Prototypes of embedded and industrial systems
From idea to working sample: I develop measurement, control and signal-processing systems on PLCs, FPGAs, SoCs and microcontrollers – including schematic and printed circuit board.
What it is about
Some tasks cannot be solved with standard components: a measurement that has to react within microseconds, a controller for a special process, or an assembly that is no longer available. A prototype proves the function early and under real conditions.
My strength lies at the interface between hardware and installation: I know which signals a power installation provides and develop the electronics that capture and process them reliably.
Scope
- Requirements analysis and system architecture, including the split between FPGA logic and processor
- FPGA design in VHDL with simulation and verification
- SoC platforms such as PYNQ/Zynq with software integration
- Firmware for microcontrollers and IoT devices
- PLC programming for control tasks
- Schematic and PCB layout
- Commissioning and testing of the sample
Result
You receive a working prototype with source code, schematic, layout data and documentation – as the basis for series development or, once conformity requirements (e.g. CE marking) have been addressed, for use in your installation.
Typical situations
- Proof of concept for a new measurement or control function
- Real-time signal processing that a processor alone cannot handle
- Replacement of discontinued or unavailable electronics
