  • FIGURE 4 The logical circuits by means of Iwhich this result can be obtained are illustrated in FIGURE 4. They comprise two logical OR circuits and four logical AND circuits comprising diodes of known type. A11, A1, A2 represent amplifiers receiving at their inputs the pulses supplied at the times to, t1, t2 respectively. BB1 is a bistable flip-flop whose inputs are connected to the outputs of A0, A1. The binary signals set up at the outputs of the said flip-flop will be denoted by a and respectively.

  • the bistable ip-op BBZ2 receives at its input 0 the signal c and at its input 1 the signal ac.
  • c and c(a ⁇ b) represent l.
  • the effect of the signal 1 at the zero input terminals is to apply the zero signal to the output terminals 0 of the two flip-flops. Therefore, no retarding action is exerted on the motors, and this is appropriate for maintaining a correct position.
  • '-I- b represents the binary digit l, which is set up at the output 0 of BBZ1, which results in a reduction of the speed of the first motor, while since c is equal to 1, no acti-on is exerted on the second motor.
  • the principle applied is as follows: At the starting of the motors, the motor associated with the switch I is fed with full power, while the second motor is not fed.
  • the 164 positions of the switch are characterised by voltages varying linearly from the position 1 to the position 164.
  • the arm of the switch II is then stationary and indicates a fixed constant voltage corresponding to its position.
  • the arm of the switch I indicates a stepped voltage. At the instant when these voltages are equal, the switch II i-s set in operation by a comparing device.
  • the precise adjustment device is placed in circuit only about l second after the starting of the second motor so as to enable the latter to reach its full speed.
  • the pulses employed for bringing the arms of the switches into phase are obtained by the travel of a magnetic arm, conforming to the position of the cam-operated mechanism past magnetic heads disposed in the positions marked T and T1 in FIGURE 31 in the case of the first switch, and in the position marked J2 in FIGURE 32 in the case of the second switch.
  • the motors are of the synchronized asynchronous type. Having ample dimensions, these motors remain in step once the synchronization has been effected.
  • the slip of the motor which is to be slowed down is effected by reducing its feed current by the insertion of a set of resistances in series in each phase, which produces the out-of-step condition.
  • the outputs of the flip-flops BBZ1, BBZ2 are connected to the windings of two relays which control switches which effect the series connection of resistances in the feed wires of the motors associated with the switches 1 and 2 respectively.
  • FIGURE 5 shows the two networks of 163 identical resistances R -supplying analogue voltages giving the information regarding the positions of the two switches. These two networks are fed by a common source (of 24 volts in the example given) and the same current flows therethrough.
  • Resistances r1 and r2 are connected to the two networks on the side of the 24-volt terminal, bringing to about 8 volts the voltage difference across the terminals of the networks, while a resistance R/2 is disposed between the terminal 0 and the input of the second network.
  • the voltage difference between two successive positions is %63 volts at the two networks, but owing to the additional resistance R/ 2 the corresponding voltage levels in the two switches are staggered by a half-step (upwards at the second).
  • FIGURE 6 shows at 6a the stepped signals obtained in the case of switches having only four positions in the case of the ideal staggering of the arms.
  • FIGURE 8 av differential amplifier AD (FIGURE 8), the voltage curve at the output of which is that illustrated in FIGURE 6b, which comprises ZOO-millisecond crenulations at regular intervals except at the instant of the return to zero of the analogue voltages which corresponds to a void.
  • FIGURE 8 illustrates the whole apparatus according to the invention in its preferred form.
  • MC1, MC2 represent the two switching motor sets.
  • the first motor is fed by the poles 1, 2, 3 from a threephase voltage source at its terminals 11, 12, 13.
  • the second motor is fed at 31, 32, 33 at the downstream terminals of a general contactor S1.
  • the terminals of the assembly MC1 at which there are set up at the times to and t1 the pulses utilised in the pre- 6 cise adjustment are designated 4 and 5, 6 is the terminal of MC2 at which the pulse is supplied at the time t2, and 7 and 8 are the terminals of MC1 and MC2 at which the analogue voltages giving the position information are set up.
  • the fine adjustment device illustrated in FIGURE 4 is designated 9, of which the outputs 10 and 20 are the output terminals 0 of the ip-fiops BBZ1, BBZ2, which are connected to the negative pole of the feed battery through the windings of relays 14 and 24 which, when their contacts are in the operating position, place the windings of speed reducing contactors 15 and 25 respectively on open circuit between 32 and 33, thus bringing about the insertion of speed reducing resistances 16 and 26 connected to the contact terminals of the contactors 15 and 25 respectively.
  • the terminals 7 and 8 of the motor-switches MC1 and MC2 are connected respectively to the input terminals 7 and 8 of a differential amplifier AD.
  • the crenulated curve 6b represents a discontinuity
  • a pulse is set up at the output 29 of the differential amplifier AD, which pulse, applied to the input 1 of the flip-fiop BB2, changes its state if it is positive (FIGURE 6) and produces the return of the contact of the relay 30 to the inoperative position.
  • the control circuit of the contactor S2 is then closed and remains self-energized, and the second switch motor MC2 is started.
  • this circuit may delay the bringing of the motors to their normal speed, and a resistance-capacitance delay device is therefore provided, which has a time constant of about 1 second.
  • the correct synchronization of the switch motors MC1, MC2 is indicated by the extinction of a red pilot light R and the ignition of a green pilot light V.
  • a bistable ffip-fiop BB3 receives at its input terminal 1 the pulses (t2) about every 800 milliseconds, while its input terminal 0 is connected to the output 29 of the differential amplifier AD.
  • the output 0 of the flip-flop BB3 is connected to the negative feed pole through a delay device 35 and a relay winding 36 whose contact feeds in its inoperative position a green pilot light V and in its operative position a red pilot light R.
  • a positive pulse (t2) applied to the input 1 of the flipflop BB3 has the effect of causing a voltage in the neighbourhood of zero to be set up at the output 0 of BB3, which results in feeding of the winding 36 and causes ig nition of the red pilot light R, while a positive pulse applied to the input 0, coming from 29, changes the state of the flip-flop BB3, and causes a negative voltage to be set up at the output 0 of BB3 and consequently the release of the relay 36 and the ignition of the green pilot light V.
  • the pulse (t2) occurs at the instant when the rapidly operating mechanism of the second switch commences to operate. Therefore, t2 precedes the change of position of the second switch by a period which may vary from 5 to 25 milliseconds depending upon the accuracy of the mechanism.
  • the pulse (t2) is therefore always succeeded by a pulse emanating from the output of the amplier AD at a time interval not exceeding 25 milliseconds (FIG- URE 6d)
  • the delay device 35 prevents the response of the relay 36 during this interval, so that the green pilot light remains continuously alight.
  • the positive pulses at the input of BB3 are set up only once per period of the switches, which period is equal to 65.6 seconds in the case of 164 positions, and it will be seen (FIGURE 7d) that the state of the flip-dop will generally be fixed by the pulses (t2), the positive pulses at the output AD being capable of producing the ignition of the green pilot light only for a period obviously shorter than 800 milliseconds.
  • the contacts 37 and 38 supplied by the speed reducing contactors and 25 during the precise adjustment determine the ignition of an orange pilot light OR, which thus indicates the adjustment periods.
