Utilization of advanced self-diagnostic functions implemented in frequency inverters for the purpose of the computer-aided identification of operating …

The article is a continuation of papers published in previous publications referred to the development of the Computer Control and Diagnostic System of Distributed Drives [1, 2, 3]. Authors of the paper focused on the group of frequency inverters coupled by the ProfiBus DP network, elaborated expert system and integrated control and diagnostic blocks placed in the PLC memory, at an angle of possibility of utilization of integrated selfdiagnostic algorithms of frequency inverters to the implementation in the Computer Control and Diagnosis System of Distributed Drives (CCaDSoDD) system. The article includes also an analysis of potential possibilities of utilization of embedded functions and restrictions connected with accepted assumptions

The influence of volumetric performance settings of a multi-piston pump on parameters of forced vibrations

The main objective of presented article is finding the relationship between the change in the intensity of the volumetric flow and values of vibration parameters (indirect measurements – vibration sensors mounted on the pump body). The study was subjected to the multi-piston pump (type PV Plus made by the Parker Hannifin) equipped with built-in volumetric performance controller

Multi-criteria optimization of the Dither current intensity in the case of proportional valve

The paper presents experimental studies of the impact of Dither current settings at: the hysteresis of proportional valves, pressure pulsations in hydraulic systems and vibration of the piston rod of hydraulic cylinders. Measurements were carried out for several parameter settings of the Dither current, including the manufacturer default settings and without the Dither control. On the basis of obtained results (using the multi-criteria optimization) optimal settings have been determined (frequency and amplitude). The optimum frequency of the Dither current intensity was compared with the value of the natural frequency of examined hydraulic cylinder (taking into account a hydraulic stiffness) and with the cut-off frequency of tested valve
