  8. RT – Top Level

  9. RT – Main Timed Loop Timed Loop – 10 msec period Timed Loop • Flow: Read sensorsProcessControl Actuators • Notice the use of CalPoints instead of Native Controls/Indicators (NI-SCM features) • Native Indicators are used for passing local variables for neatness and for diagnostic purposes

  10. RT – Read Inputs VI • Collection of readings from EPT block and input modules: 9411 Digital Input, AD Combo, 9853 CAN • Also includes many critical parameters reported from all modules such as module temperatures, critical voltage levels, faults, etc • There is also user-defined thresholds for critical engine parameters: Oil P, Coolant T & P • Variables to be used for controls are bundled into a type-def cluster for neatness

  11. RT – Processing/Control Frame • This frame consists of SubVIs shown on the right • These subVIs typically contains 1D or 2D Table(s), PID controller or user-defined calculations • Each subVI is customizable • There is a VI template for every subVI for reference and for building RT app from scratch

  12. RT – Write Outputs VI • Write commands to various Drive Modules • Leverage SubVIs built in the PC Device Drivers • Note extensive use of CalPoints

  13. RT – Combustion Analysis Option • When Combustion Analysis Toolkit is purchased, a license will be provided • This will allow user to interface with the DAQ hardware and have access to Combustion Analysis VIs • These VIs are to be dropped into the Top Level RT VI just like that of the FPGA VI

  14. RT -- Next Cycle Control Capability Closed Loop Fuel timing control on CA 50 Combustion data from CAS

  15. RT – Other Items • DI Scope VI can be added for each DI Driver Module for quick diagnostic of current profile when operating Solenoid injectors. • Don’t forget to turn Scope ON in the FPGA • Slow Speed Loop available for logging slow speed, asynchronous data.

  16. ECS User Interface TCP/IP Indicators Controls

  17. ECS Demo Demo Time!!!

  18. Conclusion • NI-PCG has designed and constructed a flexible/modular Engine Control System with sufficiently large I/O counts, and open-source application • Optional Combustion data acquisition and analysis software which lends itself to feedback control (Next Cycle Control) • This Open source application will be polished within the next few months prior to its projected release in Q4 this year
