Hydraulic Diagnostic Monitoring System.
Abstract
The purpose of the Hydraulic Diagnostic Monitoring System (HYCOS) is to warn of impending failure of hydraulic system components by onboard sensors continuously monitoring failure-indicating parameters. The monitoring system consists of three basic types of sensors: analog, discrete, and fiber-optic. These sensors feed information to a self-contained, centrally located display panel through interface circuits that are easily accessible to ground maintenance personnel. The panel has circuit and system test capability which detects malfunctions of the display indicators, electronic equipment, and sensor circuits. Task I encompassed the design, development and procurement of hardware, sensors and microprocessors for two diagnostic monitoring systems. Task II installed one system on the F-14 A Hydraulic Simulator for system component reliability demonstrations. The task also covered simulated component failures and diagnostic system reaction.
