SPS-2840 Micro Digital Controls for Military Applications
Overview
The MDC is a custom 2-axis servo control board suitable for military application.
The DSP-based,single-board processor is supported by 128 KByte Flash and 64 Kbyte RAM memories plus a serial EEPROM and operates at 400 MFLOPS. The card has 4 channels of 16 bit ADC, 4 channels of 16 bit DAC, 32 bits of Digital I/O, and 4 channels of R/D conversion. Communications with the MDC is via 2 Hi-Speed serial RS-422 and 2 Standard serial RS-232/422/485 interfaces. The MDC is designed to add an Ethernet interface daughterboard for Hi-Speed communications.
The MDC is configured as an ATR or 1/2 ATR enclosure or it may be provided as a 5” square package suitable for mounting in the base of a gimbal. Small Micro Series PWM servo amplifiers can also be mounted in the gimbal for a complete turnkey gimbal/control solution whereby the customer need only supply power and communication inputs. Functionality of the MDC is completed with the software including loop closures, compensation filters, mode control, gain control, BITE, and communication protocol.
