The combination described in this manual consists of an EMCON and a three phase asynchronous
dynamometer (APA 100).
3XUSRVHRI(0&21
The EMCON with an asynchronous dynamometer is used as a device for measuring the effective power
of a unit under test (Otto-, Diesel-, Electric-engine or turbines). The asynchronous dynamometer is used
to acquire and control torque and speed. The APA 100’s construction and dimensions are designed
according to the unit under test.
EMCON communicates with the asynchronous dynamometer via a fieldbus connection. The fieldbus
transmits
• states (errors, switch positions)
• commands (dyno on, dyno off)
• actual values (speed, torque)
• demand values (speed, torque)
as digital signals.
The pendulum torque signal necessary for controlling the torque is measured directly at the
dynamometer. The load cell is directly connected to the EMCON.
If the test bed’s dynamometer is replaced, the load cell has to be re-calibrated. Otherwise
measurement errors may occur.
EMCON provides various signals to control the test sequence (auxiliary devices ON/OFF, control modes,
preheating etc.).

The monitored signals are configuration dependent. Exact information can be found in
the documentation of the manufacturer.
The asynchronous pendulum dynamometer is monitored by the APA 100’s power control unit. Apart
from acquiring and evaluating the actual values of torque (X8) and speed (X7) the limits are continuously
monitored. The power is monitored by the APA power control unit.
If the engine monitor is used the signals of the unit under test can be connected to plug X9 and X24
where EMCON outputs the Ignition On and other signals!
Malfunctions are signaled audibly and generate error messages and partially interrupt the test or stop the
test from being started.
If one of the definable monitoring values is violated, an alarm text is displayed and the system is stopped.
The communication with the APA 100’s power control unit via the fieldbus interface is cyclically
monitored.
7RUTXH0HDVXUHPHQW
The torque measuring system consists of a torque load measuring unit and the measured value processing
and digital display within EMCON.
In the torque load measuring unit a "load cell" is used as load detector. The load implied by the dynos
lever is measured with strain gauges. The high spring tension of this torque load measurement is a big
advantage.
When measuring with the load cell you should pay attention to the following
• stay within the defined temperature range.
• don’t change the temperature faster than 5 K/h.
• avoid direct radiant heat on the load cell; if necessary use a shield.
• the load cell must be grounded to the base plate with a flexible cable.
EMCON can also process a ±10 V signal to acquire the torque value.

The APA 100 generally uses optical sensors (Heidenheim speed impulse sensors).
The number of lines depends on the maximum speed (10 000 rpm = 1024 lines).
The speed signal can be connected to the EMCON either via a signal splitter or directly. EMCON
provides two speed values; that which is directly measured and the one transmitted via the fieldbus. The
signals are continuously compared. If they differ, the system is stopped.
