Position Regulator Block Diagram
The Ultra1500 uses a fixed frequency (5 kHz) to sample data and perform
computations (i.e., the sample or update rate is 200 µs). A z
-1
block in the
figure indicates a delay of one update period, or 200 µs. This implies that any
signal multiplied by a z
-1
block will use the signal from the previous update in
the calculation for the current update.
