Software upgrade benefits electric inverters and drives
HBM
Version 6.60 of the high-speed Perception software (photo) provides new capabilities that make it easier to perform high-speed data acquisition on electric inverters and drive systems. It can quickly process large amounts of data — for instance, 100 GB within 10 s — when performing live torque and rotational-speed measurements and calculations, says the company. The software’s new eDrive application allows users to visualize torque and rotational speed as live curves. Version 6.60 allows users to create individual “workbenches” that can be defined with distinct restrictions, test functions and capabilities. Password-protection capabilities safeguard key settings, protocols and formulas used in calculations from unwanted access, and intentional or unintentional changes. — HBM, Marlborough, Mass.
