EDC220√, EDC222√, EDC580√

1 System Overview

The EDC220V, EDC222V and EDC580V electronics from DOLI are powerful and cost effective systems especially designed for data acquisition and closed loop control of testing instruments. The EDC220V/222V/580V systems technically succeed the well established EDC Family, starting with EDC5, EDC25 and EDC100 up to EDC60 and EDC120.

EDC220√

The EDC220V is a built-in unit without keys and display and has been designed for static testing instruments. All measuring channels for a basic testing instrument, as well as an output channel to control an actuator, are on-board. The EDC220V has two I2-Bus-Extension-Slots for e.g. extensometers. The on-board load channel of the EDC220V has a resolution of ±180,000 steps. The EDC220V fits for:

screw driven instruments. The EDC220V has a load channel with DC supply, an incremental position channel and a controlled ±10Volt output for power amplifiers.

hydraulic instruments with a valve driven with ±10Volt. The EDC220V has a load channel, an incremental- or

SSI position channel and a controlled ±10Volt output for valves.

further load cells, LVDTs, strain gauges, extensometers, 2-channel-incremental-extensometers, serial controlled extensometers, safety shields, further I/Os, synchronising several EDCs in a multi channel application. For these applications further options are needed!

EDC222√

Basically, the EDC222V complies with the EDC220V looking at it from the technical side. However, it has a power supply unit and desk top case as the EDC580V and therefore, is available with display and keyboard and with the same drive variations as the EDC580V.

EDC580√

The EDC580V is a desk top unit with keys and display. It has been designed for static and dynamic testing instruments. Eight general purpose I4-Bus-Extension-Slots are on-board. The EDC580V fits for:

screw driven instruments with a specially adapted power amplifier for DC-servo motors. For servo motors with 12, 160 or 320Watt, integrated amplifiers will be used. These motors are available ready for plug-and-play. For servo motors with 1,000 or 2,500Watt, external amplifiers will be used.

screw driven instruments with any power amplifier. They are driven by a ±10Volt output or a digital command output. All necessary control signals to drive an external power amplifier are provided by the EDC.

hydraulic instruments, which are driven by a ±10Volt powered valve.

hydraulic instruments, which are driven by a servo-valve.

dynamic instruments, which are driven either hydraulically / pneumatically by a servo-valve or by a linear motor.

further load cells, LVDTs, strain gauges, extensometers, 2-channel incremental extensometers, serial controlled extensometers, safety shields, further I/Os, synchronising several EDCs in a multi channel application. For these applications further options are needed!

1.4 RMCs (Remote Machine Controls)

for EDC220√, EDC222√ and EDC580√

The new remote machine controls do fit for the new EDC220V, EDC222V and EDC580V and can be used in addition to them. The different keys do bear the same functions as the ones with the EDC580V.

1.4.1 RMC1

The RMC1 corresponds to the operating panel of the EDC580V and therefore has completely the same functions. It can be used either directly as front plate of this EDC (mounted within the case of the EDC580V) or in a separate case mounted somewhere else at the testing instrument. It has no magnetic foil.

Dimensions: L 40 x W 255 x H 105 mm

Display: OLED-graphics display 128x64 dots

Connections: Plug-in connection in the rear

Keys: UP, DOWN and STOP (machine control) numerical and function keys (value input, programming) emergency stop

Digipoti: Crosshead / cylinder positioning Scroll of display and positioning of data input

1.4.2 RMC6

Generally, the RMC6 is the substitute for the preceding RMC5. It is a small handheld unit (cable 3m) directly connected to the EDC. The control keys F1, F2, F3, UP, DOWN, STOP as well as the ‘mode changer’ for the Digipoti and the Digipoti itself are on the front. It has a small display and control LEDs for the TEST- and the POWER-function. The RMC6 has a magnetic foil on its back and therefore can be placed at an ergonomic position.

Dimensions: L 25 x W 65 x H 202 mm

Display: OLED-graphics display 128x64 dots

Connections: Cable 3m connects to RMC connector at the EDC

Keys: UP, DOWN and STOP (machine control and value input) function keys

Digipoti: Crosshead / cylinder positioning Scroll of display and positioning of data input

EDC2V-5V_long_en.doc 13

EDC220√, EDC222√, EDC580√

1.4.3 RMC7

The RMC7 is a handheld unit (cable 3m) directly connected to the EDC. It offers completely the same functions as the operating panel of the EDC580V and, by means of that, as the RMC1. Just like the RMC6, the RMC7 has a magnetic foil on its back and therefore can be placed at an ergonomic position.

Dimensions: L 26 x W 120 x H 200 mm

Display: OLED-graphics display 128x64 dots

Connections: Cable 3m connects to RMC connector at EDC220 and EDC580V

Keys: UP, DOWN and STOP (machine control) numerical and function keys (value input, programming) emergency stop

Digipoti: Crosshead / cylinder positioning Scroll of display and positioning of data input

1.4.4 RMC Hub

The RMC hub is used to connect up to four RMCs to the EDC. This is an advantage for e.g. very long testing systems, such as chain- or rope testers. This way, the teste can be operated from more than one location. Furthermore, a hub is necessary, when an EDC with keys and display is mounted inside the DOLI Container and an RMCs has to be used in addition. The possible cable lengths for the RMC and the hub is up to 70m.

4.4 Options inside the EDC

4.4.1 ANA2 Analogue Output for 4ETF, 2CFA and 2DCA

The option ANA2 provides a ±10V analogue output e.g. to display a strain gauge signals via a X-Y-recorder. The output voltage is not calibrated. A 10V-Output is approximately equivalent to the nominal value of the connected transducer.

4.4.2 Safety Shield Control

This option controls safety shields with and without locking. The option delimits the maximum load and the maximum speed while the safety shield is open. The Safety Shield Control has a connection for a loose-key switch, that is used to override the option for the set-up of the instrument.

4.4.3 RS232-Connection

The EDC main boards have an internal connector with a RS232 serial line. The RS232 option is a small cable assembly with a 9-pin D-SUB-connector leading to the back side of the EDC. Application: e.g. for a video-extensometer with RS232-o output. The big advantage: the signal input via the RS232 into the EDC can be used as control input. Within the system, the RS232 Interface can be selected as a control input just as with a 4ETF.

4.4.4 RS232/RS485-Converter

The EDC main boards have an internal connector with a RS232 serial line. The RS232/RS485-Converter converts the RS232 signals to RS485.

4.4.5 Synchronisation of several EDCs

This option is needed for synchronisation of data acquisition and motion control amongst several EDC systems. All necessary signals are transmitted via a serial RS485-bus. Up to 32 EDC-Units may be connected to this bus. The master EDC generates the basic system clock “SpeeT” and the position controller time base “PosT” as well as additional signals. For perfect results, the set-up parameters “SpeeT”, “PosT” and “DaRate” must be adjusted to the same values for all synchronised EDCs. Application: Tension-/Torsion Tests, Two-/Three-Axis Testing Systems, etc.

This manifold already contains a pressure sequence valve as well as a safety valve and the measuring point as quick acting closure. A sufficient working pressure for the valve will be guaranteed. Hence, the aggregate produces less heat. The manifold fits for the 4/4-Way-Proportional-Valves Moog-D633 R08 and R16. However, as valves from other manufacturers can be used, also.

4.5.4 Container for electronic mounting

Using the "short-circuit-plug" - which in fact replaces the testing instrument - the signals of the EDC will be shown exclusively.

The monitor can be connected between the EDC and the testing instrument, hence facilitating the trouble-shooting with the EDC as well as with the testing instrument.

The operative range of the Drive-Monitor goes from the “research&development” over the “production” up to the “service department”.

4.6.2 DOLI Installation Center

The DOLI Installation Center has been developed to support users while equipping testing instruments with the EDCs from DOLI. The initiation of a testing instrument as well as calibrations to be carried out later on are simplified by using this program. The DOLI Installation Center consists of four components:

EDC Setup Editor

Closed Loop Setup Program

Adjustment Program

Calibration Program

4.6.3 DoPE Programming Interface and DoPE TestCenter

The DoPE Programming Interface is a DLL-software for the communication between a custom-made application software and the PC. It enables the customer to adapt his software to the EDC fast and easy and to drive the EDC even without Test&Motion. “Closed loop control” of different testing systems in all three control types is possible as well as bumpless transfer between these control types. The communication between the PC and the EDC happens via USB or LAN using a secured DPX-log. Communication drivers and header files are available as well as documentations and demo software for different programming languages. The DoPE TestCenter represents a test software for the programming interface. It can be used to check settings and their functions and display all instrument parameters at once. All in all, DoPE is a powerfull tool to support DOLI-customers in developing their own testing software.

5 Software

The EDC can be operated either “stand alone“ or as “machine control interface” in connection with a PC. For the “stand alone“ version, special stand-alone-software is available. The tests “Soft”, “Hard” and “Concrete” are implemented in the EDC already for no extra cost. Whereas for the tests “Position and Load Cycles”, “External commands” and “Creep test”, licences must be bought. For the PC, we offer the software Test&Motion.

5.1.4 Application "External Command"

In this test, the position command for position or load is given via an A/D-Converter (4ETF / 4FAD). This way, an external function generator can be connected to the A/D-converter. The command input is shown in % of the nominal value within a band, positioned in the middle of the EDC display (zero point in the middle of the band).

Test Structure

Approaching the external command: After test start, the actual value of the external command is approached with speed V1. This approach happens in position control. While approaching the external command, this command must not be changed. Therefore, the calibration contact must be open thus signalizing that the external command must not be changed. After reaching the position, the calibration contact will be closed, signalizing that the external command now is allowed to be changed.

Following the external command: Now, the control type will be changed to command control. This condition will remain, until the test either is stopped with the “Test End Key” or aborted by means of reaching a limit. Speed and acceleration, that are caused by the external command, are delimited to the nominal values from the tester Set-up. The set position is delimited to the predefined positions (Pos+ and Pos-).

Test end As desired, either a position controlled halt or an automatic return to the starting position will happen.

5.1.5 Test Description "Position and Load Cycles"

This test type is for simple fatigue tests. The specimen will be loaded sinusoidal with the predefined frequency and amplitude. It is possible to run in load- or position control. The test is done, when either the predefined load cycles are reached or one of the predefined limits has been exceeded.

Test Structure

Offset approach The predefined offset will be approached with the speed V1. The approach is defined position controlled.

Approach of the upper peak The upper peak will be approached with a ramp in the predefined control type (position or load controlled).

Cycling The load changes between the upper and lower peak are done in a sinusoidal manner. During the test run, the peak values are kept constant with a command pilot control. Further on, the channel which is not in control (load for position control and position for load control) will check the predefined limits.

Test end After reaching the given load cycles or after exceeding a limit, there are two possibilities to follow: either a position controlled halt or an automatic return to the starting position.

Application Life time tests, cycle tests etc. used for testing the exhaust pipes of cars with a testing system driven by a linear motor, testing furniture with a testing system driven by pneumatic actuators, etc.

5.1.6 Creep Test

The creep and rupture test (on-board of the EDC) controls the complete test course of a creep testing instrument. The test runs as stand-alone test on the EDC, i.e. for the whole test control, no PC is necessary. The test parameters can be entered manually at the EDC or via the PC, the measurement values will be stored inside the EDC, even over a period of several days (depending on the pre-defined data detection rate). The PC can access and read out these data for the test evaluation. This way, it is guaranteed that the test can be performed without having a permanent connection to the PC. The test course is defined as a block program with up to 12 steps. For each step, it is possible to approach a position, load, strain or a temperature with a ramp and then keep the value constant for a definite period of time. As an alternative, it is possible to drive a definite number of sine, triangle or rectangle cycles within a step.

5.1.7 Statistics EDC

During the input of test parameters, statistical parameters can be chosen at the EDC. Invalid test results can be cancelled directly after a test in order to have valid results in the statistics, only. At the end of a series, the statistics are calculated with the function key “N-Series“. The statistic values are:

Minimum value

Maximum value

Mean value

Standard deviation

Coefficient of variation

Statistical values are available at a printer only.

5.2 Test&Motion PC Software The test and evaluation software Test&Motion is used to operate the EDC as a Machine Control Interface in connection with a PC.

„A test software should be able to

display everything I want evaluate everything I need

give everything out the way I like it!“

DOLI combined these tasks in the Test&Motion Software.

Program Structure

The WINDOWS™ based testing program Test&Motion has been developed in a modular design. It consists of the basic software containing a simple but adaptable tension / compression test and different modules for almost all kinds of testing applications.

Modules

T&M Basis - the basic software with a simple tension/compression test, platform for all application modules

Application Modules - the perfect module for each application type

Free Programming - absolutely individual design of test courses

Sequence Control - absolutely free design of test sequences with any number of runs (with individual

performance criteria and test speeds for each run)

The Software shows different information in different windows at the same time. All sorts of signal sources can be displayed. Load, position and strain are standard, but other transducers or calculated results can be displayed, also. Sample diameter, temperature, scales, etc. are possible as well as results via I/Os. Variables are shown as curves in X- or Y-direction or are listed digitally. The variable names can be changed (e.g. load or F), the graphic can be zoomed several times and remarks can be stored within the graphic. If a larger view of the curves is needed, the graphic window can be drawn up to screen size. Due to the organisation in separate windows, you have the possibility to move important values to a point where you can still see them. Applications are available for all kinds of tests: Metal, plastic, rubber, glass, food, wood, etc.

DynPack

The Test&Motion DynPack module is the software for dynamic tests. DynPack offers the collection, processing and display of measurement data from up to ten channels at the same time. Whereas up to five channels are processed with a data acquisition rate of 5kHz. DynPack displays the following information in parallel windows on the screen: measured values in a digital manner, on-line graph with reduction of data, the covering curve and the oscilloscope window. It is possible to assign simple limits as well as inner and outer limits to the amplitude for each working block. The assignment can be done in a relative and in an absolute manner. DynPack communicates with several EDCs simultaneously. Hence, a two- or three-axis-system can be controlled easily. A function generator with ramp, triangle and sinusoidal functions is included. Furthermore, it is possible to sweep between frequencies and amplitudes and to superimpose different curve forms. The EDC580V and DynPack are best friends of your dynamic tester.
