DAC

The DAC or D-to-A converter converts a 16-bit number to an analog voltage. The input range of the numbers is 65536 and the output voltage range is +/-10V or 20V. Therefore, the effective gain of the DAC is

K= 20/65536 = 0.0003

[V/count]

Digital Filter

The digital filter has three elements in series: PID, low-pass and a notch filter. The transfer function of the filter. The transfer function of the filter elements are:

PID

D(z) =

K(Z A)

+

CZ

Z

Z − 1

 

Low-pass

L(z) =

 

1 − B

Z B

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Z z)(Z

 

)

Notch

N(z) =

z

 

(Z p)(Z

 

)

 

p

The filter parameters, K, A, C and B are selected by the instructions KP, KD, KI and PL, respectively. The relationship between the filter coefficients and the instructions are:

K = (KP + KD) 4

A = KD/(KP + KD)

C = KI/2

B = PL

The PID and low-pass elements are equivalent to the continuous transfer function G(s). G(s) = (P + sD + I/s) ∗ a/(S+a)

P = 4KP

D = 4T KD I = KI/2T

a = 1/T ln (1/B) where T is the sampling period.
