10. LBT SW workshop. Tucson, 2-6 Oct 2006 A. Riccardi - The LBT AdsSec units10 Control electronics as WF Reconstructor Real-time reconstructor on-board: –W slopes modal reconstruction and filtering in <50us: m t =A 0 s t +…+A n s t-n -B 1  t-1 …B m  t-m Moreover: –Mode to actuator command computation: c=Mm –Actuator force computation –Actual position and force at steady state for each command step (mean and rms value) All above data are stored at 1kHz in circular buffers in the internal memory for diagnostics (1.8min before wrap- around of buffers) AOSupervisor downloads the stored diagnostic data with decimation (~100Hz) to check behavior of AO loop and dangerous status of shell

11. LBT SW workshop. Tucson, 2-6 Oct 2006 A. Riccardi - The LBT AdsSec units11 Diagnostics in seeing limited mode In fixed (seeing limited) mode or when the loop is temporary opened a zero delta command is internally generated and triggered in order to keep the diagnostics running

12. LBT SW workshop. Tucson, 2-6 Oct 2006 A. Riccardi - The LBT AdsSec units12 Safety of the shall Hardware protection (<1ms response time) –Coils switched off when global power of actuator current driver goes beyond a user defined threshold Software protection (1kHz) at firmware level. WFS slope vector is not applied when (notified to AOSupervisor): –Modes or delta_modes exceed a user defined threshold –Same for actuator commands and delta_commands –Same for actuator forces Software protection (5-10Hz). Coil switched off(?) when: –Max tensile stress is beyond a user define threshold (computed from FEA model) Shall is fragile! Needs diagnostics continuously run

13. LBT SW workshop. Tucson, 2-6 Oct 2006 A. Riccardi - The LBT AdsSec units13 Accelerometers issue Accelerometer signals are sampled by AdSec control electronics and TT is computed (~500Hz) Accelerometers have been designed for AdSec internal use. No full rate signal exportation (telemetry?) is currently possible. Decimation? Only spectral features? TBD TT signal from accelerometers is used as open-loop command for the tilt shell (added to optical tip-tilt WFS signal) As usual, Open Loop signals are affected by severe calibration issues. The level of effectiveness of the correction has not been tested yet.
