Duty cycle

Among the Standard Duty Cycle Integration: users can select the S9 mode which corresponds to the user-definied mode.

S9 (user-defined mode)

In addition to the previous IEC-standard duty types a user-defined one (S9 mode) can be defined.

Figure 1. New Duty settings with the four choices S9, S1, S2, and S3

User working point(s) analysis = Duty cycle

This allows computing the machine performance all over a customized duty cycle.

This duty cycle must be defined by using the field: "Duty cycle description" and by clicking on the button "Set values" (index 1 in the image above)

Two ways are possible to fill in the table: either filling in the table line by line or by importing an excel file which all the working points of the duty cycle are defined.

Note: A working point is defined by a time, a speed, and a mechanical torque.

Note: Once the test results have been computed, new user working point and duty cycle values can be set, and results will appear instantaneously when relaunching the test.

Table 1. User working point analysis = Duty cycle – Dialog box to define the duty cycle

1	Dialog box opened after having clicked on the button “Set values” in the field “Cycle description”
2	Browse the folder to select an Excel file which describes the duty cycle
2.1	Excel file template to define the duty cycle
3	Button to refresh the table data when the considered Excel file has been modified
4	Fields to be filled with data to describe the duty cycle to be considered.
5	Validate the data inputs
6	Erase the data table

Note: The Excel template used to import a duty cycle is stored in the folder Resource/Template in the installation folder of FluxMotor.
