Question 1 of 205eccef9cbacbc34ba4d45a3e

As shown in the illustrated adaptive digital steering control system functional block diagram and listed system interface signals table, what would the rudder order signal output voltage to the rudder servo amplifier be for a rudder order of 20 degrees left rudder, assuming left rudder signals are negative and right order signals are positive in polarity?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bipolar analogue voltage range for the rudder order output shown in the interface signals table • How many degrees of rudder correspond to the maximum positive and negative voltages • Relationship between voltage and rudder angle (proportional / linear scaling)

💭 Think About

• From the table, determine what voltage corresponds to the maximum rudder angle and whether it is symmetrical port and starboard • Figure out how many volts per degree of rudder this gives you, assuming the relationship is linear • Apply the correct sign (negative or positive) for a left rudder order of 20°, based on the problem statement

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact wording in the outputs row: Interface to external rudder servo control amplifiers (note the ± voltage and ± degrees values given there) • Double‑check your volts-per-degree calculation by multiplying back up to see if you recover the stated maximum voltage at the maximum rudder angle • Before picking an option, confirm that the sign of your final voltage matches the convention given: left rudder negative, right rudder positive
