Vehicle Test Bed

3 Wheeler Testing Machine



Operation Philosophy

  • This system is designed to Test the three wheeler vehicle
  • There are number of tests as follows :
    a) Speedo test ( Speed Mode )
    b) Vmax Acc. test ( Torque Mode )
    c) Break by distance ( Speed Mode )
    d) Fuel consume ( Torque Mode )
    e) Force at wheel ( Torque Mode
  • Regenerative Drive is used in Motoring Mode (Speed control)
  • Regenerative mode (Torque Mode) to handle various test.
  • Analog Input is used to read the load cell value.
  • Analog Output is used to control VFD speed in manual mode.
  • RS 232BD is used for Bar code scanner.
  • RS 485ADP-MB is used for VFD Communication on Modbus.

System Layout & HMI









Features

  • System with 128 DI/DO & 8 AI/AO
  • Ethernet module is used for communication of GOT and VB (Using MX Component)
  • Vehicle Testing done on Max. Speed 80 km/ph
  • Complex Part was to use VFD in Speed & torque Mode in different test by Mode switching
  • PLC to VB communication for test result and Actual speed display was in Millisecond
  • Different Formula are used in PLC Ladder to calculate Force,Speed,Distance etc.
  • Load cell calibration part was critical

Configuration

  • PLC – FX3U Series.
  • GOT- GT27 Series.
  • VFD- FR-A Series.
  • MX Component Software
  • VB Software
