METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITION ADJUSTMENT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G05B13/00 

FIELD: engineering of systems for automatic positioning of drives, in particular, can be utilized for controlling drives of radio-location stations.

SUBSTANCE: to achieve result, drive position error signal is determined on basis of difference of drive speed and target point speed, to determine which parameters of automatic drive position adjustment system are utilized and also position, speed and acceleration of object and tracking point. Object is controlled by three coordinates in polar coordinates system. In process of generation of controlling effects for each coordinate in asynchronous mode target coordinates input is performed from radiolocation station into computer. Then on basis of utilization of sliding aperture method, smoothed out coordinates are determined and speeds of target movement. After that target coordinates are extrapolated for current time moment, which are transformed to polar coordinates system. Then in synchronous mode from radiolocation station to computer coordinates about current position of object are inputted. On basis of difference between calculated and current tracking speeds, values of error signals of radiolocation station alignment are determined, which are sent to inputs of azimuth drives, position angle and distance to system for automatic adjustment of radiolocation station drive position with given time interval.

EFFECT: improved adjustment precision.
