  1. An industry funded project sponsored by EFI Electronics Team Members DJ Burton Jason England Justin McKinnon Justin Prince Titan-40wCell Redesign

  2. Agenda Schedule Update Benchmarking Budget Update Critical Function Prototype

  3. Schedule Update • On schedule • Key dates • Oct. 15: Benchmarking accomplished • Nov. 10: PLC program completed • Nov. 26: PLC program testing completed • Dec. 5: CFP complete • Things to work on • PLC program • Design fixtures

  4. Benchmarking Benchmarked Items • Current test cell • Controller (PLC/Computer) • Wire secure/connect device • Actuators

  5. Benchmarking Titan-40w Test Cell Current Titan-40w Test Cell Pros: • It works Cons: • Operator interaction • Operator error • Slow • No data storage Voltmeter Operator control “Suicide clips” Courtesy efi Electronics

  6. Benchmarking PLC PLC Control Pros • Simple program • Sufficient input/output • Compact • Available Cons • No data storage www.electrodepot.com/al10mrd.htm

  7. Benchmarking PC PC Control Pros • Processing speed • Handles mass data • Data storage Cons • Cost • Programming • Size www.dell.com

  8. Benchmarking “Suicide Clips” “Suicide Clips” Pros • Simple/Quick • Off the shelf part • Visual check Cons • Safety • Malfunction Courtesy efi Electronics

  9. Benchmarking Linear Actuators Linear Actuators Pros • Range of motion • COTS part • Automation Cons • Cost • Durability http://www.linearmotion.skf.com

  10. Benchmarking Probe Pros • Off the shelf part • Cost • Multiple configurations Cons • Wire prep • Control Probe Example http://www.connect2it.com

  11. Budget Update • Industry-Funded by EFI Electronics • Expenditures to Date: $500 (PLC & Misc.) • Approved Budget to Date: • $300 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) • $1200 2000V Transformer • $700 Linear Actuator Kit • $450 Misc. Parts

  12. Critical Function Prototype • Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) • Provides project automation. • Programmed to complete test accurately. • Operates all components of testing fixture.

  13. Critical Function Prototype • Why? • Current programming method at EFI • Easy to learn • Size

  14. Critical Function Prototype • Learning • Is automation possible? • Incorporate next stages of project? • Goals • Functional PLC by Spring ‘07 • Focus attention on Wire Testing

  15. Conclusion • Schedule Update • Benchmarking • Budget Update • Critical Function Prototype
