Outline • Project summary • Previous work • Functional description • Block diagrams • Inputs and Outputs • Subsystems • Software flowchart • Hardware configuration • Parts list • Work Schedule • Questions?
Project Summary • Drive a platform load with a linear actuator or a DC motor • Microcontroller based feedback control system • User selects frequency, amplitude, and waveform type • Optional analog input
Previous Work • Linear Actuator • Power electronics calculations • Plant model • System responds with different waveform types • Bidirectional movement of platform loads
Functional Description • Responds to a platform load via feedback system • The mode of operation will be determined by the user via a keypad on the micro-controller. • Sinusoidal • Step • Triangular • Flexibility in selecting desired frequency and amplitude of the platform’s motion
Input Voltage Signal Representing the Desired Platform Motion + - Actuator (Plant) Platform Motion Controller (EMAC Micropac 535) Control Block Diagram
Analog Position Input (Optional) Keypad Input (Desired Platform Motion) A/D Converter Display (Desired user input) EMAC Micropac 535 Micro-Controller Interface Power Electronics Output (Platform Motion) Test Platform FEEDBACK System Block Diagram
START Initialize keypad, LCD module, timers to be utilized, and other interfaces Branch to main program, accept all user inputs from the keypad Process all user inputs to obtain output for the platform, display user inputs and mode of operation on LCD Fetch position feedback signal from the platform to update output control signals sent to the platform. Loop back to main program. END Software Flow Chart
