Sensors and measurement modules are selected individually based on system requirements.
The engine to be tested is placed into a protective casing to be further connected to the test engine. Rotation of the test engine causes rotation of the engine to be tested. The protective casing has ports for connection of circulating water supply, compressed air and temperature sensors (the measurement points are located in direct vicinity to the engine surface).
Temperature, pressure and flow sensors are installed at the input and output of cooling liquid and compressed air supply systems.
Current and voltage sensors are connected both to the test engine and the engine to be tested as well as to the generator and frequency converter. The vibration sensors are mounted on the test stand supports for the purpose of vibration level control of both test and tested engine.
In the course of system development, there are used digital sensors, consisting of primary transducers (with corresponding measurement units) and measurement modules to be used for processing of the signals received from the primary transducers. In the case of pressure and vibration sensors, the primary transducer and the measurement module are placed inside of a single casing, in other types of sensors they can be placed in separated casings interconnected with cables.
The measuring modules are sequentially connected to the measuring system with cables, thus, forming measurement branches with CAN 2.0 interface. The necessary amount of measurement branches depends on the quantity and location of the tested items.
The signals from the digital sensors are sent to the server for storage, further processing, and calculation of the necessary parameters to be displayed on digital indicators at the control areas and the WKS. Interface converters ZET 7174 (CAN↔USB) or ZET 7176 (CAN↔Ethernet/Wi-Fi) are used in order to provide data exchange between the WKS and the CAN 2.0 interfaces.
The server is used for data storage and data transfer to the WKS. The system may have several separate WKS-s – for instance, for control and monitoring purposes.
The automated system is also equipped with the control modules used for the control of the set threshold levels. Should the threshold values be exceeded, the system will provide an emergency shutdown of the test system power supply.
Electrical motors and electrical drives operation control, as well as testing process control, is performed by means of 3 WKS-s.
Main control panel
Main control panel
The window “Main control panel” is used for the control of the following parameters:
It is also possible to control the position of the main valve of the air cooling system with a regulator and visually control the valve position.
In the case, if the set parameters threshold levels are exceeded, the operator automatically receives a notification with the corresponding message.
The main panel of the WKS contains the keys for power supply control in the course of tests performance and emergency shutdown of the system.
Monitoring subsystems
The monitoring subsystems are represented by a set of measurements related to pressure, temperature air and water flow control.
monitoring subsystem
The upper section of “Monitoring system” window contains values of the controlled parameters – temperature (°C), pressure (bar), flow (m³/min) at the input and output of the tested item cooling system.
It is also possible to display the controlled parameters of the cooling system in graphical format. The dropdown list allows to select the duration of the time history to be displayed.
Electrical control subsystem
The electrical control subsystem is a set of measurements related to the current and voltage level of the engine, generator and frequency converter.
“Electrical control” subsystem depicts all the measured values of the controlled parameters: voltage parameters, phases, total power, active power, reactive power.
Vibration control subsystem
Vibration control subsystem is a set of measurements related to vibration, supports displacement, rotation frequency and temperature of the tested item.
Vibration monitoring subsystem depicts all the measured values of the controlled parameters: vibration (dB), displacement (mm), rotation frequency (Hz), rotation speed (rpm).
Events log
The “Events log” enables search and view of the events detected by the automated test system.
