INTEGRATED SUBSYSTEM BUILD & TEST ANDRE PELLETREAU, JEREMY WILLMAN, KAI MASLANKA, VINCENT STOWBUNENKO, & KERRY OLIVEIRA MECHANICAL ENCLOSURE STATUS UPDATE • • • • Aluminum enclosure assembled • Scatter shield hinge/lock holes drilled Hinges, fans, fan screen attached Scatter shield cut and assembled AC voltage monitor, emergency stop and LCD screen mounted Phase 5 plans: • • • Attach locks and scatter shield Mounting of testing boards Accessories (grommets, rubber feet, u channels, etc) LOAD BOARD – CONSTANT CURRENT -CURRENT REMAINS CONSTANT OVER WIDE RANGE OF LOAD VOLTAGES PWM Value Current (mA) Voltage 15 50.8 50 15 50.2 100 15 50.7 150 15 50.5 200 15 50.1 250 15 50.5 300 15 50.8 350 LOAD BOARD – CONSTANT CURRENT -CURRENT STAYS CONSTANT AFTER DISABLING THEN RE-ENABLING THE CONTROLLER BOARD PWM Value Current (mA) Voltage 20 65.4 50 20 65.4 50 20 65.4 50 20 65.4 50 20 65.4 50 LOAD BOARD – CONSTANT CURRENT -CURRENT STAYS CONSTANT AFTER RECOMPILING AND RERUNNING CODE PWM Value Current (mA) Voltage 15 50.9 50 15 51.0 50 15 51.0 50 LOAD BOARD – CONSTANT CURRENT -CURRENT STAYS CONSTANT AFTER RECOMPILING AND RERUNNING CODE Voltage Current (mA) Voltage 1.0 168.3 50 1.0 165.0 100 1.0 166.7 150 1.0 181.3 200 1.0 168.7 250 1.0 194.2 300 RELAY BOARD AND AUTOTRANSFORMERS • Relay Board is complete • Using jumper wire to bypass 2 connectors for ease of testing, will incorporate in final testing. • Autotransformers tested and wired up properly. Ready for use in final test phase. • Note: 264 VAC transformer actually outputting 275 at no load. Safe to assume this will lower when load is applied? CONTROLLER BOARD TESTING • Electrical testing complete • Wire harnesses partially assembled • Software testing to begin this weekend • Need to get Bear Supply (12V 36W) SOFTWARE PROGRESS • Debug mode ready for hardware testing • Great debugging tool: Visual Studio w/ Arduino extension • Unlike regular Arduino IDE, breakpoints CAN be set and executed while running the Arduino board • Easily watch variables • Most error codes done • About half of them are working • LCD display working DEBUGGING MODE • Software code is separated into sections and now can be individually disabled/enabled, including: • Procedures • Loops • Individual functions • Other features including an option to print messages to Serial instead of printing to LCD • • ERROR CODES • Vincent defined termination point error messages • TERMINATED AT: • • • • • • SETUP CONTROLLER CALIBRATION POWER SUPPLY TEST CONTROLLER TEST ASSEMBLED UNIT TEST PROCEDURE NOT FOUND Error Reasons defined as well ERROR: • 24 V NOT FUNCTIONAL • NO VOLTAGE AT OUTPUT • CALIBRATION DATA DOES NOT MATCH • OUTPUT VOLTAGE NOT WITHIN 10% OF 55 V AT NO LOAD • OUTPUT VOLTAGE NOT WITHIN 10% OF 55 V AT FULL LOAD • HIGH VOLTAGE AND CURRENT OUTPUT NOT WITHIN TOLERANCE • 24 VOLTAGE OUTPUT WITH NO LOAD NOT WITHIN TOLERANCE • 24 VOLTAGE OUTPUT WITH FULL LOAD NOT WITHINT TOLERANCE • ERROR OR NO REPLY FROM CONTROLLER • NO SD CARD INSERTED • SD CARD UNREADBLE • INVALID BARCODE • SCAN FAILED – RESCAN • NO RECORD EXISTS • RTC FAILURE • ENCLOSURE OVERHEATED • CLOSE LID FOR TEST • WARNING WARNING EMERGENCY STOP RS-232 TESTING • Tested Converter • • • • Connected to terminal Receiving & sending commands PLANNED TO PERFORM ITEMS BELOW Sent simple commands to controller board • Unlock code • Voltage & current settings • Enable & disable commands • Ensured commands are measuring correct output IMAGINE RIT PROGRESS • Poster Progress • Reformatted and cleaned up • Waiting on finished product picture and testing results to finish – 80% done • Paper Progress • Paper about 80% complete • • Results Conclusion PROBLEM TRACKING REST OF THE SEMESTER…
