NEW WING XD-55: Multi-Mode Control for Drone Cargo Winches

UAV is an unmanned aircraft that uses radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control devices, including unmanned helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, multi-rotor aircraft, unmanned airships, and unmanned paragliders. In a broad sense, it also includes near-space aircraft (20-100 km airspace), such as stratospheric airships, high-altitude balloons, solar-powered drones, etc. From a certain perspective, drones can complete complex aerial flight missions and various load tasks under unmanned conditions, and can be regarded as "aerial robots."

The flight control subsystem is the core system of the entire flight process of drones, including takeoff, aerial flight, mission execution, and return recovery. Flight control is equivalent to the role of a pilot for a manned aircraft for drones. We believe that it is one of the most core technologies of drones. Flight control generally includes three major parts: sensors, onboard computers, and servo actuators. The functions realized are mainly drone attitude stabilization and control, drone mission equipment management, and emergency control.

NEW WING has developed professional cargo winches for drones, which are used for air transportation, air emergency rescue, various natural disasters, agricultural transportation, and aerial marketing advertising, providing you with a variety of customized options. Our drone cargo winches provide you with professional air transportation solutions. We can customize the control method, communication protocol, and winch size, rope length, and speed. The following are the main control methods of our drone cargo winches, welcome to learn about them. If you have any questions, please contact us:

I> PWM Control

XD-55 has 3 PWM control interfaces reserved at the factory. If the user needs to control via PWM, the user only needs to match the PWM channel and the corresponding instructions. The manufacturer provides a debugging remote controller based on SBUS communication, which can be used by customers to debug the equipment functions on the ground.

FIG 4-2-1 PWM Channel function definition sheet

*It is recommended to use the middle value of the trigger condition for control.

II> SBUS Control

1.SBUS default channel configuration

Before users configure SBUS for control, connect the SBUS communication line and connect the SBUS communication line to the SBUS control interface. Users only need to configure according to the default channel settings of the product when it leaves the factory:

FIG 4-2-2 Definition sheet of factory default channel function

2.SBUS non-default channel configuration

Customers need to integrate the suspension system control into the aircraft remote controller, and need to modify it to a non-default factory channel, that is, they need to customize the remote controller channel control. They need to contact the manufacturer to obtain "XD-55 Communication Protocol.xlsx" for development and configuration.

III> Ground station of integrated flight control

If the user needs to control through the communication protocol, please contact the manufacturer to lead out the wiring before delivery, and obtain "XD-55 Communication Protocol.xlsx" from the manufacturer for development and configuration.

According to the communication protocol of the winch, the development and control on the host computer of the ground station requires one-to-one communication with the manufacturer. The manufacturer of the drone payload winch system only provides the protocol, and the host computer development of the ground station needs to be completed by Party A, and our company provides technical support.
