OP1400PR PHIL Prime Test Bench Series Troubleshooting

Page Contents

Verify that the mains supply is disconnected and that no external energy source is connected to the Output Interface, LP or HP Bus Bar boxes terminals before opening the cabinet doors when troubleshooting. Failure to do so could expose the user to risks of electric shocks. Refer to OP1400PR PHIL Prime Test Bench Series Important Safety Information for more information.

Troubleshooting

Possible solutions

Problem

Possible solutions

Unable to turn on the DC power supplies

  • Verify that the power knob on the DC power supply is set to the ON (I) position.

  • Verify that the 3-phase mains input disconnect switch (at the front of the test bench, on the PDU, and/or building disconnect switch) is turned on.

  • Verify that the “AC Mains” LED on the PDU front panel is ON

  • Verify that the Emergency Stop on the E-Stop Module is deactivated (24V_ON LED must be lit). Rotate the Emergency Stop button clockwise to release the EMERGENCY STOP button, press the Start button to enable the PDU main power contactor, and ensure that the Start/Stop button is lit.

  • Verify that the signal harness on the rear panels of the E-Stop Module and PDU (P1 connector) is correctly plugged in.

  • Verify that all power bars inside the test bench are plugged in (double-check for any loose connection) and turned ON (indicator light should be lit on power bars)

  • Verify that the power switch is turned ON (I) on the PDU rear panel.

Overcurrent protection on 3-phase mains input keeps tripping when working in the medium to high-power range on the test bench

  • For test bench models with more than one DC power supply, verify that the 3-phase connections are interleaved from one power supply to another to ensure balanced three-phase currents, as documented in OP1400PR PHIL Prime Test Bench Series Installation

OP8110 Amplifier ends up in an undervoltage/overvoltage fault when power starts being consumed/produced

OP8110 Amplifier seems to produce an output voltage but it does not appear on the DUT outputs

OP8110 Amplifier does not produce an output voltage

  • Verify that the SFP cable is correctly connected between the amplifier (right SFP port) and the simulator

  • Verify that the SFP communication link has been correctly configured in RT-LAB and that the model is running (measurements coming from the amplifier should have a little noise)

  • Verify that the OP8110 amplifier unit is turned ON (the light inside the power-on button on the front panel is green), refer to problem OP8110 Amplifier does not turn ON if necessary.

OP8110 Amplifier: unable to enable the DC link through RT-Lab (DC precharge never starts)

  • Verify that the SFP cable is correctly connected between the amplifier (right SFP port) and the simulator

  • Verify that the SFP communication link has been correctly configured in RT-LAB and that the model is running (measurements coming from the amplifier should have a little noise)

  • Verify that the OP8110 amplifier unit is turned ON (the light inside the power-on button on the front panel is green), refer to the problem “OP8110 Amplifier does not turn ON” if necessary.

  • Power down the DC supply and wait for 5 minutes before reenabling the precharge sequence, refer to OP8110 Power Stage (DC Precharge section).

OP8110 Amplifier: unable to enable an amplifier output through RT-Lab

  • Verify that the SFP cable is correctly connected between the amplifier (right SFP port) and the simulator

  • Verify that the SFP communication link has been correctly configured in RT-LAB and that the model is running (measurements coming from the amplifier should have a little noise)

  • Try clicking on the DISABLE button before retrying the ENABLE button (GUI synchronization issue that arises when trying to enable outputs too rapidly).

OP8110 Amplifier does not turn ON

  • Verify that the auxiliary supply harnesses (one for OP8110-3, two for OP8110-6) are correctly plugged in on the OP8110's 12 V AUX connectors on the rear panel.

  • Verify that the auxiliary supply harness on the PDU rear panel is correctly plugged in

LP or HP Bus Bar is not supplied (24 V ON light is not lit)

  • Verify that the Emergency Stop on the E-Stop Module is deactivated (the 24 V ON LED must be lit), and rotate the Emergency Stop button clockwise if not the case, to release the EMERGENCY STOP button if necessary.

  • Verify that the signal harness on the rear panels of the E-Stop Module and on the rear panel of the PDU (P1 connector) are correctly plugged in.

  • Verify that the 24 V ON LED on the PDU front panel is lit.

LP or HP Bus Bar outputs cannot be turned ON (the light between the Start and Stop buttons does not turn ON)

  • Verify that the front panel 24V ON light is lit, refer to “LP or HP Bus Bar is not supplied (24 V ON light is not lit)” if necessary.

  • Enable the DUT by pressing the Start button - the button light should start blinking.

  • Activate the DUT remotely - the button light should be lit continuously.

  • Verify that a DB37 harness is connected between the Bus Bar DI connector (rear panel) and the appropriate digital output connector of the simulator.

  • Verify that the digital output module of the simulator is correctly configured (a loopback test can be done with the DB37 harness looping back to a digital input module).

E-Stop Module: Start/Stop button not working (light does not turn on or does not maintain itself on when pressing Start)

  • Verify that the signal harness on the rear panels of the E-Stop Module and on the rear panel of the PDU (P1 connector) are correctly plugged in.

  • Verify that all power bars inside the test bench are plugged in (Double Check for any loose connection), and turned ON (indicator light should be lit on power bars).

  • Verify that the power switch is turned ON (I) on the PDU rear panel.

  • Verify that the 24 V ON LED on the PDU front panel is lit
