Requirements • Accurate pedestal response • Achieved • Softcopy of firmware • Provided • Documentation • Provided • Demonstration • Provided
Response Requirements • System characteristics for step input: • Slightly underdamped response • Rise time ≤ 1 second • Percent Overshoot ≤ 10% • Settling time (±2%) ≤ 1.5 seconds • Steady state error ≤ 20%
Comm. Requirements • Update position every 45 ms • Must appear transparent to Open Radar Data Acquisition shelter
Product Description • Pedestal Simulator runs on 68HC11 chip • Simulates DCU and Pedestal • Communicates serially with ORDA
Functional Block Diagram Pedestal Simulator Microprocessor CALC SCIR Serial Port MAIN XMIT ORDA
Key Features • Commands • Step Response • Rate limits • Elevation position limits • Models pedestal response with second-order approximation
Difference Equation where x[n-1] is DESIRED POSITION y[n-2] is OLD POSITION y[n-1] is CURRENT POSITION y[n] is NEW POSITION y[n] = y[n-1] + 0.7634 (y[n-1] – y[n-2]) + 0.037 (x[n-1] – y[n-1]) • Multiplication subroutine built to handle both unsigned and signed multiplication.
