Pitch actuator sensors

The Pitch actuator sensor  can be added by clicking on the sensor icon on the Pitch actuator  part, as shown in the picture below




The Pitch actuator  sensor will only give an output if the actuator mode is set to Pitch actuators . If the mode is set to No structural pitch , the structure of the blade will not pitch and the sensor will only output zeroes. For more info, see the  Pitch actuators  part.

The Pitch actuators  sensor provides the following fields:
Field Unit Description
Commanded pitch actuator torques kNm the 3 torques produced by the actuators for blades 0, 1 and 2, respectively
Pitch error degrees the difference bewteen the structural pitch and the aerodynamic pitch for blades 0, 1 and 2, respectively
Commanded torque proportional part kNm the commanded torque corresponding to the proprtional part of the PID controller for blade 0
Commanded torque derivative part kNm the commanded torque corresponding to the derivative part of the PID controller for blade 0
Commanded torque integral part kNm the commanded torque corresponding to the integral part of the PID controller for blade 0
