What is PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 - Control performance guidelines about?
PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 is a technical handbook that deals with control systems developed as part of a space project. PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 is applicable to all the elements of a space system, including the space segment, the ground segment, and the launch service segment.
PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 addresses the issue of control performance, in terms of definition, specification, verification and validation methods and processes. PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 establishes a general framework for handling performance indicators, which applies to all disciplines involving control engineering, and which can be declined as well at different levels ranging from equipment to system level. PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 also focuses on the specific performance indicators applicable to the case of closed-loop control systems. Rules and guidelines are provided allowing to combine of different error sources in order to build up a performance budget and to assess the compliance with a requirement.
Note: PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 does not cover control performance issues in the frame of launch systems.

- System engineers
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 - Control performance guidelines?
PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 focuses on the specific issues raised by managing all performance aspects of control systems in the frame of space projects. PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 provides a set of practical definitions, engineering rules, recommendations and guidelines to be used when specifying or verifying the performance of a general control system; attention was paid by the authors to keep the application field as open as possible, and not to restrict to a specific domain – such as spacecraft attitude control for example.
PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 provides its users with the general outline for the control performance process, intrinsic performance indicators for closed-loop controlled systems, and a hierarchy of control performance requirements. Using PD CEN/TR 17603-60-10 guidelines ensures safety and protection and high-quality performance for its users.
