Combining the inputs to the control computers assures that sensor bias will not cause divergence, while cross-strapping control strings bounds divergent response to all bias error inputs. If the response modes associated with these components are not stable, bias errors can cause the components to diverge, leading to the possibility of “nuisance trips” in failure detection/isolation logic and eventual control system lockup (at saturation). It is found that state components which appear in the parallel signal paths, e.g., individual actuator-commands, are not controllable, although the sum of the command signals is well behaved. N2 - The controllability and steady-state response of parallel-redundant flight control systems are examined.

Received Jrevision received December 14, 1972. Feedback and balancing of the different control valves is provided by the visibility accorded each actuator remote processing unit by the second communication link.T1 - Some effects of bias errors in redundant flight control systems Each of the actuator remote processing units is linked through a second communication link (46). The actuator remote processing unit receive position commands and generate a command signal that controls movement of the actuator (12) using the control valves. Each of the flight controllers forwards the position command to actuator remote processing unit (40,42,44). A first communication link (38) is provided between several flight controllers (32,34,36) to share information. A flight controller (32,34,36) generates a position command that is indicative of the position desired for the control surface. Each stage (16,18) includes several control valves (20,22,24,26,28,30) that are controlled independently to provide a desired redundancy.
