Introduction. Today, in many fields of science and magnetic encoder, and induction sensors. However, the

technology as devices that provide information about the use of the above types of sensors in angular measurement

current state of the actuators, angle measuring systems are systems should be used taking into account the purpose of

widely used. In most cases, especially for devices and such systems, environmental conditions and requirements

mechanisms that work in extreme conditions, for their accuracy. There is no doubt that today optical

electromechanical sensors (angle sensors) are used, the encoders have become widely used in angular measuring

work of which is aimed at converting angular and positioning systems. However, despite their

displacements into an information signal. widespread use, positioning systems continue to operate

As is known from [1] to determine the angular today, using induction electromechanical transducers as

displacements, there are a large number of types of part of the control system, both in the field of armaments

and military equipment, and in industries. The use of induction electromechanical transducers in the above fields is explained by their ability to operate in difficult operating conditions and unpretentiousness to external conditions [2]. However, along with the positive properties, they also have disadvantages - induction mechanical transducers do not provide high enough accuracy to identify angular displacements. In particular, in tracking systems, positioning systems and automated weapons guidance systems, where such sensors are the main sensors of angular movements. The use of the aforementioned sensors such as optical encoder, electron gyroscope, with the appropriate bit rate, would allow the identification of angular displacements with higher accuracy, the requirements for which, to date, reach tens of angular seconds. However, their use does not meet the above requirements for the operating conditions of such systems. In addition, in the case of modernization of angle measuring systems, which operate on the basis of the use of an induction sensor, by replacing it with modern digital encoder will involve significant financial costs, as well as design changes in the system.

Thus, given the above, there is a need to increase the accuracy of determining the angular displacements using an induction sensor, which is used in existing and advanced angle measuring systems based on the use of special mathematical processing of the information signal of such a sensor.

Analysis of publications. Today, many publications are known, which consider both hardware and software methods and means of determining the angle of rotation of the rotor of the induction sensor, most of which are considered in [3]. The analysis of these publications provides an opportunity to gain knowledge about the existing methods of determining the angular displacements of the induction sensor, as well as to get acquainted with promising areas of future research.

In particular, the use of analog hardware (so-called signal filters), which operate on the basis of the use of R, C elements really do reduce the error of identification of the angle, but with insufficient accuracy. Moreover, its further increase is impossible due to the influence of destabilizing factors, such as temperature, time, frequency, which affect both the parameters of R, C elements and the parameters of the induction angle sensor [4]. Also, digital tools offered by leading electronics manufacturers (e.g. Texas Instruments, Freescale Semiconductor, Analog Devices) have become widespread, as ready-made solutions for processing information signals of the induction converter based on the implementation of simple calculations using modern electronic components in combination with microcontroller technology [5]. Also, in [6], the latest software and hardware method for identifying the angle of rotation of the rotor of the induction sensor, which is based on the use of phase autotuning frequency is proposed. Using the proposed scheme of this software and hardware method, there is no need to demodulate the signal, use a table of quadrants, pulse counters and digital-to-analog converters. However, the error in determining the angles of rotation of the rotor of the sensor when using this method is 0.3 % over the full

range of values 0-360°. Also, such a hardware-software method is based on the proposed scheme, the implementation of which is carried out using simple electronic elements, in particular, resistors, and therefore the ambient temperature factor will affect the accuracy of the identification results.

In [7, 8] methods of converting sensor signals into an angular position based on the application of mathematical calculations using a polynomial of the 3rd order [7], and generating auxiliary sinusoidal signals [8], for the implementation of which semiconductor components and microcontrollers are used are presented. As a result of application of such methods high accuracy of definition of angular positions at high frequency of rotation of a shaft is reached. However, in the above methods, it is proposed to demodulate the sine and cosine signals to determine the angle of rotation, and therefore it is assumed that the sensor shaft must rotate at a given speed required to modulate these signals. Based on the above, the use of such methods is impossible in systems such as stabilization, positioning, or systems using gearless actuators, where the speed of rotation of the sensor shaft is close to zero.

Thus, the goal of the work is the development of special mathematical software for determining the angular displacements of the rotor of the induction sensor based on the determination of orthogonal components from the digital values of the sensor signals using circular discrete convolution. Also in the paper the experimental check of the developed special mathematical tool for induction angle measuring sensors in which the speed of rotation of a rotor is close to zero is carried out.

In this work, an induction sensor - resolver (rotating transformer) is used as an angle sensor. The design of such sensors is typical and consists of two windings placed on the stator in the same magnetic system, but their geometric axes are perpendicular to each other. Similarly, the rotor windings are in the same magnetic system and are mutually perpendicular to each other. A typical way to provide excitation of a rotating transformer is to connect one of its stator windings to the mains, and the other winding is short-circuited or connected to a potentiometer, which is implemented in the method considered in [7].

However, the essence of the implementation of the method proposed by the authors of this work is not to measure the amplitudes of the signal with its subsequent demodulation, but to determine the phase shift between input and output signals, which can be done by connecting both induction windings of the sensor to the power supply of sinusoidal voltages, as shown of (Fig. 1).

Figure 1 shows a diagram of the specified configuration of the windings of the induction sensor - a rotating transformer to determine the phase shift of the output signal depending on the angle of rotation of the rotor of this sensor. The excitation voltage G1, G2, which is equal in amplitude and frequency, but shifted relative to each other by 90°, is applied to the terminals of the excitation winding E1-E3 and E2-E4, respectively, which can be described by the following expressions:

G1 = Ufi = A ■ sin(cC), (1)

G 2 = Ufc = A ■ cos(cC), (2)

where A is the amplitude of the supply voltage of the sensor, c is the angular frequency of the excitation signal, t is the time.

Due to the receipt of symmetrical current supply, in the air gap of the magnetic system of the induction sensor there is a rotating magnetic field, the vector of which has a constant value and rotates uniformly with the supply frequency. Then the signals generated on the terminals Ss1-Ss2 of the winding «sine winding» and on the terminals Cs1-Cs2 of the winding «cosine winding» take the form of a sinusoidal voltage of constant frequency, which are shifted in phase relative to the excitation voltage of the sensor, and the phase shift will be determined by the rotation angle of the induction sensor rotor, because the rotation of the magnetic field vector is carried out at a constant speed, so the maxima of the output signals will correspond to the time of passage of the magnetic field vector through the direction of the axis of the longitudinal winding of the induction sensor rotor. The description of the signals on the terminals Ss1-Ss2 of the winding «sine winding» and on the terminals Cs1-Cs2 of the winding «cosine winding» can be made by the following expressions:

Uss = k ■ A ■ sin(ct + p), (3)

Ucs = k ■ A ■ cos(t + p), (4)

where Uss is the value of the signal at the terminals Ss1-Ss2 of the winding «sine winding», Ucs is the value of the signal at the terminals Cs1-Cs2 of the winding «cosine winding», k is the transformation factor, p is the angle of rotation of the rotor relative to the stator (in other words, p is the angle phase shift of the signal winding relative to the excitation winding).

Determination of the rotation angle of the rotor of the induction sensor relative to the stator is based on the method of determining orthogonal components from arrays of values that contain information about the signals of the sensor using a circular discrete convolution, which can be implemented according to the proposed simplified block diagram (Fig. 2).

In Fig. 2 the following notations are accepted: f Ufc - analog values of signals coming from the excitation winding and described by expressions (1) and (2); Uss, Usc - analog values of signal windings (3), (4); ADC (analog-to-digital converter) - rn-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with NADC bit rate and sampling frequency fade; Udcc , UDCfs , UDCss , UDCc - digital

The result of the calculation in the Digital Phase Detector is the angle pdc which is equal to the angle of the rotor position. Thus, as follows from the description of the operation of the above circuit, to implement the proposed method it is involved to use modern means for converting an analog signal into a digital code, as well as the use of microprocessor technology to perform calculations.

To determine the phase shift of the signal, and hence the angle of rotation of the rotor relative to the stator of the sensor, the values of orthogonal components S and C go to the Digital Phase Detector, which converts the coordinates of the vector into the angular value of the rotor position in real time according to the algorithm shown in Fig. 6.

Experimental verification of the obtained results.

In order to confirm the results of theoretical modeling of the proposed method, an experimental study was conducted using laboratory equipment, the general view of which is shown in Fig. 9.

ADC (Fig. 9) and digital oscilloscope INSTRUSTAR ISDS2062B (Fig. 12,a) were used as a converter of input analog signals into a discrete code in the form of an array of values with the subsequent transfer of these arrays via USB interface to a computer (Fig. 9) performing mathematical processing. The MEGATRON M600 optical encoder is also used in the experimental setup for additional control of the accuracy of worm transmission (Fig. 12,6).

Fig. 9. Experimental equipment for determining angular displacements

The composition of such equipment includes the following components: worm gear (Fig. 10), which is designed to position the exact angles of movement, which consists of a worm wheel (position 1.a in Fig. 10) with 588 teeth and a worm shaft (position 1.b in Fig. 10), connected to an angular scale (Fig. 9), which has 360 divisions. Therefore, the rotation of the worm shaft by 360 divisions of the scale corresponds to the fact that the worm wheel will move by 1.068-10-2 rad. Therefore, moving the worm shaft by one scale division will move the worm wheel by 2.967-10-5 rad.

As an induction sensor (Fig. 9) a rotating transformer VT-5 KF3.031.104 (Fig. 11,a) of accuracy class A, the nominal technical parameters of which correspond to the data of Table 1 was used. Excitation of such a sensor with the required voltage and frequency is carried out using a laboratory two-channel signal generator type G6-26 (Fig. 11,b).

a b

Fig. 12. General view: a - digital oscilloscope INSTRUSTAR ISDS2062B, b - optical encoder MEGATRON M600

The description of functioning of experimental installation can be carried out on the basis of use of its structural scheme (Fig. 13).

On the common axis of the installation the worm gear is assembled - 1 (Fig. 13), in which the worm wheel 1.a placed in a horizontal plane with two ends of the output shaft. One end of the output shaft is connected to the rotor of the optical digital encoder 7, and the other end of the output shaft through the adapter is connected to the rotor of the induction sensor of the angle 3. Thus, by rotating the worm shaft 1.b of the worm gear 1, the worm wheel rotates with the output ends of the shaft, and hence the rotation of the rotor of the digital encoder on one side and the rotation of the rotor of the induction sensor on the other side.

In turn, the induction sensor 3 receives excitation voltages from the signal generator 5, which are applied to both of its stator windings (excitation windings), and these excitation signals are equal in amplitude and

frequency, but shifted from each other by 90°. To represent the signals in digital form, its windings are connected to ADC 4, the role of which in this installation is performed by a digital oscilloscope, which, in turn, is connected to a computer via a USB interface. Also, a digital optical encoder 7 is connected to the computer for power supply and information exchange via the interface RS-232.

To reflect the results of the study, it was taken into account that in expression (20) as N (number of defined angles) 60,000 values was used, the number of which inevitably affects the root mean square error, but to display this number of experimental values is impossible due to their significant number beyond the scope of this paper. Therefore, the display of the results of determining the angles of rotation of the rotor of the induction sensor relative to its stator will be in the range from 0 to 2 k with a step k/4, which reflects the completeness of the range of determining the values of angles by the proposed method. The results of such a study are given in Table 2, and its graphical representation - in Fig. 14.

Fig. 16. Dependence of errors S of the determination of angle P from the angle of rotation of the rotor of the induction sensor p

The results of the obtained values of errors S, which are listed in Table 3, with their subsequent substitution in expression (20), allow to estimate the root mean square error of determining the angles of rotation of the rotor of

the induction sensor relative to its stator. The result of this calculation is 1.913e-4 rad, and thus allows to confirm a sufficiently high precision of the proposed method.

Conclusions.

1. This paper presents special mathematical software for a new method for reducing the error of determining the angular displacements of the rotor of the induction sensor, which is based on determining the angle of phase shift of the signals. This method uses a circular discrete convolution to achieve the most accurate approximation of the obtained signal values to the cosine and sine, respectively. Then the orthogonal components are determined and the phase shift angle in the full range of 0-2 n of angular displacements is determined with the help of a digital detector.

2. The presented results of computer modeling and the results of experimental research are somewhat different, which can be explained by the fact that during the experimental study an analog-to-digital converter of lower bit size than in the mathematical model is used. However, the obtained results of computer simulation taking into account the high level of signal noise and the results of experimental research allow to confirm the high precision of this method and the fact that it can be used in systems where high positioning accuracy is required and the sensor shaft speed is close to zero. .

3. The authors propose software and hardware to solve this problem, and its implementation can be carried out on the basis of the use of commercial analog-to-digital converters and inexpensive microprocessors. However, the parameters of such electronic components will influence on the accuracy and speed of determining the angles of movement of the rotor of the induction sensor by the proposed method, and therefore it involves developing a methodology for choosing hardware and its impact on the accuracy and speed of the angle measurement process which may be the next development of research in this field.
