Review of Project P07203: Dynamometry Lab Infrastructure

Prepared by Joe Krisher

Staffing:

3 ME, 4 EE Total, Project Manager: Matt Antonio, mda5463@rit.edu

Timeframe:

Completed by the end of Winter, 2006-2

Mission:

Develop a chassis dyno for use with the 7200 series vehicles, as well as robots in the FIRST competition. Dyno will be scaleable, modular, open source and open architecture. It will be functional in a variety of applications.

Deliverables:

- Dyno to interface with PC and robot for data acquisition and control.

- Will characterize motors from P07201 and P07202 complete with error analysis

- D Grade for motor analysis only

- B Grade for motor, motor modules

- A Grade for motor, motor modules, and chassis

Design Characteristics:

- The entire unit will be stored in a lockable wheeled cart.

- The treadmill assembly will be a separate structure that can collapse and be stored in one of the drawers of the cart.

- Motor-Only and Motor-Transmission measurement systems will be capable of measuring 25ft/lbs

- Chassis measurement system capable of measuring 150ft/lbs

- Uses a mechanical friction brake for resistance

- Can receive and send commands to motor modules, as well as motor controllers.

- Integrated PC-104 stack for board-to-board communication interception; current draw, RPM, and temperature will be available from this bus.

- LabVIEW Interface to control dyno and motor functions as well as receive data

Needed Information

- Final size and loading characteristics of the treadmill chassis testing assembly.
