Abstract :
This paper describes an approach to the design of virtual control circuits on Xilinx XC6200 dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs. Virtual capability allows the same hardware to be used to implement different parts of a control algorithm. The specification method adopted is based on Hierarchical Graph-Schemes. The circuit implementation model uses Hierarchical Finite State Machines, which support top-down decomposition of the control algorithms
