#### Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based digital control system design for motion control. It is intended as a reference for the undergraduate students in science and engineering, professionals, and enthusiastic people who have a basic knowledge in discrete control theory and digital systems using reconfigurable logic. The scope of this chapter includes the analysis, simulation, and implementation of classic control algorithms. The presented topics serve as a foundation for the implementation of more complex systems. An experimental section is provided, which validates the proposed digital design.

Keywords: FPGA, motion-control, PID-control, VHDL, robotics
