What Goes Where
|
|
|
Your PC runs three applications:-
- The Flight Simulation
- Motion Drive 3.0
- FSUIPC
Data from the simulation is passed via FSUIPC to Motion Drive
3.0. It is processed into drive signals for your platform
and sent out via USB #1 module.
The signals for each drive are sent separately from USB #1
to the three DAC modules (#1, #2, #3) which convert them from
digital signal to an analogue control voltage.
Meanwhile control and reverse signals are also being sent
out via USB #2 module to the Intermediate Control Board. The
control signals are passed to each DAC (shown as green connections)
in turn. The DAC needs these signals to tell it to convert
the drive signal received from USB #1.
The resulting analogue control voltage is sent out from each
DAC to the intermediate board where, along with the reversing
signal it is sent out to each Motor Control Board (MCB). The
MCBs then act to control the speed and direction of each of
the drives (Drives A, B & C).
At the same time, the sensors on your platform are switching
in and out as the platform moves. These switching signals
are passed back to your PC via the Intermediate Control Board
and USB #2 for Motion Drive 3.0 to process.

Where it all fits
The products we sell form a key part of the drive control chain
of your motion platform. But where do they fit in? What other parts
and components do you need?
To help with those questions, the diagram below shows how the Motion
Drive 3.0 package, the Digital to Analogue Converter Board and the
Intermediate Control Board fit together to form the drive control
chain.
