Advanced Industrial Control Processing: 12 March 2012 Clive (Max) Maxfield

The document discusses different types of computational engines used in advanced industrial control processing, including microprocessors (MPUs), microcontrollers (MCUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), graphical processing units (GPUs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). It provides an overview of each type of computational engine, describing their basic functions and uses in industrial control applications. The document aims to inform engineers about alternative computational options for processing in industrial control systems beyond traditional microprocessors.
