EMS DATA ACQUISITION AND

Electric Power / Controls MANAGEMENT (LVDAM-EMS)
0.2 kW MODEL 9062

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lab-Volt Data Acquisition and Management for
Electromechanical Systems (LVDAM-EMS),
Model 9062, is a computer-based system for measuring,
observing, and analyzing electrical and mechanical
parameters in electric power systems and power
electronics circuits. It allows training in various areas,
such as electric power technology, AC/DC machines,
and power electronics, using modern and versatile
measuring instruments. The user guide (P/N 36221-E0)
provided with the LVDAM-EMS system allows students
to become familiar with the instruments quickly.
The LVDAM-EMS system consists of a data
acquisition interface (DAI) module and the Lab-Volt
software Data Acquisition and Management for
Electromechanical Systems (LVDAM-EMS). The
LVDAM-EMS system is an add-on to several Lab-Volt
systems, such as the 0.2-kW Electromechanical Training
System, Model 8001, the Power Electronics Training
System, Model 8032, and the 0.2-kW Electric Power
Transmission Training System, Model 8055. It is a
standard feature of the Lab-Volt Computer-Assisted
0.2-kW Electromechanical Training System, Model 8006.

EMS DATA ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT (LVDAM-EMS)
MODEL 9062
Data Acquisition Interface
The Data Acquisition Interface (DAI) module consists of
isolation and data acquisition units. The isolation unit
converts high-level voltages and currents measured in
electric power systems and power electronics circuits
into low-level signals, and routes these signals to the
data acquisition unit. The data acquisition unit converts
the low-level signals into digital numbers (data) that are
sent to the personal computer that runs the LVDAM-
EMS software.
The DAI module has isolated voltage and current
inputs fitted with 4-mm banana safety jacks, which can
be connected to AC or DC power circuits. Low-level
inputs for torque and speed measurement can be
connected to the Prime Mover / Dynamometer,
Model 8960, which provides output signals proportional
to torque and speed. Eight software-programmable, low-
level, auxiliary analog inputs allow measurement of
additional circuit parameters. Two analog outputs, also
software-programmable, allow direct control of the Prime
Mover / Dynamometer, or of the Power Electronics
modules to which they are connected. All inputs and
outputs are protected against wrong connections and
overvoltage/overcurrent conditions. The user guide
included with the DAI module provides detailed
information about the module operation.
LVDAM-EMS INSTRUMENTS
Metering
The DAI module is available in two versions:
Models 9062-1 and 9062-B. The DAI module,
Model 9062-1, is enclosed in a half-height standard EMS
module. This version requires 24-V AC power available
in the Lab-Volt training systems mentioned above. The
DAI module, Model 9062-B, is a bench-top version with
a built-in power supply. It can be powered from any
standard wall outlet.
Interconnection between the DAI module and the
computer is made through a standard USB cable
included with the module.
LVDAM-EMS Software
The LVDAM-EMS software consists of a set of
conventional and specialized instruments that run on an
IBM®-compatible personal computer under the
Microsoft® Windows® operating environment. Each
instrument appears as a window on the computer
screen. The conventional instruments include AC/DC
voltmeters and ammeters, power meters, and an eight-
channel oscilloscope. The specialized instruments
include a six-channel phasor analyzer, a harmonic
analyzer, a spectrum analyzer, torque, speed, and
mechanical power meters, and six user-programmable
meters. The LVDAM-EMS software is also provided with
data-recording and graph-plotting facilities. The various
instruments are briefly described in the next section of
this datasheet.
The Metering window can include up to eighteen meters,
which can be configured for measuring voltage and
current, electrical power (active, reactive, and apparent),
torque, speed, mechanical power, etc. The voltage and
current meters have several modes of operation that
allow measurement of the mean (DC) value, RMS value,
crest factor, RMS value of a particular harmonic (up to
the 15th), RMS value of the harmonics, and total
harmonic distortion (THD). Six of the eighteen meters
are user-programmable for access to a larger variety of
functions, allowing measurement of power factor,
efficiency, impedance, frequency, energy, phase shift,
etc. The arrangement (layout) of the meters in the
Metering window can be customized by the user.
Data Table and Graph
The values indicated by the various meters in the
Metering window, as well as values measured by the
other instruments in LVDAM-EMS, can be recorded in
the Data Table window with a click of the mouse. The
values recorded in the Data Table can be saved to a file
(ASCII-formatted file). The recorded data can also be
used to plot graphs by selecting which parameter(s) to
plot in the Graph window. This allows lab results to be
plotted quickly and easily. More sophisticated graphs
can be created by exporting the contents of the Data
Table window to any popular spreadsheet program, such
as Microsoft® Excel® directly through the Windows®
Clipboard.

Oscilloscope
The Oscilloscope can display up to eight waveforms
simultaneously. The waveforms are displayed using
different colors to simplify identification. Each channel
has independent vertical controls similar to those found
on conventional oscilloscopes. An automatic scale-
setting function allows the sensitivity of each channel to
be set automatically according to the magnitude of the
observed parameter. The time base and trigger controls
are similar to those found on most oscilloscopes to
simplify adjustment. The RMS value, average value, and
frequency of each of the observed parameters can be
displayed in a table in the Oscilloscope window. Two
vertical cursors can be activated to perform precise
measurements at particular points on the displayed
waveforms. The Oscilloscope has two memories for
saving the displayed waveforms.

MODEL 9062

Phasor Analyzer
The innovative Phasor Analyzer allows students to
analyze AC power circuits with the phasors related to
voltages and currents instead of the values and
waveforms of these voltages and currents. Circuit
voltages and currents can be monitored easily for
relative amplitudes and phase differences simply by
looking at their respective phasors on the Phasor
Analyzer display. This produces a unique and dynamic
display of the voltages and currents in a circuit
(especially in three-phase circuits) that cannot be
obtained with conventional instruments. The RMS value,
phase angle, and frequency of the voltage or current
related to each phasor is displayed in a table in the
Phasor Analyzer window.

Harmonic Analyzer
The Harmonic Analyzer allows observation and analysis
of the harmonic components in voltages and currents.
The fundamental frequency can be set to the AC power
network frequency, set manually by the user, or set
automatically to the frequency of the fundamental
component of the selected voltage or current. The
number of harmonic components displayed can be
varied between 5 and 40. The harmonic components of
the selected voltage or current can be displayed using a
vertical scale graduated in either absolute or relative
values. Various vertical scale settings are available. A
group of data displays in the Harmonic Analyzer
indicates the values of the DC component, fundamental
component, and harmonic components of the selected
voltage or current, as well as the total harmonic
distortion (THD). Vertical and horizontal cursors can be
activated to perform precise measurements at particular
points on the display.
Spectrum Analyzer
The Spectrum Analyzer allows frequency-domain
observation and analysis of voltages and currents. It is
a frequency-selective instrument that measures the level
of the frequency components in the selected voltage or
current, and displays the results on a graduated screen.
The vertical scale of the screen can be either linear or
logarithmic. The center frequency is set manually or
using the Seek function which searches for the next
frequency component in the observed spectrum. Various
frequency spans can be selected to display the observed
frequency spectrum. Vertical and horizontal cursors can
be activated to perform precise measurements at
particular points on the frequency spectrum displayed on
the graduated screen. The Spectrum Analyzer has two
memories for saving frequency spectra.
