Περίληψη: This paper presents the design and implementation of a proposed smart control unit for an automatic clothes washing machine. The controller is intended to provide two main features: high processing speed and high reliability. To achieve these objectives, a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is employed as the core decision-making method. The selection of BPNN is motivated by its capability for accurate decision-making as well as fast training and data processing. Owing to rapid data propagation through its network layers with minimal delay, the proposed controller can operate faster than the microcontrollers commonly used in conventional washing machines. In addition, an optimization procedure is incorporated to improve the accuracy of the output decisions and thus strengthen the reliability of the control process. The proposed BPNN controller is first developed and tested in the MATLAB environment and is then converted into a Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) description for hardware realization. The controller is designed to generate suitable control decisions for the motors and solenoids of the washing machine according to the states of programmable input switches and internal sensors. The software-level test results show a Mean Square Error (MSE) of zero and 100% agreement between the target and actual outputs, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed BPNN model under the tested conditions. Finally, the VHDL design is implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using the ISE Design Suite software package. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
