Software for triggering measuring units and for the operation of a multi-processor control system

Triggering of measuring units and operation of a multi-processor control system for hydraulic drives within the framework of EFA-development for MBB (Jäger 90).

Up to 12 independent control circuits with a cycle period of 1 ms can be activated by the operator.

Development and programming of various software components.

PC software for the operation of a digital precision multimeter and a function generator: The units are entirely adjustable by software. They contain configurations which can be memorized. In addition, the software includes the capture of measuring data for the multimeter. The communication between the PC and the units is effected by the IEEE bus.

PC software for the production of set value profiles to control hydraulic drives. Entry in tables and later interpolation for the calculation of 4096 set values; graphic illustration of the interpolation for expertise and control; transmission between PC and control CPUs of the VMEbus systems.

Software for the control CPUs (68030) for the administration and operation of various control alternatives in the field of the multi-processor at the VMEbus; driver for the hardware for the capture of measuring data.

Software for PC and 68030 for process control: Based on a step-by-step oriented textual process description, a programme generator produces code sequences which include the control of the test procedure and which run on the PC as well as on the VMEbus system.

Commissioning of the systems (similar in construction) Bench-Controller, Landing-Gear-Controller and Flight-Control-System; training of the operating staff of MBB.
