Random EM noise filtering of a big motor 3 phases?

Hi all

First of all, an overview of the system: we have a system for the acquisition of data running Labview, two cards PCI-6225, a PCI-6224 and a card PCI-6254.  All connections made sink SCB-68 terminals.  All power supplies for instrumentation and the series through closets DAQ isolation transformers.  In addition, most of the lines are the lines of the shielded twisted pair and are run from the test table for blocks of DAQ connection through conduit to the ground. The signals that we have problems with are measured to 1kS/s per channel on the cards PCI-6225.

In normal operation, the signals are clean.  Where we have problems, it's with a test set, we need to run where we use a big motor 3 phases used to drive an engine test of rotating machines.  The table is bolted to the same large metal table as the test instrumentation.  When the engine turns, our data own nice becomes a fuzzy caterpillar in anger.  The noise does not appear to be a specific frequency and in raw data, it appears as a single-point, relatively high amplitude blips.  I would say overall amplitude is 10 s of mVs.

A low-pass filter of material removed a large amount of noise, but we do not have enough hardware filters for each channel.  I tried to use a software filter (Butterworth with entries that are similar to the hardware filters) and he smooth to blips and decreases their overall amplitude, but is not nearly as effective as the filter material.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Hunter

Hi all

I wanted to just give some closure on it.  After trial and error and a lot of phone calls to businesses VFD, we have reduced the noise source to the inverter.  The difficulty (and more than 98% of the noise is now gone) is a Sin on the output wave filter (go through the engine) and a reator on the entry (from the power of the installation).  If you want not spent a lot of money on a filter air sin, just put a reactor on the output of the inverter reduces the noise nearly 80%.

Best regards and thanks for the help!

  • Random clicking noise

    I hope I still have it in the right forum...

    I am currently working on my first Captivate project. There's nothing crazy. Just a narration with animations, some buttons which pause the screen and start demonstrations. When I saw, everything looks great. When I publish... the mouse clicking sound crazy. There seems to be mice randomly clicking noises through the presentation and I can't understand why. I disabled all the sounds of mouse of every possible place I can think to try.

    Is this a bug or maybe something be causing it? Let me know if I need to provide any other information. I am using Captivate 2 and have tested on IE and Firefox browsers.

    Looks like we are on the right track?

    Please, try the following:

    Open the file of one of the on-board demos cp and make sure the sound of the mouse is not active for this one. To be sure that double, using your previous method of the switch and bait for the sound and select new white noise. The fastest way is to go to the table of Storyboard view, select all the slides, click with the right button on one of these, select mouse, see mouse. Right-click again, select mouse, properties for the mouse sound - select the empty sound.

  • My iphone 6 do each time random static noise in the speakers or earpod

    Lately my Iphone 6 doing the crazy static noise that I have to remove the phone from my ear so fast. Whenever someone calling me or when I tried to use the phone. It's very random when it happens, but I'm frustrated because it looks like it's a set-up or relating to software apple has on their phone, because people are either whining about being too weak or too strong like me. I want to know what is the problem with the phone! When I get a call sometimes my phone told me that I received a call until I have look in my call and see a miss call, or lately he lost service in my room with a bar and this problem never happen again, I'm very * off so can someone explain to me what is the problem?

    First of all, force reboot the phone by now the sleep and home for 10 seconds, button until the Apple logo comes back again. You will lose all data by doing this, but it can cure a few glitches.

    If it does not, and to make sure that this isn't related software, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

    If the phone works as expected, restore the last backup. If the problem returns, the data backup contains damaged data, causing your issues.

    If it still does not respond, it is a hardware problem and the phone must be repaired by Apple or an Apple authorized Service Provider:

  • Random signal noise appears on Satellite C650

    My C650 has an occasional beep.
    It can't happen days or even weeks, and then it starts to beep.
    It of a single beep do not last more than a second. It occurs intermittently.

    The sound signal can be every 10 minutes or not 20 minutes.
    Overheating doesn't seem to be a problem, no program either.
    When it is in "beep mode" unless it is in use or not! It's just very annoying.

    All solutions?

    Hello

    This beep does appear in Windows, or when it happens?

    Normally, such a beep code would mean a hardware malfunction is detected, but this happens before Windows starts so that s really strange, I would recommend load default settings and also try a BIOS update.

  • Problems with encoder motor switching noise readings

    Hi all

    I wanted to ask advice with a hardware problem which seems to be pretty common.

    Here I describe my request:

    We are controlling an electric actuator for robotics application. We use encoders to take position readings, and we need to perform analog acquisition for other measures (for example, the force measured using strain gauges).

    The problem is:

    In summary, I have problems to properly acquire position readings of a linear encoders quadrature and also a few analog inputs. The cause is the switching noise generated by the drive motor that we use (which is an engine without Stricker of CC Moog BN-23-23).

    Our acquisition platform is an NI PXI-8106 with a PXI-1042 q chassis. We have two possibilities to acquire the signals. We have a multifunction DAQ series NI PXI-6259 M and a FlexRIO NI PXI-7951R with one module DIO NI PXI-6581R.

    The switching noise have a frequency of 30 kHz. In a scope, we see a series of peaks of noise which are present only during a short period of time (approximately 1/10th of the duration of the noise). The rest of the time the noise is not present.

    The Accelnet amplification module that powers the electric motor gives us a clock signal synchronized with the noise (whose frequency is approximately 1/4 frequency noise). This clock signal provides a way to solve the problem of analog acquisition. We can use this clock to make an acquisition stamped with an external clock in LabView connecting the clock on a spit of PFI or FPGA card. But the noise is also corrupt this clock signal (we get an error daqmx us warning of possible defects in the clock signal and also to stop the acquisition). I believe that to solve the problem of encoder we can also solve the problem of the analog acquisition.

    In the encoder readings noise makes our County to counter upward or backward gradually fast enough. We can get an increase in the position of about 10 cm per second with no appreciable movement in the linear actuator.

    It would be a great help if someone could put the solution he uses to solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    jespestana

    PS: I stress my conviction that we have a hardware problem, because we have only bad readings when the electric motor does not work. I am therefore convinced because we have already done reading encoder and analog with the help of other players, such as hydraulic cylinders. So, I think that it is not a problem with our software (of our LabView VI).

    Hi jespestana,

    I don't know why the noise could be the cause of your encoder can increase more slowly...  However I have a suggestion on the map of the M series (6259):

    M-series cards have a digital filter integrated on the lines of the PFI (see the user manual of M series).  Looks like the noise is a series of 3 ~ US of impulses (1/10 to 1/30 kHz).  Of the available filtering frequencies that you can set on your M series is 6,425 US, which must ignore the impulses (high or low) that are less than 6,425 US. You can configure the digital filtering with a property node DAQmx:

    One caveat is that the driver only allows you to configure the digital filtering for entries counter on M Series devices.  For example, you can use a digital filtering directly on your task of encoder, but not for your sample clock HAVE.  A workaround can be found here, which is to set up a dummy counter job to define the PFI filter for your task to HAVE.  If you use the same PFI line for your encoder and the task to HAVE it, you should be able to just set up the PFI filter through the task of the encoder and worry for the workaround.

    Regarding the RIO Flex, I think that you could implement something similar on the FPGA, but I'm probably not the best person to comment on this subject.  It would be probably a lot more work to use the DAQmx API's built-in filtering.

  • Filtering of noise - OR 9361

    Hello everyone,

    I use a NI 9361 module to measure the speed of rotation of a shaft that rotates through an electric motor.

    I am faced with loud noises because of this electric motor; When I run it, my meter directly measure frequencies up to 1 MHz, even when my tree is not running. I can't see the same phenomena when I'm looking at the edge of counting results...

    I tried to use the pulse width filter inside my Labview application to filter the signal but I couldn't find anything sufficient.

    Anyone who has ever faced with this kind of question, and if so, is there a solution to cope?

    I thank of altogether.

    You use a shielded sensor connection?  You can also try to raise the level of signal on the 9361 threshold if you CSR.

  • How can I remove the noise of a signal?

    Hello world

    I need to extract the phase of a signal of 1.5 Hz which has little noise (see attachment files) and MAX I was recording the signal to 500 Hz. I use the filter of Labview tool value 'smoothing' with a factor equal to 3. Could someone tell me if using the right tool for what I want to do? If so, is-3 a correct number of retativaly? Looking at the result of the signal is much better.

    Thank you

    User

    here still to play

    I did not use the ordinary filter, but also more you know about the original signal, the better your filter or fitting can be.

    If you know it should be a sinus (maybe even with a constant frequency) and you want the phase, go with detection of tone or a linear adjustment...

    the median filter is good against the spikes, the filter of SG will make an adjustment of polynomial (original designed for adjustment of Spectra but it's also nice noise with propper settings)

    Uups, the pic was taken without median filter...

    If you tell us more about the signal, we could offer best filter.  And keep in mind that most of the filters have an influence on the phase of the signal (late phase/group).

  • Cut noise of waveform

    Hi all

    I read some TDMS files I created during data acquisition. The thing is that when there is no input, I pick up a low amplitude noise (low compared to what I am probing) which of course was recorded in my files.

    I want to set a threshold of amplitude of the signal cut. So when the amplitude is less than this limit, the waveform will be all zeros and when she is at or above that threshold I will deal with my original wave normally.

    I tried to do it with a case structure (REAL: output is a constant of waveform elements, of zeros and the initial stage of dt-FAKE: get the original waveform without any editing) decision but accidents of VI.

    Could someone suggest an effective way to achieve this? If not with the decision-making process but the noise filters? My analysis VI already performs many calculations, so I would do something very simple and intuitive without compromising the resources of the processor.

    Thank you very much

    So that we can reproduce and fix the crash, it'll be great if you could post an example VI as well as some example data.

    With respect to the threshold, it seems that you might be looking for something like this:

  • Why my PhotoSmart 7520 'wakes up' at random?

    Two weeks ago, I acquired a printer Photosmart HP 7520.  He woke up at random times of the day.  This would make its startup chime, the HP logo appears on the screen and the heads would do a little check to 10-15 years.  I have disabled everything I can think of that could trigger this (Webapps, eprint, etc.).  My best guess is that there is a software bug somewhere in the printer that is causing the software to crash, and it is restarted.

    I called HP, and the person suggested that it was abnormal behavior.  So I picked up the printer to the store and exchanged.

    The new 7520, I did exactly the same thing.  Before I return to the store and buy a different product, I thought I would make a last attempt see if there is a way to stop this.

    It is incredibly annoying to have involuntary random when noise electronics.  Especially in the middle of the night.

  • How to change the order of the column OR the addition of a space ' ' in front of a filtering value

    I'm using Oracle Dashboard OBIEE 11. I have a bar chart that contains three columns 'less than 1 day', '1 to 2 days' and 'more than 2 days. It is produced by the following code.

    CASE WHEN TIMESTAMPDIFF (SQL_TSI_DAY, "breakdown of DSR" "." ") Was held Date', 'DSR failure". ("" Resolved to Date ") < 1 THEN 'less than 1 day' WHEN TIMESTAMPDIFF (SQL_TSI_DAY,"Failure of DSR". "Occurred Date", "breakdown of DSR" "." " Resolved Date") > = 1 AND TIMESTAMPDIFF (SQL_TSI_DAY," breakdown of DSR"". "") Was held Date', 'DSR failure". ("" Resolved to Date ") < = 2 THEN 1 to 2 days WHEN TIMESTAMPDIFF (SQL_TSI_DAY," breakdown of DSR"". "") Was held Date', 'DSR failure". ("" Resolved to Date ") > 2 THEN 'more than 2 days' END

    NOTE the space "" which is just before "less than a day" which is in bold in the above code. Well, then the reason why I did is if the bar graph CONTROL is proving to be "less than one day" first, then "1-2 days" comes in second, and then 'more than 2 days' comes in last.

    NOW, I created an action link that goes to a details page that is filtered by the big piece of code above. The PROBLEM is that filtering somehow removes the space in front of "less than 1 day" and does not recognize this filter. Oh woe me.

    Okay, so the two solutions I can think is:

    1 remove the space in front of 'less than a day', BUT then the bar chart is ordered by 1 to 2 days, 'less than 1 day' and 'more than 2 days. Yuck. How to reorganize the bar chart?

    OR

    2. let the link action recognize that there is a SPACE in front of "less than a day." How to do the link action acknowledge that DESPITE me already put in 'less than 1 day'... < review space forward > GAHHHHH T_T

    ~ Kevin Sun

    Hey Kevin,

    In this kind of situation, I usually take the option of 2 columns: same BOX WHEN once put in numerical values (in your case can be 1, 2, 3 or something like that), and once put in labels (without spaces or any other thing in front, just real label).

    The first with numerical values is hidden and serves to force the second sorting.

    In this case, your link action passes the correct value and everything will work. And in the case where a while, you need to change all your labels or something else you can do without thinking about what character to put in front of your labels to fix your sorting.

  • Help wanted with cell to daq wiring and grounding

    Hello

    I am acquiring data to a load cell using a NOR-USB-6211 OEM Board.  Under certain conditions, I see big spikes in the data that I think are caused by noise.  The DAQ card also produces an analog signal 0 - 10V for a controller of AC actuator to control its output. The current configuration is:

    Analog input: load cell Novatech wired to a Novatech "LMS" (strain gauge amplifier).  Output 0 - 10V of this amplifier is connected to terminals GND AI on the map and HAVE 0.  I use CSR configuration.

    Link to CMS Manual [url]http://www.novatechloadcells.co.uk/pdf/sgamanual.pdf[url]

    Analog output. Son connected to terminals GND AO and AO 0. Configuration of terminal CSR.

    I have attached a diagram of installation

    I understand that the GND AO and AI GND terminals are connected.  My concern is that little noise is created by AC motor controller, and it interferes with the action of the load cell. Can is this possible and if someone suggest a better configuration to avoid this situation if so? I think that at some point, one of my negative wires must be based, but I don't know which.

    Thank you very much.

    John

    OK - Thanks for the quick response. Tomorrow, I will try to acquire the load cell data using Different configuration. Perhaps this will help you reduce the noise.

  • Relative humidity, Irradiance, Vibration, pH and density

    Hi, I have a question here:

    Is there a National Instruments Data Acquisition product compatible with several sensors measuring moisture Relative Irradiance, Vibration, pH and density? If Yes, what are the requirements for each type of sensor compatible with the DAQ product?

    1. as a first step, you define your needs. (Range, resolution, refresh rate, traceable accuraty?,..., price)

    2. what you need to find sensors (or systems) that fullfill your needs. (According to 1. which can sometimes be difficult )

    3. If you have the choice between sensors/systems:

    DAQ with input voltage is the most common, some sensors need to 'special' voltage input: low voltage, noise filtering for Thermocouple, pH-sensors at very high impedance if connected without bufferamplifier.

    Industrial sensors often come with a 10V output voltage or current loop output (20mA). Usually, they are robust, well specified, come in almost all sorts of flavors... but they are pricey (you get what you pay for)

    Vibration sensor want load amplifier or (more common), a current excitation (IEPE).

    Type of bridge or sensors magnetoresistifs want a voltage excitation.

    Specific gravity sounds like a complete system so perhaps a direct connection to the PC through serial / USB or Ethernet is possible or necessary, but could be a high-resolution DC-accelerometer or a<10$ mems="" with="" a="" i2c="" connection="" that="" would="" need="" a="" digital="" io="">

    Irradiance might be something between a LDR/Photdiode and a RADIUS parser...

    Next: Do you need it high laptop 24/7, reliable, flexible...?

    A PXI system may be required or maybe a multi USB DAQ IO is fine (about two to three orders of price difference )

    In any case I'm shure you can do with hardware and LabVIEW

  • Average timed

    Hello

    I am collected signals every 200 ms for 5 minutes on average. I already know how to install a loop and get an average of iternations N, but that is basically just noise filtering... I want to take all values over 5 minutes and then on average to get an average 5 min my signal.

    What I'm trying to do in the end, it's to get an average 5 min my signal and use a shift register to hold that the average value to use as my 'initial value' or the start-up pressure in my case. I then use this starting as pressure and calculate the increase in pressure per cent over time. After say 30% increase in the average pressure of 5 min I run a sequence of cleaning the filter and repeat the process and get another 5 min way to use my new initial value. Basically, I know how to do all this, but I am just hurt with averaging values... and I tried all sorts of things to the table and looked at examples for hours and still could not understand...

    First of all, I'm trying to make it work on a simple labview (attached image) program, and once I figured out I'm going to work on my actual program...

    I'm using labview 8...

    I thought I saved it for version 8.0, but maybe not.  Try this one.  I think it is close to what you are looking for.

  • Butterworth amplitude

    I generates a white noise of an amplitude of 100.  Then I go through a Butterworth bandpass filter with 50 and 150 for the high and low frequency bandpass settings.  I find myself with a noise filtered with an amplitude of 20 (more or less).

    Why the filter reduces the amplitude of the filtered noise?  I noticed that if I increase the range of bandpass parameters (for example, 50 to 500), amplitude reduction is a little less.

    I tried other filters and Chebychev seems to be a little better, but it does still not anywhere close to the amplitude of the original signal.

    I admit that my knowledge of signal processing is limited.  Can someone help me with this problem?  Is there a setting that will give me the best results?

    Thanks for your replies.

    I was under the impression that white noise with an amplitude of 10 when it is passed through a filter would result in filtered amplitude noise 10.  But now I see why I was wrong.  White noise is the sum of the sine waves of different frequencies;  for example, when you filter on certain frequencies, amplitude (which is a sum) will be lower.

    And thanks for the tips on the standardization of the amplitude after filtering.  That's what I'll do.

  • Is - what antialiasing does not work for the scxi 1141?

    Hello

    uses a chassis PXI-1052 with a DAQ 6052E for dynamic analysis.  I use a module SCXI 1140 cascading with a filter of 1141 , SCXI and 1120 SCXI D amplifier. My goal is to achieve low noise, filtered data. I have set up my gear so that data travels in SCXI 1120D ahead in parallel with the SCXI - 1141 and in parallel with SCXI 1140. In short, I want to test if the smoothing works. I generated a sinusoidal data with a frecvency of 600 Hz rates and sample of 1024 and I got an alias of 424Hz. The filter is disable. The alias does not disappear when I activate the filter with a cut-off of 500 Hz frecvency. What's wrong. What is antialiasing working for this module? My channels is set to traditional NI-DAQ title.

    Hi Avi,

    I'm having a hard time trying to reconstruct how samples are defined and how your signal is actually routing through material.  Is the 1120D on the front of the 1141 and then the 1140 is in the slot next to those?  You said there were many things in parallel and now I'm confused.  Thanks for the clarification!
