DSK

3 Channels, 0.5 VA @ 28 Vrms

Synchros are transformer-type voltage/current transducers that convert a shaft or other rotating device's angular position and/or velocity to a multi-wire AC electrical signal. Both deliver signals proportional to the Sine and/or Cosine of the shaft angle. A Digital-to-Synchro simulator is used to convert digital angle/velocity commands to corresponding Synchro/Resolver AC signals.

A wide variety of D/S modules are available to cover the range of excitation voltages/frequency, include extensive field-parameter programmability, and provide a full operating envelope choice for simulating virtually any type Synchro. By eliminating the need for external transformers and operating with lower AC reference frequencies, these solid-state designs offer huge space savings.

All D/S modules feature a wrap-around self-test capability and most platforms support an optional, programmable AC excitation supply. In addition to state-of-the-art technologies and design algorithms, the modules include many other useful application features such as reference voltage and frequency measurement, reference loss detection, and paired channel, two-speed operation.

There are three types of D/S and D/R Modules.
