Abstract

A 5 Ton 6 DOF shake table is being indigenously developed in BARC for the seismic qualification of different equipment and structures to be used in nuclear reactors. A Double Actuator Controller with Dual CAN bus Interface (DACCI) has been designed and tested to control two servohydraulic actuators with feedbacks from different sensors on actuators. 5 different parameters are sensed for each actuator. This system is designed to act as a node in the actuator controller network of the 6DOF shake table. This paper describes a Digital Signal Controller (DSC) based hardware design, different sensor interfaces, software and testing of a DACCI on a single DOF shake table.
