Use of a Microprocessor in a Supervisory Control Application.
Abstract
This report describes the solution of a propulsion test control problem by implementing supervisory control with an LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor system. A brief description of the control problem and the test is provided. Primary emphasis is on the specific solution chosen using the microprocessor. The paper discusses programming in the microprocessor, the type of memory used, and how the memory was implemented. The design goals that led to the final configuration are also discussed. The reasons for using the LSI microprocessor are presented, together with its limitations and advantages. Use of a microprocessor in this application reduced hardware costs significantly. Programs were written in the micro processor's assembly language, cross-assembled on another computer, and then burned into programmable read-only memories. Hardware that aided in the programming and debugging is also described.
