TEST PROCEDURE Testing the Controller Board Power Supply
TEST PROCEDURE Testing the Controller Board, Power Supply Board, and Unit as a Whole
Test Procedure ■ AC subsystem – Connecting DMMs to the outputs and measuring the voltage and current and comparing it to what the software says it is. – Compare what the software sets the current and voltage to vs. what actually occurs.
Test Procedure (con’t)
Test Procedure (con’t) ■ AC subsystem (con’t) – Are the relays being controlled properly and selecting the right AC input voltage? ■ Write software to enable relays to either select 115/85 down transformer or 120/264 up transformer ■ This functionality is verified by a meter – Safety – Is the emergency shut off functioning properly? ■ Create a environment with increased temperature and increase fan speed, if emergency shuts off, it works
Test Procedure (con’t) ■ Cooling System – Run AC subsystem for a while and turn on fans – Use temperature sensors to verify temperature ■ Arduino/RS-232 Communctions – Verify software using DMMS
Test Procedure (con’t) ■ Active Load – Apply different voltage to it – Vary resistance of load
Test Procedure (con’t) ■ Test output 2 ■ Test output 1
