AB  - The existing Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based on microprocessors (mup) or 
      micro-controllers (muc) are commonly used in the industry for various 
      instrumentation and control applications. PLC exhibits limitations such as less 
      flexibility, poor scanning time, slower speed, and degraded response for 
      high-speed industrial applications due to its fixed hardware and serial execution 
      mechanism. A new Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based PLC multi-channel 
      High Speed Counter (HSC) module has been proposed, enhancing performance and 
      flexibility compared to the existing PLC-HSC module. The proposed FPGA-PLC-HSC 
      module has a 2-phase 2-Input counter with resolutions of 1X, 2X, and 4X which 
      improve performance in terms of accuracy for position speed, and direction 
      measurement applications. The FPGA-PLC-HSC module is implemented with the 
      feedback node method and the shift register method inside LabVIEW FPGA along with 
      device utilization. The simulation results show that the FPGA-PLC-HSC module has 
      faster scanning time, good linearity, better resolution, maximum supporting input 
      frequency, and counting frequency. For experimental purposes, an optical encoder 
      M110960 (E8P-512-118-S-D-M-B) with a signal conditioning circuit is connected to 
      the NI-myRIO-1900 FPGA platform. The experimental results point out that the 
      proposed FPGA-PLC-HSC module offers faster scanning time, better accuracy and 
      linearity in 1X, 2X, and 4X resolution.
