Neural networks are more commonly used to identify systems for system diagnostics without fully implementing and building the system. The project aims to design and implement the neural network identification system and implement it based on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) by interfacing between MATLAB / Simulink and Xilinx programs. The work was done thanks to God through two methods: the first through the simulation method through the coupling between MATLAB and Xilinx. While the second method was practically done by loading the simulation designs onto the FPGA. Work performance is measured by subtracting the value resulting from the actual system operation of the identification signal system and the simplified system and the difference between the simulation result and practical result. The use of FPGA with system identification in this project gives us a big advantage that simulation results are equal to practical results (difference is zero).
