  • Programmable logic circuit for controlling an electrical facility, in particular a nuclear facility, associated control device and method
    Patent number: 11043949
    Abstract: A programmable logic circuit (10) for controlling an electrical facility, in particular a nuclear facility, includes an operating unit (14). The operating unit includes a plurality of types of functional blocks (FB1, FBi, FBN), two distinct types of functional blocks being suitable for executing at least one distinct function, at least one processing module suitable for receiving at least one sequence (46) of functional block(s) to be executed, and at least one internal memory (38) configured to store at least said sequence (46). The programmable logic circuit (10) includes a single functional block of each type, a given functional block being suitable for being called several times, and an execution module (22) configured to execute the called functional block(s) in series, according to said sequence (46).
