The DSP6000 has PID adjustment capability for boththe speed and torque modes to provide you with thebest system response. The PID Loop comprises thefollowing three variables:
P = Proportional Gain
I = Integral
D = Derivative
The setpoint is the desired load or speed. Error is thedifference between the setpoint and the actualmeasurement.
P (PROPORTIONAL GAIN)
With proportional gain, the controller output isproportional to the error or to a change in measurement.Deviation from the setpoint is usually present.Increasing proportional gain will make the PID loopunstable. Increasing integral value eliminates thisinstability. For best loop control, set the proportionalgain as high as possible without causing the loop tobecome unstable.
I (INTEGRAL)
With integral, the controller output is proportional tothe amount of time the error is present. Increasing theintegral value eliminates the offset from the setpoint. Ifthe response becomes oscillatory, increase the derivativevalue.
D (DERIVATIVE)
With derivative, the controller output is proportional tothe rate of change of the measurement or error.Derivative can compensate for a changing measurement.Derivative takes action to inhibit more rapid changesof the measurement than proportional gain.
When a setpoint change occurs, the derivative causesthe controller gain to go the "wrong" way when themeasurement gets close to the setpoint. Derivative canbe used to control overshoot. If derivative is used, highergain and integral values are usually necessary.
Magtrol offers a comprehensive motor-test programwhich would satisfy most of your needs. Call MagtrolSales at 1-800-828-7844 or 1-716-668-5555 to requestyour custom software.
NOTE: To set PID values, see Chapter 3- Installation.
Figure 6. PID Loop
SETTING THE CORRECT PID'S FORYOUR MOTOR
NOTE: Each type of motor may have it'sown optimum PID setting.
NOTE: The PID settings are scaled to themaximum speed setting;therefore the maximum speedsetting should be adjusted to justhigher than the free-run speed ofthe motor being tested.
When testing a new motor where the optimal PID's areunknown:
1. Begin with the Proportional Gain (P) and theIntegral (I) both set to a low value and the Derivative(D) set to zero. This will allow the best opportunityfor finding the optimum in the lowest amount ofsteps.
2. Using the DSP6000 in the speed mode: Set thespeed target at approximately 90% of the free-runspeed.
9
Magtrol Model DSP6000 Dynamometer Controller Chapter 2 - About the PID Loop
The larger the I value the faster the DSP6000 will moveto the target number, but an I value too large will causeinstability (oscillation). Once the optimum values arefound, these steps should be repeated at differentpercentages of speed to ensure that they are the bestcombination for the entire speed range.
NOTE: The PID values for a speedstabilized test and a ramp testwill vary. Therefore, PIDadjustments may be needed whenchanging from a stabilized test toramp testing with the samemotor.
The D value has little or no effect on this type of testing,therefore the D value can remain at zero.
3. Turn the brake to the ON position and observe howthe actual speed moves toward the target speed.
4. If the speed moves slowly or not at all, increase theP until the target speed is achieved.
5. Turn the brake OFF.
6. Turn the brake ON and note how fast the free-runspeed changes to the target speed.
7. If the speed conversion does not happen quickly,increase the I value.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 until the motor moves from thefree-run to the target speed as quickly as possiblewithout excessive overshoot.
Example:
Motor type: ACFree-Run speed: 1750
1. Set maximum speed to 1800
2. Set P = 5 I =5 D = 0
3. Set target speed to 1600
4. Turn brake ON—no response
5. Move P value to 10—still slow, not reaching 1600
Note: Increasing the P more will notincrease the operatingcharacteristics without firstincreasing the I value.
6. Turn brake OFF
7. Move I value to 10
8. Turn brake ON—Reaching 1600 very slowly
9. With the brake OFF, adjust the P to 15
10. Turn the brake ON—never reaching 1600
11. Turn the brake OFF. Decrease the P to 10 andincrease the I to 15
12. Turn the brake ON—reaches 1600 Faster
13. Turn the brake OFF. Increase I to 20
14. Turn the brake ON—reaches 1600 Faster
15. Turn the brake OFF. Increase I to 25
16. Turn the brake ON—reaches 1600 Faster
17. Turn the brake OFF. Repeat

The DSP6000 can be used with a computer to control adynamometer and to transmit data from motor testingdirectly to the computer. Using the DSP6000 with acomputer enables the unit to perform at its full capacity.
ABOUT THE GPIB INTERFACE
(General Purpose Interface Bus)
Magtrol instruments use the GPIB (IEEE-488 Standard)for computer-to-instrument interfacing because:
• The GPIB parallel interface is faster than serialinterfaces.
• The GPIB enables testers to access up to 15instruments on one port. Because typical motortesting requires that at least five separateparameters be synchronized, a system of easy,fast access to more than one instrument isessential.
• The GPIB has rigid data formatting andhardware standards. These standards help toensure that all functions will work properlywhen the hardware and software are installed.
NOTE: The GPIB interface is notstandard on most computers. Aninterface card and driver softwaremust be installed. Magtrolrecommends NationalInstruments Corporationhardware and software.
• An IEEE-488 cable must also be installedbetween the computer and the DSP6000.

A cable may also be purchased from your localelectronics store. A RadioShack #26-152 cable and #26-264 null modem adapter are known to work. The nullmodem adapter must be used on the computer end ofthe cable.
ACQUIRING SPEED-TORQUE DATA
Speed-torque data is a fixed-length string in ASCIIformat with a floating point decimal. Use the followingstring format:
SdddddTdddd.R[cr][lf]
or
SdddddTdddd.L[cr][lf]
where . . .
S = Speed in RPM. No leading zeroes are used.
d = Decimal digit 0 through 9
T = Torque in units selected during setup. The torquevalue always contains a decimal point.
L = Counterclockwise dynamometer shaft rotation (left)
R = Clockwise dynamometer shaft rotation (right)
. = Decimal point. The decimal point location dependson the specific dynamometer and torque range inuse.
NOTE: The [cr] and [lf] characters willnot display.
Example:
If a motor is running at 1725 RPM clockwise, with thedynamometer loading the motor to 22.6 oz.in., theDSP6000 will return:
S 1725T22.60R
By manipulating the string, the speed-torque and shaftdirection (if required) can be extracted. Then separatenumerical variables can be assigned to them for dataprocessing.
SELECTING THE BAUD RATE FOR THERS-232 INTERFACE
The DSP6000 communicates with the host computerthrough a DB-9 interface connector. The connector pin-out is: 2-RX, 3-TX, 4-DTR, 5-GND. No other pins areconnected.
21
CLOSED-BOX CALIBRATION
The DSP6000 features closed-box calibration. Theadvantage of closed-box calibration is that the user doesnot have to disassemble the case or make mechanicaladjustments. However, the calibration of the AccessoryTorque Output must be done internally with Offset andGain trim pots.
The Torque readout and Auxiliary Input can becalibrated using external reference sources. Correctionfactors for Offset and Gain are stored in nonvolatilememory. They remain in effect until the user or thecalibration house updates them.
The front panel displays the actual correction factorsabove the ZERO and GAIN readouts. Record thesevalues before calibration. In the unlikely event of aController failure, it can re-initialized by pressing andholding the P, I nad D buttons while turning the poweron. All internal memory and setups will be lost. Afterre-initializing, reprogram the GAIN and ZERO valuesinto memory.

8. Remove the weight for ZERO adjustment.
9. Press the ZERO button.
10. Adjust the Increase/Decrease Dial until the displayindicates 0 mVDC.
NOTE: The mV output of thedynamometer will be equivalentto the Full Scale Torque Rating,disregarding any decimal point.
Example:Magtrol’s HD-400-6 Dynamometer has a full-scale torque of 40.0 oz.in. The distance fromthe center of the dynamometer shaft to the pinon the calibration beam is 5 inches. Placing an8 oz. weight on the pin will produce a torque of40.0 oz.in. The mV output of the dynamometerwill be 40.0 minus decimal point or 400.
11. Repeat steps 5 through 10.
12. After completing calibration:
• Press the BRAKE ON/OFF button OFF toremove loading from the dynamometer.
13. Remove the calibration beam from thedynamometer shaft.
14. Proceed with your desired motor testing.
Be sure the shaft flat is facing down,tighten the cal-beam screw against theshaft flat only.

INERTIAL EFFECT ON MOTOR TESTDATA
A major advantage of the DSP6000 is its ability to obtainfull motor performance data (free run to locked rotor)by continuous load application with an absorptiondynamometer. Data acquisition is fast, resulting inminimal motor I2R losses, and loading characteristicssimulate actual end-use applications.
When a motor is accelerating or decelerating, themeasured torque is the sum of the true motor torque ±the inertial torque, or stored energy, of the system.Unless inertial torque is excluded, motor performancewill vary in proportion to the rate of acceleration ordeceleration.
This type of error can produce problematic test results.For example, during rapid deceleration, system inertiacan produce apparent efficiency greater than 1.0. Thiserror may occur if output power is divided by inputpower without extracting the stored energy in thesystem.
Since "inertial effect" is only a factor when speed ischanging, and because inertial torque is proportional tothe rate of change, inertial value may be expressed as aunit of torque per change in RPM in a given period oftime. With the DSP6000, properly adjusted PID valuesyield constant change in RPM so that the inertial torquecan be expressed as a constant.
PROCEDURE FOR INERTIACORRECTION1. Determine the torque Correction Factor (CF) as
follows:
• Adjust the PID loop properly
• Establish a torque value equal to the inertialtorque.
2. Use the "Program Down" command (PD#) to rampto 75% of the free-run speed.
3. Select a data point on the performance curve wherespeed will be approximately 78% of the free-runspeed. Let this represent the dynamic speed-torquevalue.
Appendix BAppendix BAppendix BAppendix BAppendix B: Inertia Correction: Inertia Correction: Inertia Correction: Inertia Correction: Inertia Correction
4. Immediately program your DSP6000 (Nddddd) toa speed equal to the dynamic speed value. Whenthe speed stabilizes, use this as the static torquevalue.
CF = Dynamic Torque - Static Torque
To correct your data, subtract the CF from each torquepoint obtained during the ramp.
Example:
FR
0TORQUE
DYNAMICTORQUE VALUE
SPEED VS TORQUECURVE WITH CONSTANTDECELERATION
.78 OF FR
STATIC TORQUEVALUE
CF = DIFFERENCE IN TORQUE
SPEED
DIFFERENCE IN TORQUE
KEY CONDITIONS
• Select appropriate value. The test pointselection of 78% is typical for an inductionmotor. Use a value in the linear portion of themotor curve where there is a substantial torquechange with speed.
• Acquire data rapidly. Rapid data acquisitionis necessary so that motor heating does notdegrade performance by adding a falsedifference between the static and dynamictorque values.
• Use a regulated power source. The input linevoltage must be stable for the time necessaryto perform the test. Torque varies by the squareof the change in line voltage.
• Obtain new CF value for variousdeceleration/ acceleration rates. The CF isonly valid for its specific ramp rate. To calculateother CF rates, use the following equation:
CFnew
= (CFold
/ramp rate) X new ramp rate
