INTRODUCTION
The operation of a two speed S/D is essentially the same as a
single speed module, except there are two control transformers
(CT) which generate two error voltages. These two CTs are fed
by a common up-down counter. The counter data is multiplied by
36 for an SDC-361 and 18 for an SDC-362 to generate the fine
speed CT. Assuming an off-null condition as when the system is
initially energized, the crossover detector feeds the coarse (1X)
CT error signal output to the demodulator and error processor.
The converter seeks a null as it would for a single speed S/D. As
null is approached (to within 2.5° nominally) the coarse CT out-
put drops below a preset threshold and the crossover detector
then switches the fine CT error signal (36X for SDC-361, 18X for
SDC-362) into the demodulator and error processor.
Since the counter angle
θ is multiplied by 36X for SDC-361, and
18X for SDC-362, the gradient of the fine speed CT is 36X the
coarse output CT for the SDC-361, and 18X for the coarse out-
put CT for the SDC-362. The servo loop then seeks a finer null,
using the fine speed CT error signal. The converter continues to
use the fine error signal for continuous tracking, and only switch-
es back to the coarse signal when the coarse error exceeds the
crossover threshold. To eliminate false stable nulls at 180°, an
angle offset and stickoff voltage are introduced in the coarse
channel. The ±15 V power supplies can vary over their specified
ranges with no change in the converter specifications except for
a proportional change in the maximum ± tracking rates. When
testing or evaluating the converters, it is advisable to limit the
current to each of the three power supplies. Set each current
limit to 50% greater than the maximum current listed for that sup-
ply in TABLE 1.
