1、 1 1、外文原文（复印件）A:Fundamentals of Single-chip Microcomputer The single-chip microcomputer is the culmination of both the development of the digital computer and the integrated circuit arguably the tow most significant inventions of the 20th century 1.These tow types of architecture are found in single

2、-chip microcomputer.Some employ the split program/data memory of the Harvard architecture,shown in-5A,others follow the philosophy,widely adapted for general-purpose computers and microprocessors,of making no logical distinction between program and data memory as in the Princeton architecture,shown

3、in-5A.In general terms a single-chip microcomputer is characterized by the incorporation of all the units of a computer into a single device,as shown in Fig3-5A-3.-5A-1 A Harvard type Program memory Data memory CPU Input&Output unit 2 -5A.A conventional Princeton computer Reset Interrupts Power Fig3

4、-5A-3.Principal features of a microcomputer memory CPU Input&Output unit External Timing components System clock Timer/Counter Serial I/O Prarallel RAM ROM CPU 3 Read only memory(ROM).ROM is usually for the permanent,non-volatile storage of an applications program.Many microcomputers and microcontro

5、llers are intended for high-volume applications and hence the economical manufacture of the devices requires that the contents of the program memory be committed permanently during the manufacture of chips.Clearly,this implies a rigorous approach to ROM code development since changes cannot be made

6、after manufacture.This development process may involve emulation using a sophisticated development system with a hardware emulation capability as well as the use of powerful software tools.Some manufacturers provide additional ROM options by including in their range devices with(or intended for use

7、with)user programmable memory.The simplest of these is usually device which can operate in a microprocessor mode by using some of the input/output lines as an address and data bus for accessing external memory.This type of device can behave functionally as the single chip microcomputer from which it

8、 is derived albeit with restricted I/O and a modified external circuit.The use of these ROMless devices is common even in production circuits where the volume does not justify the development costs of custom on-chip ROM2;there can still be a significant saving in I/O and other chips compared to a co

9、nventional microprocessor based circuit.More exact replacement for ROM devices can be obtained in the form of variants with piggy-back EPROM(Erasable programmable ROM)sockets or devices with EPROM instead of ROM。These devices are naturally more expensive than equivalent ROM device,but do provide com

10、plete circuit equivalents.EPROM based devices are also extremely attractive for low-volume applications where they provide the 4 advantages of a single-chip device,in terms of on-chip I/O,etc.,with the convenience of flexible user programmability.Random access memory(RAM).RAM is for the storage of w

11、orking variables and data used during program execution.The size of this memory varies with device type but it has the same characteristic width(4,8,16 bits etc.)as the processor,Special function registers,such as stack pointer or timer register are often logically incorporated into the RAM area.It

12、is also common in Harard type microcomputers to treat the RAM area as a collection of register;it is unnecessary to make distinction between RAM and processor register as is done in the case of a microprocessor system since RAM and registers are not usually physically separated in a microcomputer.Ce

13、ntral processing unit(CPU).The CPU is much like that of any microprocessor.Many applications of microcomputers and microcontrollers involve the handling of binary-coded decimal(BCD)data(for numerical displays,for example),hence it is common to find that the CPU is well adapted to handling this type

14、of data.It is also common to find good facilities for testing,setting and resetting individual bits of memory or I/O since many controller applications involve the turning on and off of single output lines or the reading the single line.These lines are readily interfaced to two-state devices such as

15、 switches,thermostats,solid-state relays,valves,motor,etc.Parallel input/output.Parallel input and output schemes vary somewhat in different microcomputer;in most a mechanism is 5 provided to at least allow some flexibility of choosing which pins are outputs and which are inputs.This may apply to al

16、l or some of the ports.Some I/O lines are suitable for direct interfacing to,for example,fluorescent displays,or can provide sufficient current to make interfacing other components straightforward.Some devices allow an I/O port to be configured as a system bus to allow off-chip memory and I/O expans

17、ion.This facility is potentially useful as a product range develops,since successive enhancements may become too big for on-chip memory and it is undesirable not to build on the existing software base.Serial input/output.Serial communication with terminal devices is common means of providing a link

18、using a small number of lines.This sort of communication can also be exploited for interfacing special function chips or linking several microcomputers together.Both the common asynchronous synchronous communication schemes require protocols that provide framing(start and stop)information.This can b

19、e implemented as a hardware facility or U(S)ART(Universal(synchronous)asynchronous receiver/transmitter)relieving the processor(and the applications programmer)of this low-level,time-consuming,detail.t is merely necessary to selected a baud-rate and possibly other options(number of stop bits,parity,

20、etc.)and load(or read from)the serial transmitter(or receiver)buffer.Serialization of the data in the appropriate format is then handled by the hardware circuit.Timing/counter facilities.Many application of single-chip microcomputers require accurate evaluation of elapsed real 6 time.This can be det

21、ermined by careful assessment of the execution time of each branch in a program but this rapidly becomes inefficient for all but simplest programs.The preferred approach is to use timer circuit that can independently count precise time increments and generate an interrupt after a preset time has ela

22、psed.This type of timer is usually arranged to be reloadable with the required count.The timer then decrements this value producing an interrupt or setting a flag when the counter reaches zero.Better timers then have the ability to automatically reload the initial count value.This relieves the progr

23、ammer of the responsibility of reloading the counter and assessing elapsed time before the timer restarted,which otherwise wound be necessary if continuous precisely timed interrupts were required(as in a clock,for example).Sometimes associated with timer is an event counter.With this facility there

24、 is usually a special input pin,that can drive the counter directly.Timing components.The clock circuitry of most microcomputers requires only simple timing components.If maximum performance is required,a crystal must be used to ensure the maximum clock frequency is approached but not exceeded.Many

25、clock circuits also work with a resistor and capacitor as low-cost timing components or can be driven from an external source.This latter arrangement is useful is external synchronization of the microcomputer is required.WORDS AND TERMS culmination n.顶点 spilt adj.分离的 7 volatile n.易变的 commit v.保证 alb

27、 job and new languages,and are forced to compete against a growing array of control products.For this years annual PLC technology update,we queried PLC makers on these topics and more.Programming languages Higher level PLC programming languages have been around for some time,but lately their popular

28、ity has mushrooming.As Raymond Leveille,vice president&general manager,Siemens Energy&Automation.inc;Programmable controls are being used for more and more sophisticated operations,languages other than ladder logic become more practical,efficient,and powerful.For example,its very difficult to write

29、a trigonometric function using ladder logic.Languages gaining acceptance include Boolean,control system flowcharting,and such function chart languages as Graphcet and its variation.And theres increasing interest in languages like C and BASIC.8 PLCs in process control Thus far,PLCs have not been used

30、 extensively for continuous process control.Will this continue The feeling that Ive gotten,says Ken Jannotta,manger,product planning,series One and Series Six product,at GE Fanuc North America,is that PLCs will be used in the process industry but not necessarily for process control.Several vendors-o

31、bviously betting that the opposite will happen-have introduced PLCs optimized for process application.Rich Ryan,manger,commercial marketing,Allen-bradley Programmable Controls Div.,cites PLCss increasing use such industries as food,chemicals,and petroleum.Ryan feels there are two types of applicatio

32、ns in which theyre appropriate.one,he says,is where the size of the process control system thats being automated doesnt justify DCSdistributed control system.With the starting price tags of chose products being relatively high,a programmable controller makes sense for small,low loop count applicatio

33、n.The second is where you have to integrate the loop closely with the sequential logical.Batch controllers are prime example,where the sequence and maintaining the process variable are intertwined so closely that the benefits of having a programmable controller to do the sequential logical outweighs

34、 some of the disadvantages of not having a distributed control system.Bill Barkovitz,president of Triconex,predicts that all future controllers that come out in the process control system business will embrace a lot of more PLC technology and a lot more PLC functionality than they ever did before.9

35、Communications and MAP Communications are vital to an individual automation cell and to be automated factory as a whole.Weve heard a lot about MAP in the last few years,and a lot of companies have jumped on the bandwagon.2Many,however,were disappointed when a fully-defined and completed MAP specific

36、ation didnt appear immediately.Says Larry Komarek:Right now,MAP is still a moving target for the manufacturers,a specification that is not final.Presently,for example.people are introducing products to meet the .products will be obsolete when the new standard for is introduced.Because of this,many P

37、LC vendors are holding off on full MAP implementations.Omron,for example,has an ongoing MAP-compatibility program;3but Frank Newburn,vice president of Omrons Industrial Division,reports that because of the lack of a firm definition,Omrons PLCs dont yet talk to MAP.Since its unlikely that an individu

38、al PLC would talk to broad MAP anyway,makers are concentrating on proprietary networks.According to Sal Provanzano,users fear that if they do get on board and vendors withdraw from MAP,theyll be the ones left holding a communications structure thats not supported.Universal I/O While there are concer

39、ns about the lack of compatible communications between PLCs from different vendors,the connection at the other end-the I/O-is even more fragmented.With rare exceptions,I/O is still proprietary.Yet there are those who feel that I/O will eventually become more universal.GE Fanuc is hoping 10 to do tha

40、t with its Genius smart I/O line.The independent I/O makers are pulling in the same direction.Many say that I/O is such a high-value item that PLC makers will always want to keep it proprietary.As Ken Jannotta,says:The I/O is going to be a disproportionate amount of the hardware sale.Certainly each

41、PLC vendor is going to try to protect that.For that reason,he says,PLC makers wont begin selling universal I/O system from other vendor.if we start selling that kind of product,says jannotta,what do we manufacture With more intelligent I/O appearing,Sal Provanzano feels this will lead to more differ

42、entiation among I/O from different makers.Where the I/O becomes extremely intelligent and becomes part of the system,he says,it really is hard to define which is the I/O and which is CPU.It really CPU,if you will,is equally integrated into the system as the I/O.Connecting PLC I/O to PCs While differ

43、ent PLCs probably will continue to use proprietary I/O,several vendors make it possible to connect5 their I/O to IBM PC-compatible equipment.Alle-bradeley,Could,and Cincinnati Milacron already have,and rumor has it that GE is planning something along these same lines.4Bill Ketelhut,manage of product

44、 planning at GE Fanuc North America,sees this sort of thing as alternative to universal I/O.I think the trend,instead of toward universal I/O,will be multiple host interface,he says.Jodie Glore,director of marking,Square D Automation Products,Views it as another indication that PLCs are,and have bee

45、n for some time,industrial computers.11 PLCs VS PCs If the IBM 7552,the Action Instruments BC22,and other computers are appearing on the factory floor,wont this mean new competition for PLCs Rich Ryan:There are some control functions that are better jobs for computers.Programmable controllers have b

46、een forced to fit into those applications.Yet,the majority of vendors we surveyed dont like the PC invasion will pose a problem for them.Most said that PLCs and PCs are enough apart in architecture that they will usually do the control.They dont feel that PCs will take jobs from PLCs just because PL

47、C I/O modules can now be connected to PCs;they believe this simply means that PLCs and PCs will be able to share the same data.There are inherent architectural differences between a general purpose computer,says Rich Ryan,and a programmable controller.There are hardware constructs built into almost

48、every manufactures programmable controller today that customize the hardware to run ladder logic and to solve machine code.One fundamental difference he cites is called state of the machine.Ryan:When you shut the machine off,or interrupt the cycle,or you jump to another spot in the cycle,programmabl

49、e controllers inherently remember the state of the machine:what the timers were,what the counters were,what the states of all the latches were.Computers dont inherently do that.WORDS AND TERMS bet v.确信 optimized n.优化程序 corporate adj.共同的 12 mushroom v.迅速发展 trigonometric function 三角函数 vendor n.厂商 tag
