Abstract
This article analyzes the implementation process of a fractional-order control system using available toolboxes, software, and hardware. The main objective is to showcase the current state-of-the-art hardware implementation of fractional-order control, comparing its potential to classical counterparts, and emphasizing the benefits of its utilization in industry. The article covers theoretical aspects of fractionalorder calculus and provides an example implementation of a Fractional-order PID controller with a NI MyRIO-1900 measurement board with FPGA module, comparing it with simulations for a given control plant.
