Sales brochure for the Hitachi-200X analog hybrid computer, describing a desk-top or rack-mounted machine designed so that the operator patches a block diagram directly on the patch board without requiring knowledge of electronic circuit terms. The brochure covers key innovations including direct block-diagram programming, three ranges of coefficient potentiometers (0.1, 1, 10), a Program Check System (PCS), dual-point shielded patch contacts, IC-based operational amplifiers, and digital coefficient amplifiers for hybrid operation. General and individual specifications are tabulated, application examples spanning linear and nonlinear differential equations, epidemiology, germs-in-water problems, earthquake response, and industrial simulation are illustrated, and a full composition table lists available computing element configurations (A-10, A-20, 2S, 2LS, 3, 3S, 4, 4S, 4LS).

Conventional analog hybrid computers seem to require the user to have a considerable knowledge or electronics, rather than knowledge of their own profession. In this sense, a digital computer is easier to operate. Hitachi believes an analog hybrid computer must allow the user to draw a required block diagram directly — and exactly — on its patch board. It must not require the user to translate mathematical matters into electronic ones. The computer must COMPUTE all of what is given in the form of a patched block diagram. The HITACHI-200X has no special electronic terms on its patch board. You can draw a block diagram on a problem, with very basic common knowledge on representation, and patch it on the patch board as markings guide. Design and specifications are subject to change without notice. Front Panel + & + 6 as 3 ®) E CONTROL PANEL ACT-241 ] © eye 6fo o- y QuTPUT SELECT bo 4 5 oh - n .

They cover the ranges of —0.1 to It eliminates the trouble to inverse polarity of the signals in 0.1, —1 to 1, and —10 to 10.. preparing a block diagram. You can draw the diagram directly as your’equation sets forth. u No load effect on potentiometer The potentiometers are completely freed from the load- ing effect of operational element. No compensation for 7 ; we _ setting is required. Dialed values give accurate coefficients. The patch board is not marked in electric terms; rather it is You need not make compensation for setting, such as the marked with common codes for an operational block troublesome zero-method. diagram.

You need not prepare a de- bugging program. ~ PCS CONTROL Dual point-contact system for patch pins. Perfect shielding between springs. e Dual-point contact system The patch pin and patch spring ensure perfect contact at two points. The patch pin is inserted in more than the normal position and returns to it when engaging is estab- lished. Sliding motion: of the patch spring cleans the contacts and keeps the patching free from defective con- tact. x Patch pin 4 y 4 Pate spring ve £max Patc Pin slide process’ pin | Sa EE { 3 Engaged Disengage Sliding e Perfect shielding Patch springs are mounted inside the shielded wall. There is no mutual induction of error voltages. The shielded walls also protect the pins and springs from dust deposits. Insulation body Abundant use of Integrated Circuits (IC) All operational amplifiers are composed of IC modules, guaranteeing the highest reliability of operation. All kinds of computing element No universal function is necessary for operators, merely rendering user handling complicated. This is Hitachi’s idea! Operators of the HITACHI 200X are complete with func- tion for their assignment. It has made the dead space limiter, hysteresis, and other nonlinear elements incompar- ably easy to operate. 10 Digital coefficient amplifiers for facilitating application to a hybrid system Electronic digital coefficient amplifiers provide the follow- ing two operation speeds: high operation speed of 10msec and superhigh operation speed of 50 usec. For example, they allow the following hybrid applications: D-A conversion + D-A converted analog out- +1 Input put — Inversed sign analog output (Setting is controlled by a digital signal from the digital computer.) Multiplication of digital signal and analog signal Input + Kf (x) K — K-f (x) (Setting’is controlled by a digital signal f(x) from the digital computer.) Software service HIDASP is available. The software package HIDASP (Hitachi Digitally-Aided Scaling Program) readily prepares scale-converted (output conversion and time axis conversion) operational formulas and a patching list for an original equation (no electric development of equation is required). The digital solution obtained from the support will aid in checking the final solution. e Example of assistance by HIDASP X¥+X+7x+y=0 ~+0.7 $+ 4y — 5.6x = 0 Initial condition x =0,x =2, »=0 y=0 *** HIDASP SOURCE PROGRAM LIST *** 1* D2X —DIX—7.0* X—Y ) Source 2* D2Y —0.7* D1IY—4.0*Y + 5.6*X progra Dos: xX * 3* DIX INT (D2x, 0.)

Earthquake response of a building SS — it Bosses ot ra If we consider the vibration characteristics of a building up to its plastic region, analysis by an analog computer will be suitable for the purpose, because a certain nonlinearity is contained in the earthquake response of the building. An analysis is to be made to obtain response of the building for horizontal swing by earthquake. The building can be simulated on a concentrated constant basis, by concentrat- ing the mass of each story at the center of gravity of each story. Thus, the building can be modeled as shown in Fig. if Fig. 1 is a simulation of a two mass-point system which is equivalent to a 2-story building. Substituting composite characteristics of two stories for a mass point in Fig. 1, the figure can simulate a 4-story building. The correspondence of mass points and number of stories is not fixed; rather, it is rich in flexibility. Fig. 1 Model of a Two Mass-point System Building Fig. 2. Relationship in The spring constant of posts k1 and k2 shows the displace- ment-to-restoration force relation given in Fig. 2. Compliance of posts C1 and C2 are assumed to be constant.

For example, the optionally selected elements can be tested and mistakes in patching can be checked by supplying an optional signal level to a selected element and by comput- ing it with a theoretical value. These check operations can be performed by accessing the Control Panel (when the computer is used in a hybrid mode, the simulation is more simplified by accessing the circuit from a digital computer which is combined). —y . Set the MODE CONTROL switch to the AR position. 2. Using the OUTPUT SELECT switch, select an element to which the checking input will be supplied (integrators and adders can be selected). 3. Set the simulation input level by using the potentio- meter PCS CONTROL and the input polarity switch. PCS CONTROL JL |® iB t Input polarity switch Potentiometers (In this figure, —0.5 is set.) 4. Supply the checking input to the element by depressing the SET switch of PCS CONTROL. 5. Select the other element to be checked by the OUTPUT switch and reach the signal level displayed by the digital volt meter and analog meter indicator. Compare the displayed level and analog meter indicator. Compare the displayed level and theoretical value to check the element functioning and patching. 6. After the test is completed, clear the circuit by depress- ing the CLR button of PSC CONTROL.

General Specifications Se a a = SS 2. Individual Specifications Conventionally, specifications for an analog/hybrid com- puter are given in terms of static accuracy, frequency response, phase characteristics, and so on. However, Hitachi believes that the user may require, in the most practical sense, to acknowledge computer actual accuracy at the actual operation speed (natural angular velocity w inherent in an equation being used). For Analog Computer 200X, Hitachi offers specifications in the term of TIDE (Total Instanteous Dynamic Error) which reflects what the analog/hybrid computer does in actual operation. TIDE is represented by a sum of static error and dynamic error. In the measurement setup shown in the figure (for an summer and for w = 100), TIDE is given as; T,LD,E= 2 E iox* 100 (%) 33 34 Specifications for Individual Computing Element i= —£03% «| £05: | | Pipe teh ike + el ty + ra Sine function generator , | t055% | +0.
