  • Patent number: 10353767
    Abstract: A control system includes a computing channel and an object control channel. The computing channel includes command and monitor lanes. The command lane has a first processor core with a first core architecture receiving input data and generating first data based on the input data. The monitor lane has a second processor core with second core architecture receiving the input data and generating second data based on the input data. The first core architecture and the second core architecture are dissimilar and implemented in a single system-on chip device. The computing channel outputs the first data as command data responsive to determining the first data is matched to the second data. The object control channel corresponds to the computing channel and includes an object control system receiving the command data and generating an object control signal based on the command data to control operation of at least one part of an object system.

  • Publication number: 20130179528
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to use of one or more multicore processors for network communication (e.g., Ethernet-based communication) in control systems (e.g., vehicle control systems, medical control systems, hospital control systems, instrumentation control systems, test instrument control systems, energy control systems and/or industrial control systems). In one example, one or more systems may be provided with regard to use of multicore processor(s) for network communication (e.g., Ethernet-based communication) in control systems. In another example, one or more methods may be provided with regard to use of multicore processor(s) for network communication (e.g., Ethernet-based communication) in control systems.
