Design and Implementation of an FPGA-Based Self-Repairing AMB controller for Space MSFW
Magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW) serves as actuator in the high precision attitude control of spacecrafts such as satellites.Magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW) for space application requires fault-tolerant and highly adaptive real-time controller. Field programmable gate array (FPGA)
owing to its high reliability and flexibility
offers a flexible platform the development of space applications. This paper use the idea of on-chip hardware and software co-design and presented an FPGA-based digital controller with LEON soft core processor subsystem for active magnetic bearing (AMB) of space MSFW. A prototyping platform is designed to test algorithms and verify system performance. At last
a self-repairing FPGA-based AMB controller is proposed
which in theory can significantly improve system reliability.
