Control System Studies
Abstract
Progress is divided into 4 sections covering the following divisions of effort: (1) Advanced Control System Circuit Development, (Test Vehicle No. 2), (2) Circuit Reliability Studies, (3) Digital Control System Circuit Development, and (4) Hot Gas Servo Studies. On Test Vehicle No. 2, the development, testing and present status of the signal processing and power supply circuitry for use in connection with the MIG gyros is described. Also, the results of environmental and life testing of the printed circuit timer- programmer and the status of the welded circuit time-programmer are presented. Under circuit reliability studies, some preliminary results of a study of the application of redundancy to both digital and analog circuits and work on circuit failure analysis using component failure rate data is described. The development of digital control system circuitry is described, specifically that circuitry applicable to a digital autopilot system and certain circuitry developed for use with advanced programmers and function generators. The work in the hot gas servo area consisted of the preparation of test plans and the performance of testing on General Electric's hot gas servo.
