    1.0 Overview These operating instructions describe how to install and use the Bloomy 1200-00019 SLSC 8- Channel VDT/Resolver Simulation Module into a National Instruments Switch/Load/Signal Condi- tioning (SLSC) system. For information about installing, configuring, and programming the system, refer to the system’s documentation. Note: The safety guidelines and specifications in this document are specific to this module. The oth- er components in your system may not meet the same ratings and specifications. Refer to the doc- umentation for each component in your system to determine the ratings and specifications for the entire system. 1.1 Regulatory Refer to the product Declaration of Conformity for additional regulatory compliance information. To obtain product certifications and declarations of conformity for this product, see www.bloomy.com/support.

    Side and front views of the module are shown below with connector designators. Pinouts for the connectors are shown in Appendix A. Right Side View: REVISION HISTORY DESCRIPTION J1 and J2 are user connections for the VDT/resolver simulations. XJ1 connects to the SLSC back- plane, while XJ2 and XJ3 connect to the rear transition interface and then to the rest of the system. XJ2 is the analog/digital I/O connector, and XJ3 is the system-wide fault/instrumentation bus. Front View: J1 and J2 are 44-pin high-density female D-shell connectors. The PWR and RDY indicators show the status of the module according to the table below. February 29, 2018 www.bloomy.com Revision –...

This VI also connects the calibration and shared excitation buses. Instructions for these VIs are included with the VI. The transfer functions of the VI and module is discussed further below. 2.5 Theory of Operation The module simulates VDTs and resolvers by using an analog four-quadrant multiplier under ex- ternal control to vary the amplitude and sign of two return outputs for each excitation input. Both the excitation and the returns are transformer coupled for isolation and to provide the unit under February 29, 2018 www.bloomy.com Revision –...

For calibration of the transfer function, K and K are closed thus connecting a source of AC to CAL IN the excitation input of the channel. K is closed which connects a measurement device, such as CAL OUT a National Instruments PXI-based DMM, to the on-board calibration bus. K or K is then closed to complete the output signal path to the DMM. The control signals are then swept from -10V to +10V and the transfer function of the channel can be analyzed for calibration purposes. Each channel is calibrated in turn. If the excitation source is uncalibrated, K may also be connected during this process, though the CAL IN circuit to the DMM must be completed by a switch matrix elsewhere. While K and K are all in their open positions, K , and K may be opened in- CAL IN CAL OUT EXC IN dividually or as a group to simulate open-circuit faults.

    S is the sensitivity of the VDT in units of or similar, and 9∗88 d is the displacement of the VDT from its null position in units of corresponding length or rotation. Note that because the displacement can be positive or negative that the return voltage can be in phase or inverted relative to the excitation. Because the module has the capability of providing inverted outputs, each channel can be used to simulate two 4-wire VDTs. VI Inputs The VI for the 4-wire simulation requires the following inputs: : displacement for each return in units of length (e.g., mm or in.) or rotation (°) : displacement error for each return in the same units as the displacement; default value of 0 S: the sensitivity of the VDT expressed in units of mV/V/length or mV/V/°. As long as the unit of displacement matches the unit of the sensitivity, the simulation will work for both linear as well as rotary VDTs. February 29, 2018 www.bloomy.com Revision –...

When in doubt, the sensitivity can be derived using the following equa- tion: �� − �� 8 @A �� = �� × �� %&' where are the outputs of one of the returns at opposite ends of the VDT’s displacement, is the excitation voltage, and D is the total stroke (end-to-end displacement) of the VDT. N is rarely available from the VDT data sheet but is necessary for this type of simulation. It may be derived using the following equation: �� + �� 8 @A �� = 2 × �� %&' where are the outputs of one of the returns at opposite ends of the VDT’s displacement, and February 29, 2018 www.bloomy.com Revision –...

  • Page 11 Target VI: a reference to the target VI RPM command: a structure which performs one of the following actions: sets the target to a desired RPM commands the target to accelerate from the current RPM at an acceleration rate (in RPM/s) for a set length of time, or commands the target to accelerate from the current RPM to a target RPM in a set length of time. The VI outputs the current position and RPM of the simulation. The host VI maintains the connection to the target VI, so no user VI interaction is required. 2.6.4 Advanced Mode Advanced mode allows full control of each channel per the transfer function listed in Transfer Func- tion, above. In this mode, V and V are under direct user control. Other parameters are set by the VI control,1 control,2 based on the board configuration. February 29, 2018 www.bloomy.com Revision –...

    3.0 Installation 3.1 System Requirements This module requires: • an open slot in a National Instruments SLSC-12001 chassis • a single-ended analog rear transition interface (RTI) module installed into the open slot • a National Instruments PXI or Compact RIO D/A converter (two D/As per simulation chan- nel) • a cable which mates the RTI to the D/A converters • LabVIEW 2015 or later. Note: Install the latest software drivers for this module before plugging the module into the target SLSC chassis. The latest version of the software may be obtained from www.bloomy.com/support. 3.2 External Connections The module is designed to be used with the National Instruments Mil/Aero HIL SLSC standard sys- tem of components such as the Bloomy ThroughPoint™ Interface Panel. As such, most connections can be made using the off-the-shelf D-shell cables which are part of this system. When necessary, connections to the module may be made using custom D-shell cables per the pinouts shown in Ap- pendix A. February 29, 2018 www.bloomy.com Revision –...
