ULV Controller

App Note #020
ULV Controller — Application:
A
large military operation in the development of an Unmanned Land Vehicle needed a rugged, low power, high density controller for the vehicle, as well as a comprehensive and flexible system to handle all of the unit’s I/O. The unit also needed to be very flexible as depending on the end application of the ULV, many different types of sensors and controls would be installed. Finally in order to preserve experience with other vehicles and to ensure fast and robust system operation, the unit must be based upon the Linux operating system. The UEIPAC, Programmable Automation Controller was the perfect solution. It provides the environmental (tested: -40° to +85°C), and physical ruggedness (50 g shock, 5 g vibration) required and allows the installation of up to 6 I/O boards in a single 4” x 4” x 5.8” Cube. It runs a standard Linux operating system and has the ability to be easily configured with a wide variety of analog, digital, counter/timer, quadrature encoder, Serial and GPS interfaces. The software is written on a standard Linux PC (or may be written in a Windows environment under Cygwin) using UEI’s powerful and yet simple UEIDAQ Framework. The Framework provides complete support for all common versions of Linux as well as all popular Windows and Vista programming languages and applications.
