Digital Servocontroller System. Volume 1. Operations Manual.

Abstract

This final report describes an exploratory development effort for the design and fabrication of a digital servocontroller system for load control in full-scale air-frame fatigue tests. Each digital controller replaces four analog controllers. The LSI-11/23 microcomputer in the digital controller executes a PI algorithm to implement direct digital control. It may operate in a stand-alone mode or as a slave processor to a master computer via fiber optic link. Other programmable features specifying loop parameters, building load profiles, adjusting control system gains and monitoring alarm and abort conditions. Additional keywords: loads(forces); instructions; menu; computer operators; display systems.
