Common Control Unit

The Common Control Unit (CCU) is an integrated microcomputer and brushless DC motor drive designed to govern all the Compact and Compact Plus range of products. Multiple Common Control Units can be used together to provide multi-seat cockpit installations. Each CCU will command up to 4 axes. Axes may be linked for the same voltage controls. Connectivity with the simulator is via UDP over ethernet. The CCU runs the control law for the force feedback system as well as interfacing with the host computer in the simulator system. Bench and rack mount options available.
