Abstract:
The teaching environment for modern drive systems suffers from the increasing complexity of modeling and using the various components. In order to realize efficient and reliable systems, thorough knowledge of the individual properties and optimal system integration are required.
In order to be able to deal specifically with the central aspects, the surrounding components such as the operating system, encoder recognition or real-time problems should be limited to a minimum importance in order to obtain a clear insight into the actual core elements such as the motor model or the control architecture.
In order to create an efficient and targeted educational environment, an intelligent mini test bench was realized with the combination of different motor types (DC, BLDC, PSM, SynRel and IM). Three-phase inverters with full access to switching patterns and current measurement topologies are used.
The implementation of the modulation strategy, the identification of the drive states and the control architecture takes place in a fast prototype environment on a real-time control platform. This enables either testing with prepared demonstrations or quick implementation of individual solutions.
As a result, the participants realize complete drive systems in which all control components are transparent and can be examined in depth. As a result, they gain comprehensive knowledge of modern drive technologies and are able to design and optimize drive concepts that meet the actual requirements in terms of application, system integration and energy efficiency.
