The software structure is also presented, focusing on the communication mechanism between adjacent PEs of the hypercube multiprocessor and communication between the PE and the control computer. Furthermore, the implemented graphic display control and its interface are briefly described from the viewpoint of hardware.

A practical solution is to simulate the braking process in the laboratory mechanically by means of a disc brake dynamometer. The authors describe a control-system design for the dynamometer. The function of the control system is to maintain a constant braking torque for the testing of brake blocks. A constant braking torque is necessary to create a realistic simulation of the true situation. A driver of a motor car continually varies the force exerted on the brake pedal while braking in order to maintain a constant deceleration of his vehicle. In this case, the driver is the controller who subconsciously adjusts the force on the brake pedal to compensate for the natural variations in the value of the friction coefficient of the brake block material. Therefore, by controlling the dynamometer's breaking torque, it is possible to determine the dynamic change in the friction coefficient of the material under test. After describing the control system philosophy and the design criteria, the authors discuss the pressure controller in detail.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":384081,"journal":{"name":"15th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121132153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each block of the UPS system is monitored by two independent microcomputers that process the same data. The microcomputers are part of a redundant distributed monitoring system, being separately interlinked by two serial data buses through which they communicate. They establish a hierarchy among the participating blocks, defining one of the healthy inverter blocks as the master. The actual master runs the central synchronizing unit for the entire system, while the slave units perform the control of equal active and reactive load sharing. Operation and fault detection are experimentally exemplified in a dual inverter system having a rating of 10 kVA of redundant power.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":384081,"journal":{"name":"15th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129713847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate and reliable synchronization signals must therefore be generated despite the significant distortion that can be present in the AC voltage. The authors propose a novel method for obtaining accurate zero-crossing signals, based on the use of switched-capacitor filters. The characteristic frequency of such filters depends on the frequency of an external control signal. Therefore, this frequency can be accurately set and made to track the input frequency variations. The scheme is presented and analyzed, and design criteria are derived. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the method over conventional filtering techniques. The scheme has been used successfully for phase-controlled thyristor converters and transistorized four-quadrant PWM (pulse-width modulated) AC/DC converters.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":384081,"journal":{"name":"15th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"133 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130929645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After defining the PNO model, the authors outline some problems that one can encounter when implementing it. On account of the PNO similarity with rule-based systems, it is shown how translating a PNO specification into an equivalent rule-based program can narrow the gap from a PNO specification to its implementation. However, PSs run quite slowly and it is shown how a rule compilation-based technique can decrease the PNO execution cost by improving the computational efficiency of the rule interpreter at the pattern-matching level. The authors introduce a novel approach for this end in light of specific features provided by the PNO model. They present analysis tools built from this approach, underlining solutions for invariant searching and state graph generation problems. The distributed implementation issue is addressed, and a solution is proposed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":384081,"journal":{"name":"15th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115048079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed PWM strategy allows its implementation on a three-phase semiconverter bridge with only three controlled switches, so as to obtain PWM controlled rectification. Although the circuit operation is explained with force commutated SCR switches, the basic controlled PWM operation is valid for any alternative controlled switches, such as GTO or transistors, which do not require the commutating power components.
