Measurements on a DC Motor using Imaging and Virtual Instrumentation Techniques

Abstract:
The paper presents an experimental system that implements different measurement techniques of some parameters related to a DC motor. The measurement is not made in a classical way. Thus, the measured values like speed, vibrations, temperature and geometrical sizes are taken from images or are illustrated in distinct colors so the user has a friendly interface to relate with. The proposed applications can be of two types: static measurements on a motor that is not running, and dynamic monitoring tests, on the same motor while it is in operation. The system is a combination of hardware and software elements for data acquisition, vision inspection and virtual instrumentation techniques. The proposed monitoring methods could work together, and the correlated measured data could be used in a comprehensive predictive maintenance program.
