VARIABLE RATE DAMPING BASED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR BACKDRIVEN CONTROL INPUT DEVICES

摘要

A control system for a machine having variable rate damping based control (VRDC) is disclosed, and includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors storing data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the control system to receive an inceptor position from one or more active inceptors and calculate an operator command based on at least the inceptor position. The control system is caused to determine an amplitude of the operator command. The control system is caused to determine a variable gain based on the amplitude of the operator command and determines an actuation command based on the variable gain. The control system sends the inline actuators the actuation command. The inline actuators actuate into a total actuator position to variably damp movement of the machine as a function of the magnitude of the operator command.
