METHOD OF GENERATING CONTROL SIGNAL IN RELAY SYSTEMS WITH DEAD ZONE AND CONTINUOUS CONTROL ZONE AND RELAY REGULATOR FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G05B11/26 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method of generating a control signal is based on measuring and picking up an input signal U(t_k), forming a given pause (τ_p)_i(i=1, 2…) and a given duration (τ_d)_i of the relay control signal in accordance with the value of the measured input signal (Ut_k), forming a given pause (τ_p)_i in the dead zone, and given duration (τ_d)_i in the continuous control zone, where the value (τ_d)_i is greater than a certain given value τ_m, restricting the real time signal forming the duration (τ_d)_i and the pause (τ_p)_i on the level of τ_m. The relay regulator has an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), memory, a digital comparator, a pulse generator, a pulse counter, a flip flop, a multiplexer and an AND element. Owing to use of the AND element, which enables restriction of pulse counting at the given level, given durations and pauses of the control signal are formed. The relay regulator can be used in various control systems, particularly in spacecraft control systems.

EFFECT: broader functionalities owing to provision for a given law of generating a control signal in the dead zone and in the continuous control zone.
