RecommendationsRecommendations

Communication ImprovementsCommunication Improvements The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is using a Microblaze processor core which is running a sample webserver software package for Ethernet communication. This is a very limited server application and should be improved to allow for greater reliability and versatility. Currently the only means for accessing status information through the control module is by using any standard web browser. This can be very useful, though we recommend when improving the server software concurrently creating a host communication program. This program which would run on any PC or even server class machine could communicate with the control unit on a separate port than the web browser. This would allow for faster more data oriented communications, facilitating improved testing and allowing easier and more frequent collection of sub-sea data such as equipment operability status

RecommendationsRecommendations

Redundancy Redundancy The proposed design called for a highly redundant control unit, using three independent logic cores. These were designed, but not implemented due to time constraints. It is recommended to add these logic cores to the FPGA internal hardware. This Tri-Core technology will create greater redundancy and reliability by using the Microblaze processor solely as the communications driver. The design for this architecture can be located in Appendix 2.

RecommendationsRecommendations

Additional PeripheralsAdditional Peripherals This design is highly scalable with over 100 unused I/O pins. These can be used to easily add the LVDT sensors through external A/D converters including redundant circuitry as well as the flow meter’s pulse train input. In addition, one control module could be configured to operate multiple pairs of solenoids by using an additional optocoupler / H-Bridge circuit for each added pair of solenoids. Multiple sensors could also be added to the control module through unused I/O pins.
