HARDWARE-SOFTWARE SYSTEM TEST BENCH FOR STUDIES OF A RECIPROCATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE

Abstract

The paper describes new engineering solutions when developing a test bench for studying experimental models of reciprocating electrical machines, as well as the hardware-software control system. A crank mechanism was used when developing the bench to create hydraulically driven reciprocating motion. The designed hardware-software system allows for controlling the bench and the test subject due to a large number of inputs and outputs of various applications. The sensors integrated into the bench allow for constructing the complete picture of the test and receiving a sufficient amount of high-precision data. The high flexibility of the bench and the test subject control algorithm allows for conducting a wide range of various tests of electrical products.
