Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Bladed-style DISCON controller has been supported within FAST/OpenFAST for many years, but the pitch-rate actuator inputs and output have never been supported. This issue was raised in the following topic on our forum: https://forums.nlr.gov/t/some-problem-about-bladed-style-controller/9822.
Describe the solution you'd like
Direct support for the pitch-rate actuator inputs, i.e., avrSWAP(10) and avrSWAP(12), as well as pitch-rate actuator outputs, i.e., avrSWAP(42-44) and avrSWAP(46). This will require an input file change in ServoDyn to support avrSWAP(10).
Additional context
Support for the pitch-rate actuator should now be possible in OpenFAST given that OpenFAST now supports internal blade-pitch degrees of freedom in ElastoDyn and blade-pitch actuation in ServoDyn, per PR #3039.
