The Evaluation of a Digital Hardware Voter/Monitor in an Aircraft Control System.

Abstract

This report describes an evaluation and presents the test results of a Digital Hardware Voter/Monitor used as an input signal selector and fault detector when used in conjunction with an electro-hydraulic control system. The DHVM operated as intended by design although asynchronous operation caused the failure detection to be frequency dependent. A digital filter could be incorporated to reduce the frequency dependency of the failure detection circuitry. (Author)
