DFIM - Panels

Understanding the Panel

When starting the demo, the panel in figure 8 appears first with the default settings.



Figure 8: Start-Up Panel of the DFIM Drive Laboratory

The panel is to be operated as follows:

  • In the left corner, under DFIM control the student can set the control parameters such as input torque, reference speed, and reference current Id.
    Table 1 summarizes these parameters, while table 2 presents the descriptions of control buttons and the fuses.
  • Once a value has been applied for a control parameter, the student can observe the related waveforms under Oscilloscopes.
    Table 3 presents the content of scopes of each tab under Oscilloscopes.

Control Buttons

Associated functions

Reset

The reset push button is disabled.

The reset push button is activated and simulates replacement of fuses after a fault.

Fia

The DFIM’s stator phase A fuse is blown.

The DFIM’s stator phase A is intact.

Fib

The DFIM’s stator phase B fuse is blown.

The DFIM’s stator phase B is intact.

Fic

The DFIM’s stator phase C fuse is blown.

The DFIM’s stator phase C is intact.

Table 2: Control Buttons and LED Fuse Status Indicators

On scope localization, the indices used will be like those of matrix elements.
Hence, the scope located at the upper left corner (first row, first column) is denoted Scope11, while the scope in the upper right corner (first row, second column) is Scope12.
By the same token, the scope in the lower left corner is Scope21 while the scope in the lower right corner is Scope22.
Table 3 summarizes the content of scopes.

Finally, the parameter values and nominal ratings of the DFIM simulated as part of this laboratory are presented in table 4.

Note

The scopes under “Triggering Scopes” are automatically triggered, allowing students to see step change in current, torque, and speed.
Also, zoom-in capability options are enabled for these scopes.
