     I 've kept a list of some numbers that i've needed now and again. Here they are, but be forewarned that they may not all be correct...

LIMITS (ch,gr,az)

position limits:

           There is an emergency limit that cuts the power to the drive system. To exit the emergency limit, you must use the limit override key and the pcu to drive the axis out of this limit. These limits are located to guarantee that the equipment does not have a catastrophic failure. In normal operation the emergency limits should never be encountered.

           For each axis there is a prelimit, a vmesoftware limit, and a final limit. At the prelimit the max velocity is decreased to 10% of slew rate (normal max velocity). The vme software  will not command a position beyond the vmesoftware limit (although rate mode will keep driving.) .  At the final limit, the plc will only allow you to drive the axis out of the limit (the power is not cut at the final limit). The prelimit and final limit are both created as an "or" of two inputs:

  1. the plc has  pre and final limit data values set in the plc program.
  2. There are switches positioned as the final limit and prelimit that generate ttl levels that the plc reads. The plc data values are set so that they are reached before the switch limits.
Either set going true will cause the prelimit or final limit to become active. The reason for the two sets of inputs is that the encoder could malfunction and the switch limits would still cause the prelimit/final limit to be reached. 

      The switch limit positions are adjusted by:

  • the emergency limit is the reference
  • the switch final limit is positioned .04 degrees before the emergency limit. This is what is tried for, the actual setting will be a little different
  • the switch pre limit is positioned .04 degrees before the final limit. This is what is tried for, the actual setting will be a little different.
      The plc limits are set so that the plcprelimit is .06 degrees before the plcfinal limit. 
Notes
  • 04feb05: the dome pre/final limit switches were changed from a cam switch to limit switches.
 velocity limits:
        When tracking a source (as opposed to slewing to a position) it is a good idea to limit the velocity to .4 deg/sec (az) .04 deg/sec (dome/ch) so that the control loop has a little extra velocity to apply in case it gets behind.

  • Measured platform motion from pulling on tiedowns:
  • pulling vertically all td 1.74 tdIn/pltfmIn (before 28apr00)
    1.66 tdIn/pltfmIn (28apr00)

  • 1 deg F temp change moves platform .205 inches. changes tension by 4.8 kips.

  • Frequencies of platform:

        To compute the vertical freq of platform:
    f=-kx, solve:ma=-kx-->-w^2cos(wt)+kx=0 with w=sqrt(k/m).
