Mcr To Srm Converter Direct

Embedded control systems commonly mix legacy motor control components (exposing Motor Control Registers — MCRs) with newer Sensor Readout Modules (SRMs) that expect different signaling, data formats, and timing. A dedicated converter is needed to bridge these differences without redesigning existing components. This work defines the functional requirements for an MCR-to-SRM converter, evaluates design alternatives, and presents a prototype implemented on an FPGA with accompanying firmware.
