Theoretical Development and Application of Discrete Time Quantized Data Controllers

Abstract

A new approach to feedback control based on a table look-up technique is developed. A grid embedding technique is used which maintains high accuracy with minimal table size. This report describes the use of the new control scheme as a regulator. A cricuit which implements the control scheme is developed. This circuit is simpler, cheaper, faster, and more reliable than circuits developed for comparable controllers using traditional control theory. This report is divided into four major sections. The first section derives the theoretical foundation for the new control techniques. Next, the operation of a computer program which aids in the design of these controllers is decribed. The last two sections develop a controller for the gun elevation system of an M60 tank. Finally, a complete listing and documentation of the computer program used in the desing of the controller are included in the appendices. Keywords: User manuals; DTQD compuer program; DTQD(Discrete Time Quantized Data).
