FLUID-STEUERVORRICHTUNG

A fluid repeater connects a high impedance sensor to the nozzle of a fluidic modulator such that the nozzle is coupled to the respectively low output impedance of the repeater instead of the high sensor output impedance. The repeater is of the leak type or a fluidic cathode follower shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,499,458. A fluid controller includes a plurality of high impedance signal sources and lines individually connected through repeaters to an impact summing modulator as a summing point connected to a diaphragm amplifier. The output of the repeaters can be connected directly to the opposed summing signal nozzles of an impact modulator, to a transverse deflection control nozzle; singly or in combination with a non-deflecting opposing modulating difference signal. A feedback restrictor connects the output of the diaphragm amplifier to the modulator. The repeaters in the circuit essentially eliminate all loading and attenuating of the high impedance sensors and permit a substantial simplification in the fluidic circuitry. Suitable "Ratio" and calibrating restrictors connect a regulated pressure supplying to the summing impact modulator. This provides a greatly improved controlling receiver of simplified, modular construction. An integrator may be readily formed by connecting a capacitor, coupling resistor and positive feedback restrictor to the input side of the controlling receiver.
