
including import functions.

Improving Engineering Efficiency by Import Functions
The following import functions enable defined
information to be incorporated into the UGS configuration
data, and automatic definition of information on connection
with external controllers and on function blocks, thus reducing
excessive engineering.
●● Smart Import (for FCN/FCJ): Import function using
configuration information defined by the engineering tool
for FCN/FCJ (the Logic Designer)
●● OPC Browse Command (for OPC-DA): Import function
using information acquired by browsing the OPC server
●● CSV Import: Import function using general formats
The following is the engineering procedure using an
import function.
1) Execute the import function. Tags are automatically
generated.
2) Perform the download. Configuration information is
downloaded to HIS and UGS.
In the engineering using the import function, definitions
of tags are automatically completed in two steps, allowing the
HIS to access an external controller.
Online Maintenance
A key requirement in the upstream of the oil and gas
industry is the capability to apply online partial changes
because wells may be frequently added or deleted.
The UGS allows the following items to be changed
through online maintenance.
●● Adding, modifying and deleting external controllers
●● Adding, modifying and deleting tags
●● Differential import (for Smart Import, OPC Browse
Command and CSV Import)
When the configuration of an external controller is
modified or devices connected to the controller are replaced,
the connection between the UGS and the controller can be
switched on/off by the controller monitor block of the UGS
to prevent the modification or replacement from affecting the
CENTUM.
CONCLUSION
This paper has introduced the UGS developed for a
unified operation environment. For this purpose, the function
to achieve close integration with external controllers,
including data and alarms, was implemented.
The UGS has introduced the expandability of the SCADA
system to the CENTUM VP highly reliable production control
system, offering users highly reliable, optimum solutions.
These solutions provide operation and monitoring on the same
screens of the HIS, i.e., unified operation and monitoring
environment, and the optimum combination of controllers.
We will improve the reliability by redundant configuration
of the UGS itself, increase the supported communications
protocols including those for other vendors’ DCS, support
broadband and narrowband communications with external
controllers and establish cooperation with the Plant Resource
Manager (PRM) integrated asset management software
package.
