Engineering Research Equipment: Instrumentation for a Vertically Integrated Controls Laboratory

小伯恩斯坦9520447 密歇根大学航空航天工程系将购买一个实时控制处理器和相关的诊断设备，专门用于支持工程研究。 该设备将用于几个研究项目，特别包括：旋转致动器的控制，噪声控制，旋转不平衡控制，燃烧控制和晃动控制。 控制系统技术是许多复杂、高性能系统的一项使能技术。 在许多这些应用中，控制系统是如此重要，以至于系统没有它就无法运行。另一方面，控制系统的故障可能会产生可怕的后果。 生动的例子包括切尔诺贝利灾难和空中客车坠毁。 鉴于控制系统技术的重要性和风险，本提案寻求实时控制处理器和相关设备形式的实验室设备，以使研究人员能够在反馈控制技术方面进行广泛的实验。 这笔拨款将使我们能够升级和扩大我们目前的控制实验室设施。 多通道识别和控制能力将被用来实施和评估多变量控制器的性能。 我们的目标是开发一个垂直集成的控制实验室，在该实验室中，数据从识别实验到控制律合成，最后到实时代码生成，以进行实施和测试。 这种高度集成对于利用和展示各种应用控制技术新开发的能力至关重要。 ***

9520447 Bernstein The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan will purchase a real-time control processor and related diagnostic equipment that will be dedicated to support research in engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including, in particular: control of a rotating actuator, control of noise, control of rotating imbalance, control of combustion, and control os slosh. Control-system technology is an enabling technology for many complex, high performance systems. In many of these applications the control system is so essential that the system simply cannot operate without it. On the other hand, failure of the control system can have dire consequences. Graphic examples include the Chernobyl disaster and Airbus crashes. In view of the importance and risks of control-system technology, this proposal seeks laboratory equipment in the form of a real-time control processor and related equipment to allow researchers to carry out a broad range of experiments in feedback control technology. The equipment to be purchased under this grant will allow us to upgrade and expand our current control laboratory facilities. Multichannel identification and control capabilities will be used to implement and assess the performance of multivariable controllers. Our goal is to develop a vertically integrated control laboratory in which data is passed seamlessly from identification experiments to control law synthesis and,, finally, to real-time code generation for implementation and testing. This high degree of integration will be critical for exploiting and demonstrating the capabilities of new developments in control technology for a variety of applications. ***
