TELESCOPE ANALOG CONTROL Martin Frericks, Frans Zwart
TAC functional requirements • Provide active heating for telescope • temperature sensor readout • heater driver, incl. thermal control loop (PID) • no cooling • No additional temperature sensors at mirror assembly to be read out by TAC • Internal analog housekeeping • SpaceWire interface with IDC • DC/DC converter, regulators, current limiters
TAC performance requirements • Nominal telescope temperature ~+20°C) • Temperature stability of telescope ±3°C • Temperature gradient over telescope <5°C 1 control loop sufficient (16 heaters in series/parallel & 1 temp. sensor?) • Needed heating power for telescope: 0-30W (TBC, possibly lower, MPE 10W?) • No SPF
TAC design issues (1/3) • ON/OFF temperature control with varying duty cycle (versus continuous control) Pro: • low power dissipation in TAC components Con’s • EMC • varying load to S/C power bus • Special harness requirements • type of shielding (ON/OFF control) • heat conductance: no issue
TAC design issues (2/3) • In case several thermal control loops for the telescope are desired, their stability, reliability and thus design complexity depend on their independence: • thermal coupling between control loops • influence from and stability of external thermal sources In case of complexity a test on sub-system level may be desired to verify proper working of TAC. • No SPF: warm redundancy? Must be compliant with: • heater(s) and temperature sensor(s) in telescope • S/C power (single power bus?), TAC power switching • IDC
TAC design issues (3/3) • SpaceWire interface with IDC: • chip set and/or IP block for SpaceWire from ISAS/JAXA available? • DC/DC converter • Is there a possibility that ISAS delivers secondary voltages for the TAC (e.g. via the IDC)? • Heating power directly from S/C power bus? (Requirements from S/C power bus w.r.t. reliabililty, no SPF etc.?)
Input from consortium partners • Design and requirements equivalent to eROSITA (e.g. temperature sensors)? • Design analysis, concept and schematics available from MPE? • IDC simulator from ISAS available as UCE for TAC testing? • EEE parts available via ISAS or GSFC?
