1.1.1. RCU with Serial Card (Unit 1 A1)
The RCU host computer is a Linux based standard industrial PC that physically converts to
Ethernet I/O slave modules to control and monitor radar hardware, using the open industrial
standard ModbusTCP for communications. The Radar Control Unit is loaded with Cobra
Software (See Section 3, RCU Cobra Software).
Implementation of command and control of the pedestal is over the Ethernet link from the Radar
Control Unit PC (COBRA Application software) all of the other components in the Control Cabinet
and the Pedestal Unit. The control of the azimuth and elevation servo is directly through an
Ethernet connection to the Servo Controller Assembly.
Position commands route to the Servo Controller from the COBRA software system based on
commands from either the Local Control Interface (LCI) or the remote host operator. A position
command invokes a command interpreter script in COBRA that sends the appropriate command
to the pre-loaded servo control module. The Servo Controller has an extensive standard
command and control set and an extended command set for use with radar servo systems.
