3. Testing Considerations

A number of factors must be taken into consideration before running a test, including: safety, power dissipation, and influences that affect the apparent accuracy of the torque readout (such as shaft alignment, windage, friction, vibration, dynamometer leveling, cogging, Eddy currents and temperature rise). The following sections describe these factors, and their effects, in further detail.

Note: If you have not already done so, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Micro Dyne System’s technical specifications. See Section 1.2 – Data Sheet.

• Ensuremotorundertestisproperlymountedtothemotorfixture.

3.2 poWEr DiSSipAtion

All Magtrol dynamometers are power absorption instruments. As a dynamometer loads a test motor, it is absorbing power from the motor into the hysteresis brake. The brake is converting this mechanical energy into heat.

There are finite limits to the amount of energy and resulting temperature rise that any absorption brake can withstand. Excessive power over extended periods of time may result in more obscure damage including breakdown of bearing lubricants and degradation of magnetic coil insulation. Extreme temperatures due to inappropriate operation can not only warp the rotor and surrounding housings, but also alter the magnetic characteristics. Absolute best-case scenario under such circumstances would be a reduced torque output from the brake assembly, if complete dynamometer failure were not realized.

3.3 ShAft AlignMEnt

In motor testing, shaft alignment is one of the most important factors to consider. An improper coupling and/or shaft alignment can lead to unwanted side loads and vibration, damaging both the test equipment and motor. To accommodate micro motor sizes, while preventing side loading on the dynamometer shaft, a coupling of small flexible rubber tubing should be used. The friction of the rubber tube on the shaft alone suffices as a clamping agent. Several pieces of rubber tubing, in various diameters, are included with the Micro Dyne for this purpose. Refer to Section 4.2.1 – Shaft Coupling for detailed coupling instructions.

3.4 WinDAgE

Windage is proportional to the square of speed. The air friction is tangential to the surface and impinges upon the stationary field assembly. This acts as viscous drag and becomes part of the motor load and torque reading. There is also a small amount of air dissipated as pumping loss. Since this appears as a load on the motor, not measured by the dynamometer, it becomes a source of error. Considering the size of the parts affected by windage in the Micro Dyne, this source of error will be less pronounced then if similar speeds were seen on larger dynamometers.

ION

3.5 friCtion

Friction of the carrier bearings is a measurable load. When correctly loaded and lubricated, the friction is insignificant. During actual motor testing there is usually enough system vibration to “settle” negating frictional effects. If excessive drag is present, mechanical realignment may be required. In the design of the Micro Dyne, careful attention was paid to carrier bearing friction for the proper operation of the pendulum assembly; mainly in ensuring the pendulum returned to the zero position within the published error bands.

Note: Friction is the largest source of error in the Micro Dyne but it is relatively small in comparison to the overall range and accuracy (< 1%) of the dynamometer.

3.6 vibrAtion

All rotating dynamometer assemblies are precision balanced. At high speeds, some vibration and noise are inevitable but not necessarily harmful. however, excessive resonant vibrations caused by bent shafts and poor alignment will produce data errors and are a safety hazard.

Caution: severe vibration left unattended Could ultimately lead to permanent damage to the test equipment or the motor under test.

3.7 DynAMoMEtEr lEvEling

An improperly leveled dynamometer will alter the torque calculations in proportion to the deviation from a true level surface. The base plate of the Micro Dyne is equipped with two leveling knobs and an embedded bubble level for easy leveling.

ION

This cross-section shows (by one tooth) the magnetic relationship of the hysteresis brake elements. If the dynamometer shaft is at rest with the torque applied, and if the torque control is then reduced to zero, a magnetic salient pole will be temporarily imposed on the rotor of the brake.

If the shaft is then rotated slowly, the magnetic poles on the rotor will attempt to align with the adjacent case-pole tooth form. This is often referred to as “cogging”. The action is sinusoidal. First it tries to resist rotation and then, as the rotor passes through the tooth form, it subsequently supports rotation.

The most obvious results of cogging are uncontrolled oscillations within the torque/speed curve. It will become difficult for the motor under test to tune in the PID loop, along with a possible increase in resonant noise from the dynamometer and motor.

3.8.1 avoiDing cogging

To avoid magnetic cogging, before the shaft comes to rest, slowly reduce the torque control to zero.

3.8.2 removing cogging

To most effectively remove cogging, once established, reapply current on the dynamometer. Then, slowly ramp the current to zero while maintaining a very low speed (only a few rpms). The current ramp to zero can be increased slightly in speed when the dynamometer rotation is sped up during this process.

3.9 EDDy CurrEntS

There is some Eddy current generation within the brake rotor. These magnetically-induced currents cause an increase in braking torque proportional to speed. While more pronounced in larger dynamometers (which exhibit higher rotor surface velocities), in a pure loading system it becomes a benefit of the dynamometer. Since the Eddy currents effect the rotor surface, this torque is measured by the torque pendulum and becomes another load source (and not a source of error).

3.10 tEMpErAturE riSE

Temperature rise has a more complex effect on hysteresis brake load torque and is difficult to quantify. As the temperature of the brake increases, differential expansions cause dimensional changes that tend to increase torque. Conversely, electrical resistance in the rotor increases with temperature, resulting in decreased Eddy current generation and load, all in a variable frame.

Caution: under no CirCumstanCes should the maximum wattage ratings for the dynamometer be exCeeded. the resulting rise in temperature Can Cause permanent damage to the rotating assembly, inCluding altering the magnetiC properties of the rotor itself.

4.3.1 motor reversaL

If it is desired to perform a motor test in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, a relay card is required. Motor direction is configured in M-TEST and requires a power supply supported by M-TEST. Supported power supplies are found in the Device text box, under the Power Supply options in the Configure hardware window. See Figure 4–5.

4.3.1.1 Reversing Motor Direction Before Test is Run

To reverse the motor direction and keep the direction of rotation constant throughout the entire test, use the Configure hardware window for motor reversal setup.

1. open the Configure hardware window.

2. Under Power Supply, click on the Device text box and scroll through for a list of supported power supplies.

3. After selecting a power supply, set the voltage and current output for that voltage supply. If a negative voltage is entered, M-TEST switches relays to change the polarity of the motor voltage and, in turn, reverses the direction of rotation (for a DC motor).

-

Figure 4–5 M-TEST Power Supply Configuration

4.3.1.2 Automatic Reversal of Motor Direction During Test

Curve tests and Pass/Fail tests allow for reversing the motor direction during a test.

Note: because Ramp tests do not allow motor voltage control, the motor must ramp up and down in the same direction for the entire test. To reverse the direction of rotation for a ramp test, after running the first test, enter a negative power supply voltage in the Configuration hardware window (as described in Section 4.3.1.1) and then run the test a second time.

1. If not already done so, select a power supply supported by M-TEST in the Configure hardware window.

2. open the Configure Test window. If Curve Test or Pass/Fail Test is selected, an extra column in the Control Data table, under Test Parameters, labeled “volts” should appear.

5.2 SpEED MEASurEMEnt

The Micro Dyne contains a reflective fiber optic speed pickup. As each rotor slot passes by the sensing end of the fiber optic, an electronic pulse is generated, which is then converted to a speed reading (in rpm). The incoming pulses from the speed pickup can be resolved down to 5 hz or 5 pulses per second. With 6 slots on the rotor, this results in a minimum speed setting of 50 rpm. (The speed reading will drop to zero at 50 rpm.)

Note: The rotor/speed measuring mechanism of the Micro Dyne has been optimized for motors running from 10,000 rpm to 100,000 rpm.

Figure 5–2 Micro Dyne Rotor

5.3 ControllEr AnD thE piD loop

The Micro Dyne has PID adjustment capability for both the speed and torque modes to provide the best system response. The PID loop comprises the following three variables:

P = proportional gainI = integralD = derivative

other important variables include:

• Setpoint-desiredloadorspeed• Error-differencebetweenthesetpointandtheactualmeasurement• Additionalscaling–usedtobroadentherangeofthecontrolloop

5.3.1 P (ProPortionaL gain)

With proportional gain, the controller output is proportional to the error or to a change in measurement. Deviation from the set point is usually present. Increasing the proportional gain will make the PID loop unstable. Increasing the integral value will eliminate this instability. For best loop control, set the proportional gain as high as possible without causing the loop to become unstable.

5.3.2 i (integraL)

With integral, the controller output is proportional to the amount of time the error is present. Increasing the integral value eliminates the offset from the set point. If the response becomes oscillatory, increase the derivative value.

5.3.3 D (Derivative)

With derivative, the controller output is proportional to the rate of change of measurement or error. Derivative can compensate for a changing measurement. Derivative takes action to inhibit more rapid changes of the measurement than proportional gain.

5.3.4 aDDitionaL scaLe factor

The Additional Scale Factor (PS, IS and DS) is a multiplier of the P, I or D term. Due to the fact there are so many different motor combinations, this multiplier is needed to extend the range of the PID. The letters represent the following values:

A = 0.001 D = 0.05 g = 1 * The default multipliers are g, g, and g

b = 0.005 E = 0.10 h = 5

C = 0.010 F = 0.50 I = 10

Using the multiplier, PID values from 0.001 (0.001 × 1%) to 990 (10.0 × 99%) may be inputted.

5.4 DC WAttMEtEr

The data acquisition stage in the hardware of this DC power measurement instrument is very simple. The input voltage is divided by an amplifier circuit and applied directly to a lTC2515 A/D converter. The input is differential and isolated from the amps circuitry. The input current is applied to a shunt resistor and the resulting voltage is amplified and applied directly to a lTC2515 A/D converter. The input is differential and isolated from the voltage circuitry. The wattage presented is a multiplication of the amps and voltage. See Section B.3 – DC Wattmeter Schematic.

7. Calibration - Watt Meter

7.1 CloSED-box CAlibrAtion

The Micro Dyne features closed-box calibration. The advantage of closed-box calibration is that the user does not have to disassemble the case or make mechanical adjustments.

The unit can be calibrated using external reference sources. Correction factors for offset and gain are stored in nonvolatile memory. They remain in effect until the user or the calibration house updates them.

Appendix A: Hardware Commands

Although most motor tests can be performed with M-TEST, the following command reference tables are included for users who wish to write their own application.

A.1 DAtA forMAt

Speed-torque data is a fixed-length string in ASCII format with a floating point decimal. Use the following string format:

SdddddTdddd.R(cr)(lf)

or

SdddddTdddd.l(cr)(lf)

Where…

S = Speed in rpm. (No leading zeroes are used.)

d = Decimal digit 0 through 9.

T = Torque in mN·m. (The torque value always contains a decimal point.)

l = Counterclockwise dynamometer shaft rotation (left).

R = Clockwise dynamometer shaft rotation (right).

. = Decimal point. (The decimal point location depends on the specific dynamometer and torque range in use.)

Note: The (cr) and (lf) characters will not display.

exAmple

If a motor is running at 1725 rpm clockwise, with the dynamometer loading the motor to 22.6 oz.in., the Micro Dyne will return:

S 1725T22.60R

by manipulating the string, the speed-torque and shaft direction (if required) can be extracted. Then separate numerical variables can be assigned to them for data processing.
