Product Description

Magtrol’s EM-TEST is an Endurance Motor Testing Software for PC (Windows 7 SP1 / 10) based data acquisition. Combined with a Magtrol DSP 7000 Series High Speed Programmable Controller, EM-TEST works with any Magtrol dynamometer or in-line torque transducer to determine the performance characteristics of a motor under test. Up to 128 parameters are calculated and displayed utilizing EM-TEST’s unique testing and graphing capabilities.

An integral component of any Magtrol Endurance Motor Test System, EM-TEST performs curve testing in a manner best suited to the overall efficiency of the test rig. Written in LabVIEW™, EM-TEST has the flexibility to test a variety of motors in a multitude of configurations. The data generated from this user-friendly program can be stored, displayed and printed in tabular or graphical formats, and is easily imported into a spreadsheet.

Magtrol can also make custom modifications to the software to meet additional motor testing requirements.

Analog Input Measurement

Up to 128 Analog Sensors can be read and monitored during a motor test. Heat rise curves on the bearings, windings and housing of a motor can be performed and air flow/exhaust efficiencies can be measured with an air tool or internal combustion engine.

EM-TEST, with its complete dynamometer control, even allows for analog measurement while performing load simulation for duty cycle and life testing.

CAUTION: Specific hardware (e.g. NI™ 9211,…) is required to enable this function.

Temperature Sensor Measurement

Up to 128 thermocouples can be read and monitored during a motor test. Heat rise curves on the bearings, windings and housing of a motor can be performed. EM-TEST, with its complete dynamometer control, allows for sensor measurement while performing load simulation for duty cycle and life testing.

Hysteresis function: If the temperature exceeds the high threshold, the test passes to PAUSE mode and a relay is disabled. When the temperature passes under the low threshold, the test passes to RUN mode and a relay is enabled.

CAUTION: Specific hardware (e.g. NI™ 9211,…) is required to enable this function.

Relay Control

Up to 12 relays can be controlled during test. The state of each relay can be set for each step.

CAUTION: Specific hardware (e.g. NI™ 9482,…) is required to enable this function.

                    [post_content] => Magtrol offers these calibration beam assemblies and weights for calibrating HD-Series Hysteresis Dynamometers. To perform a successful dynamometer calibration, precision weights heavy enough to apply a torque at or close to the full scale rating are required. Magtrol WT Series Calibration Weights are equal to the dynamometer's torque value, divided by the distance between the outer pin and centerline of the corresponding CB Series Calibration Beam. Calibration Weights are available in English or SI units. Calibration Beams are marked for both English and SI weights. For detailed dimension drawings, click on the model's underlined link.

                    [post_content] => Magtrol’s EMA Series Stand Alone Encoder provides a squarewave output on two channels for up/down counting or free-runmotor speed measurement applications. Each channel outputs the specified pulses per revolution of the encoder shaft, and is 90° phase-shifted in order to determine direction when used with the appropriate counter/timer DAQ board. The device incorporates an infrared optical switch and disk assembled into a rugged aluminum housing. The encoder is supplied with an 8 mm rectangular key for easy alignment to a Magtrol PT 25 Base Plate.
