The article presents an example implementation of a state machine (digital automaton) using the software tool for PSoC processors from the companyCypress – PSoC Express. Logic blocks of the program are included along with comments. The development of automation systems requires the use of new microprocessor solutions, input/output systems, and communication systems. In the process of designing digital control systems, besides using formal specification models, it is very important to specify the target implementation platform: hardware, software, or hardware-software. The advantages and disadvantages of hardware and software implementations are considered based on two basic criteria:
– reaction time – faster hardware solution, – implementation costs – generally lower for software solutions, due to the lower price of both the chips themselves and the tools supporting the design process. (…)
