Title: Real-time control sequencer with state matrix logic
IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 1989-05-09
Abstract: A high performance, real-time control sequencer is disclosed which incorporates a unique state matrix logic. This real-time control sequencer performs rapid resolution of control processed state transitions and the required control actions as a function of detected external events and the current control process state. The control sequencer's micro-instructions present event and current state data as inputs to a state matrix logic and initiate state matrix operations. The state matrix, in turn, outputs data defining and initiating the next control process state, required process control actions to be performed by the control sequencer microcode, process status, and event response or control output data. The real-time, event-driven data processor invention provides greater flexibility for reconfiguring event patterns to be detected and responses desired. It provides for a faster resolution of control process state transitions and the required control actions, and it accomplishes this with a larger repertoire of event patterns and responses stored in a smaller memory area, than has been required in the prior art.
