Abstract
In this paper we describe the implementation of an integrated magnetic bearing controller for mechatronic applications. First, a brief overview of the mechatronic application is given. The design process for an FPGA implementation is described and details of the individual modules within the design process are given. The magnetic bearing controller is implemented using a graphical high-level approach. From this implementation a VHDL description is automatically generated, partitioned onto several FPGAs and transferred to a printed circuit board located at the test rig.
