One of the objectives of this project was the design of a digital high speed control system based on reconfigurable System-On-Chip. This system controls the global operation of an industrial thermal printer, including the processing by hardware of the images that is going away to print. These images could be transmitted by a personal computer through different communication channels (USB, series, parallel, etc.) or to be stored in massive storage devices (compact flash).

This project also includes the development of the necessary power system for an industrial high speed thermal printer. These equipments have specific power requirements, reason why it has been necessary to design an electronic system that allows to give 500W of power with integrated power factor control. In addition, the system is making up of the necessary power elements to work with 3 motors controlled by the control system.
