Damping

Low

 

Normal

 

High

Note: The damping parameter specifies how aggressively the controller performs its autotuning. The “Normal” setting is a compromise between the fast recovery and overshoot. The “Low” setting provides faster recovery, but with the possibil- ity of overshoot; the “High” setting a slower recovery, but with minimum or no overshoot.

Single Setpoint Ramp Time

This selection will cause the controller to ‘ramp’ the process from the starting point (current process value) to the setpoint in the time specified. This ramp will take place at startup when selected from the Ramp/Soak menu. The setpoint must be at least ±0.2% of sensor span for the ramp to be employed.

Multi-Step Ramp

This selection will enable the programming of a recipe (make all ramp/soak recipe variables visible). Recipes can be resumed on startup if interrupted by a power failure or initiated, held, and terminated from the front panel via the Mode Menu or with the logic input option (initiate and held/resumed only).

Holdback Band

Specifies the maximum number of degrees above or below setpoint that the process can be for the segment timer to keep going. The timer will hold while the process settles back into the band and then continue. If this feature is not desired, this param-

eter should be set to which will disable it.

Termination State

This parameter determines what the control will do at the completion of a recipe. Last Setpoint refers to the last temperature specified in the ramp/soak recipe. Default Setpoint refers to the standard setpoint which was in effect prior to recipe initiation.

Recycle Number

Specifies the number of times after the first time that the recipe is run before the program terminates.

16C specifications

Athena Technologies is making waves in the aerospace and defense industries with its latest innovation, the Athena Technologies 16C. This advanced system is designed to provide detailed and accurate guidance, navigation, and control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other applications requiring precise positioning and situational awareness.

At the core of the Athena Technologies 16C is its state-of-the-art inertial navigation system. Utilizing a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and advanced sensor fusion techniques, the 16C achieves exceptional accuracy even in challenging environments where GPS signals may be weak or nonexistent. This capability is crucial for military operations and search-and-rescue missions where precision is paramount.

One of the standout features of the 16C is its integrated multi-sensor environment, which includes not only traditional inertial sensors but also GPS, magnetometers, and barometric altimeters. This robust multi-sensor fusion system leverages cutting-edge algorithms to minimize errors, enhance reliability, and provide continuous position tracking regardless of external conditions. The flexibility of the sensor suite allows for easy integration into various platforms, whether fixed-wing, rotary-wing, or even ground-based vehicles.

Furthermore, Athena Technologies has prioritized ease of use with the 16C. The system comes equipped with intuitive software that simplifies mission planning and vehicle control. Users can easily adjust parameters, visualize data, and receive real-time feedback during operations, enhancing overall mission effectiveness. The user interface is designed to be user-friendly, catering to both experienced operators and newcomers to UAV technology.

Another notable characteristic of the Athena Technologies 16C is its rugged design, built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. This durability makes it suitable for deployment in diverse terrains and climates, ensuring reliable performance under even the most demanding situations. The system is lightweight yet robust, contributing to the overall efficiency and performance of unmanned systems.

Lastly, Athena Technologies emphasizes safety and security with the 16C. Advanced encryption methods safeguard the data transmitted between the system and ground control, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected from potential cyber threats. This commitment to security is crucial for military applications where data integrity is non-negotiable.

In conclusion, the Athena Technologies 16C stands out as a game-changing solution in the fields of guidance, navigation, and control. Its advanced multi-sensor capabilities, user-friendly interface, rugged design, and emphasis on security make it an essential tool for a wide range of applications, from military operations to commercial UAV usage. As technology continues to evolve, the 16C is poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of unmanned systems.
