The "cRIO Position Sensor Simulation" enables realistic simulation of GMR/AMR angle sensors in National Instruments Compact-RIO systems. It has been specifically designed for testing applications in power electronics for electric machines (e.g., in electric and hybrid vehicles as well as many other industrial applications) and offers precise reproduction of sensor signals for functional, end-of-line, or lifetime tests.
Technical Description
The position sensor simulation can be used to generate synchronous sine and cosine signals, as provided by position sensors in electric motors.
There are multiple levels of the simulation available. One module offers 5 analog outputs. By combining several modules, different numbers of outputs can be realized. This makes it possible to configure multiple output combinations.
Another feature worth mentioning is the simulation of various fault patterns such as phase shift, amplitude, and offset errors.
Due to the calibration including adjustment at the factory state and the high reliability, the modules provide very accurate long-term measurement results. A recalibration process in the IRS calibration laboratory can be performed easily and maintenance-friendly.
