1.1 General
The FF CP card is capable of performing the following functions:–
a) Link Master / Link Active Scheduler
b) Basic Device
The in-built function blocks vary in availability between the different actuator types. The input and
output blocks are used to link to the transducer block and tie to the available actuator functions. For
example the AI block associated with actuator torque measurement is only available in the DSM
actuator type. The following table lists the function blocks and their related availability in each actuator
type.
