Graphical System Design for Machine Control

The traditional process for designing embedded machine control systems typically involves multiple stages of development, each requiring specialized electronic design automation (EDA) tools, such as state-diagram and flowcharting tools, SPICE circuit simulation, board layout and routing, control design tools, finite element analysis (FEA), C and VHDL languages, multiple target specific compilers, and human-machine interface (HMI) tools. New highly automated graphical system design (GSD) tools and programmable automation controller (PAC) hardware systems can help you streamline the machine control development process.
