FPGA Implementation of IEC-61131-3-Based Hardware Aided Counters for PLC

The article discusses counters defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard. The possible implementations of standard counters function blocks in FPGAs are presented. First, counters are implemented as classical hardware-based modules. Second, counters are designed as the FPGA built-in memory blocks with a s...
