10、ines for those tasked with selecting a closed-loop digital shaker control system (DSCS) for use in vibration or shock testing, or both. This RP is concerned with single shaker operation only. It is not meant to be a specification for a specific purchase, but rather a focused treatise on factors that

11、 should be con-sidered when setting out to specify a new vibration control system. It is assumed this system will be used for critical qualification of military or commercial products, for example, according to MIL-STD-810, and will be based on valid engineering design and ex-hibit robust performanc

12、e. 1.2. Basic Control Concepts In a professional closed-loop digital shaker control system, a desired power spectral density (PSD), sine profile, transient waveform, or shock response spec-trum (SRS) is stored as a reference and compared, on-line, with one or more measured control responses. The dri

13、ve signal is updated as necessary, each control loop, to maintain the specified test function. Typically, the control loop gain is measured prior to random or sine tests. When performing transient or SRS tests, both gain and phase of the control loop should be measured during system characterization

14、 to avoid un-wanted pulse distortion during testing. In random con-control, both the spectrum shape and the root-mean-square (RMS) value of the test should be simulta-neously controlled. In random and sine tests, control may be established using multiple control transducers to control to the average

15、, the maximum, or the mini-mum of the measured responses. Also, limit channels may be specified to avoid over testing of sensitive test articles. A combination of sine-on-random, random-on-random, or sine plus random-on-random may also be required. In these tests, control of all test componentsinclu

16、ding tones, bands, and broadband randomshould be specified to avoid out of control conditions. Occasional independent analysis of the control loop performance is encouraged as a means to assure uni-form test results from a variety of available shakers and control systems. A multi-pole, analog, anti-

17、aliasing filter should be fur-nished at the input of each control channel of the DSCS to avoid downstream aliasing of measured con-trol signals. Similarly, an analog anti-imaging filter should be present in the drive signal path from the DSCS digital/analog (D/A) to the shaker power am-plifier to re

18、duce or eliminate transition steps from the output D/A converter as well as unwanted low fre-quency drive energy. The basic block concept of a closed-loop, controlled vibration test is shown in Figure 1. IEST 2011 All rights reserved Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology IEST-RP-DTE019.

22、f the dynamics of the system under test for its control during the entire test. control dynamic range A digital shaker control system (DSCS) is designed to produce a desired control response at a selected loca-tion (or averaged locations) on a test article, fixture, or shaker. The desired test may b

23、e random, sine, shock, or some combination of these, but regardless of the dynamics in the shaker, fixture, test article, transduc-ers, cables, etc., the DSCS should be able to maintain the desired control level and shape within the specified tolerance bands. Thus the DSCS should adjust its drive le

24、vel to accommodate all the dynamics encountered in the control loop as the test progresses. If a known vari-ation in peak to notch dynamics of X dB is placed in the feedback path of the DSCS, and the DSCS is able to control the response signal to within the test toler-ance bands, the DSCS can be sai

25、d to have a control dynamic range of X dB. This definition of control dy-namic range is independent of the amount of drive swing from peak to notch that is required to achieve control of the X dB dynamic load. Some DSCS de-signs may perform input and output auto ranging, which will affect total driv

26、e swing. Also, this means that a true test of DSCS dynamic range cannot be achieved simply by performing a closed-wire test be-cause a wire has no dynamic range. 4 BACKGROUND Those charged with specifying or selecting a DSCS have many factors to consider in making this selection. The specified DSCS

27、may be used with a variety of different shakers, on widely varying tests, perhaps with many different data requirements, and by users with varying backgrounds and experience. Some of the cat-egories or criteria that should be considered include: a) Upper and lower frequency range of operation. b) Ma

28、ximum and minimum sampling rate pro-videdmay be critical for shock control. c) Input accuracy (not resolution) Many transduc-ers that will be used with the DSCS have a stated accuracy of 1% to 5% over a given frequency range. 8 IEST 2011 All rights reserved Institute of Environmental Sciences and Te

29、chnology IEST-RP-DTE019.1 The DSCS should have an accuracy at least 10 times better than that, or typically 0.2% of reading or better. d) Calibration Provisions should be included for offset removal and linearity calibration of the input A/D and output D/A converters. Any necessary soft-ware and har

30、dware should be available from the DSCS vendor to effect a calibration traceable to National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) standards. e) Types of tests to be performed, such as random or sine-on-random. f) Types of transducers that may be used with the DSCS. 5 RECOMMENDED FEATURES 5.1 G

31、eneral The DSCS is to be used for measurement, analysis, and closed-loop control of random, sine, and shock, as well as expansion to more complex control methods such as shock synthesis, sine-on-random, and random-on-random. The system should be based on fast Fouri-er transform (FFT) and digital sig

32、nal analysis algorithms. The system should be capable of simulta-neously acquiring and controlling vibration data on at least two analog input channels but be expandable to include at least N channels without degrading mea-surement or control performance. The control should be based on any of the ch

33、annels as well as combina-tions of channels with average, minimum, maximum, and limit control strategies. The system should be con-structed on a modular basis, using standard production assemblies and subassemblies. The system capabilities should be easily expandable by standard, off-the-shelf, soft

34、ware and hardware option modules. Each input channel should provide user-selectable coupling of AC, DC, and ICP. The DSCS should have a menu and computer mouse-driven mode of test setup with simple setup file storage and retrieval capability. It should be possible to store and retrieve named test se

35、tups with simple mouse operation. Similarly, it should be possible to store and retrieve for post-test observation, test data, using simple mouse operations. Calibration software should be furnished and calibra-tion hardware recommended by the vendor to permit the DSCS user to perform an in-situ cal

36、ibration of the entire control system. Either as a standard or an op-tional feature, the DSCS should provide the ability to measure frequency response functions (FRF) between the drive and a response or between two responses. Displays of magnitude and phase should be specified. Storage of displays a

37、nd graphical data, directly from the controller, is also desirable. 5.2 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Application software should be based on industry standard multiple-windows display or equivalent graphical user interface. The ability to display control channel(s) during the test is required. In

38、addition, at least four display windows should be furnished for real-time observation of drive, control, and response parameters as desired. Tagging of selected display values should be furnished with a means to maintain their shown values on hardcopy. Display of at least two overlaid traces should

39、be furnished. It should be possible to quickly print any displayed parameter through a simple print control. 5.3 Safety considerations The following safety features should be provided: Noise check of all control channels prior to test Loop check of all control channels prior to raising test level Si
