Configuring Arduino with LabVIEW (Materials and Method)

The materials needed for LabVIEW for configuring Arduino. 1.       LabVIEW software installed in PC 2.       Arduino IDE installed in PC 3.       NI-VISA driver installed in PC 4.       VI Package manager installed in PC Method:  Step 1: Install LabVIEW software and Arduino IDE in PC Step 2: Intall VI Package Manager installed in PC. From this package manager install Arduino driver. Step 3: Flash arduino with LIFA program. LIFA stands for LabVIEW Interface For Arduino. Caution: Once this is done, immediately close arduino IDE otherwise it may crash LabVIEW if both software is running at a time. Step 4: Install NI-VISA driver. This driver is needed for communication support of Labview and Arduino. Now check in the programming window, if there is arduino option in front window after doing a right click on the mouse. If there is a Arduino menu, cheeers!! You are done. J

My Labview Dream

Controlling something using my PC was one of my biggest dream. I have studied a lot on how to do that and finally with the help of Labview I have controlled LED blinking, LED intensity control, LED intensity control based on LDR value etc. on 2018 last quarter. Followings are the expertise I have gained in between 28 August 2018 to 02 September 2018 (On a 5 day streak). A.      How to configure Labview to work with Arduino board B.      Basic of Labview studied C.      Arduino Digital output programming by Labview D.      Arduino Analog output programming by Labview E.       Arduino Analog output based on analog input by using Labview F.       Case structure and While loop using in Labview G.      Data flow analysis, Sub-VI, Case structure, array analysis H.      Comparison of value event analysis Refering these expertise, it was a great enjoyment for me to work with LabVIEW. I wish one day I cauld get job, where I will get chance to work with LabVIEW. Anyway

Testing Parameter of Silicon Steel

The main testing parameters are noted down below. 1 to 3 no's are most Frequent test. While others are usually tested by steel supplier or R&D purpose by the motor experts. Hysteresis loss and eddy current loss in separate value. Permeability of the punched sheet. B-H curve generation. Maximum polarization Effective polarization Maximum field strength Effective field strength Remanence Coercive field strength Specific apparent power Hysteresis display Form factor J(H) values for graphic display Among them hysteresis & eddy current loss is namely core loss and it checked as regular checking parameter before giving to stator line feeding. Usually core loss value is checked in each roll of stator lamination from the Press punched lamination. There are 3/4 total renowned tester supplier worldwide.

Si-Steel for Hermetic Compressor Motor

There are special grade of silicon steel used in hermetic compressor motor. As because the motor performance should be high enough to meet the requirement of compressor COP, we electric motor designer always prefer to use steel with low watt/kg (core loss) value. But, certainly we should keep in mind about the exponential price rise along with the core loss value. The range of core loss value can be allowed in the range of 1.85 to 2.5 watt/kg at 1 tesla.

CBB60 and CBB65 Capacitor difference, application and other info.

What is CBB60 Capacitor ? According to the provisions of China’s national standard  GB2470-81 , the capacitor named product model generally consists of the following four parts: Part I: The letter represents the name, the meaning of C is a capacitor. Part II: with letters material. Part III: numerical classification. Part IV: The digital serial number. For example: “ CBB60 ” Capacitor C  – meaning Capacitor B  – meaning the Dielectric is a non-polar organic film B  – meaning the Dielectric material is polypropylene 60  – meaning  Plastic can motor run capacitor .Broadly applied to starting and running of AC single-phase motors at  50/60Hz frequency for  AC motor ,  electric engine ,  water pump ,  generator  and high efficiency  compressors  of  refrigerators  etc. CBB60 Capacitor Feature: CBB60 Capacitors takes heavy-edge  metallized Al/Zn PP film  or web-like fuse film as dielectric. Its components are sealed with flame-retardant epoxy resin. It has cylindric

Stator Testing Parameter

Usual Tests done in Stator 1. Direction of Rotation 2. Winding Resistance 3. High voltage Test 4. Surge test or Q-factor test The need of each test on stator is stated below- High voltage test: The poor working on motor coil during the production process makes the insulation distance shorter than standard and cause the bad performance on dielectric withstand voltage between line to line. Surge Test: If during motor winding process the copper/aluminium insulation damages or scratch forms then it cause the bad performance on dielectric withstand voltage between line to line. The quality is determined by this process. DC Resistance Test: To test if the resistance of coil is normal and balanced Direction of Rotation Test: To test if direction of rotation of electro magnetic induction is in specific direction.  

Induction motor rotor testing parameter

Induction motors rotor are usually Aluminium casted. The performance i.e. quality of electrical induction motors is depending on the quality of the rotor built into the motor. Thus quality assurance of this important component is more and more becoming to be a major issue. For critical applications such as hermetic compressors, pumps etc. continuous quality monitoring of the rotor has been applied for many years and has proven to be the key for superior product quality. To ensure quality following parameters need to check from R&D point of view.  Broken or interrupted rotor bars.   Cold soldered or missing connection between bar and end ring.   Porosity either in the end rings or the rotor bars due to faulty injection processes, inferior aluminum alloy quality, and/or gaseous contamination.   Insufficient oxidation between aluminum rotor bar and steel core resulting in the phenomenon known as soldering.   Deviation of the rotor bar angle (skew).   A short circuit betwe
