  • Patent number: 7587250
    Abstract: A controller with configurable connections between data processing components is provided. In one embodiment, the controller includes a number of configurable inputs and outputs that may be used with digital and/or analog signals. The controller includes a data processor with a plurality of data processing components. The inputs and outputs are configurable to the plurality of data processing components and transfer of processed data between the plurality of data processing components is also configurable.

  • Patent number: 7272452
    Abstract: A controller with configurable connections between data processing components that is optimized to provide a particular function such as temperature control is provided. In one embodiment, the controller includes a number of configurable inputs and outputs that may be used with digital and/or analog signals. The controller includes a data processor with a plurality of data processing components including a first and a second loop control function. The inputs and outputs which are configurable to the loop control functions are defined as a set of allowed inputs and outputs for each of the loop control functions. The set of allowed inputs and outputs for the first loop control function is a subset of the set of allowed inputs and outputs for the second loop control function.
