Analog Output Module for Rotor Position Sensor Simulation and Electrical Fault Simulation
The Position Sensor Simulation FS (RPS) enables realistic generation of synchronous sine and cosine signals (GMR/AMR angle sensors), as used by position sensors in electrical machines. Additionally, the system allows for targeted simulation of electrical fault patterns. The RPS platform is based on the NI sbRIO-9608 and offers a highly integrable solution for complex test environments due to its modular structure and various communication interfaces (Ethernet & CAN-FD).
Technical Description
The RPS simulation unit is modular and allows for a scalable number of channels by combining several groups. The Position Sensor Simulation FS can be used to generate synchronous sine and cosine signals, as provided by position sensors in electric motors.
There are several stages of the simulation available. One module offers up to 30 analog outputs. This makes it possible to configure multiple output combinations. Another noteworthy feature is the simulation of various fault patterns such as phase shift, amplitude, and offset errors. Additionally, electrical fault patterns like short circuits and broken lines can be simulated. With calibration in the delivery state and high reliability, the modules provide very accurate long-term measurement results. A recalibration process in the IRS calibration laboratory can be carried out easily and with low maintenance requirements. Modular Channel Groups: Each group offers 5 analog outputs. The system is available in variants with 10, 20, or 30 channels. Dual Mode: Synchronization of 2 channel groups is possible Communication & Control: Ethernet: Full configuration and control CAN-FD: Complete control, configuration via Ethernet required Isolation: Each channel group is electrically isolated from other groups, the system's power supply, and the housing.
Mechanics & Housing Options
The Position Sensor Simulation FS (RPS) is flexible in use – in both laboratory and series testing environments.
19" Integration:
The modular hardware is prepared for integration into 6HE - 19" racks and can thus be seamlessly incorporated into existing test stands.Table Housing:
For development environments, manual test benches, or research institutions, the RPS is also available in a robust table housing. This variant can optionally be operated with 230VAC.
