FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DIGITAL-ANALOG SERVO SYSTEM.
Abstract
The digital-analog servo system (DASS) accepts digital position data from shaft-angle encoders on a launcher as well as digital target-position and velocity data from a general-purpose digital computer. The computer position information is updated and compared with the encoderposition readout to obtain an error signal; errors in bearing and elevation are then translated to analog signals and sent to the launcher drive elements to correct the launcher aimpoint. This report, which documents the design of the system and its operation, can also be used as a trouble-shooting guide. (Author)
