PowerLink® FC3000 Engine Automatic Test and Control System Software

PowerLink® FC3000 Software Introduction

The PowerLink® FC3000 control system software is for automatic engine testing, control and data processing. The followings are the major advantages for this engine testing software.

  • The DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) technique is applied.

  • User can insert/ delete control parameters and to modify/ adjust through the display interface.

  • Parameters such as rotational speed, torque, power and temperature can be collected in real-time.

  • Fuel consumption and smoke analysis can be measured.

  • The trend curve of rotational speed, torque, power, exhaust gas temperature can be plotted in real-time

  • Instant mode can be carried on by setting default control method and default work condition parameters.

  • The programmable work control function is applied to run the preset loading and speed property testing.

  • The alert protection of parameters out-range is employed and alert time and conditions can be saved.

  • The BDE technique is applied for database engine. The test data is saved as dbf format.

  • All calibrated calculations are under the international standards.

  • All tested data can be read anytime and modified.

  • All data report can be printed. The report template can be selected from standard or manual.

  • All test data curves can be created and are ready to print out.

  • User authorization system is employed to ensure the data and software safety.

FC3000 Modules Introduction



FC3000 Major Functional and Technical Characters

  • The CAN bus communication protocol conforms the international standard ISO11898.

  • Network property allows to link up different measuring systems

  • Non-contact digital potentiometers are applied.

  • The system stability can be maintained by the digital PID with rotational speed and loading.

  • All controllable properties can be switched without any interference.

  • The modular design improves the simplicity and reliability

  • LCD displays all measuring parameters with user-friendly interface

  • User password system ensures operation and parameter setting authority

  • Three different alert levels (warning/ protection/ emergency stop) can be selected.

  • System software is fully functional and can be extensible.

  • User can select different kinds of non-linear output sensors with the FC3000 systems.

FC3000 System Protection Function

FC3000 consists engine and dynamometer protection circuits. On engine side, there are protections such as variable engine speed, over-speed, low lubrication oil pressure etc. Besides, on dynamometer, the protections such as loss of coolant and low pressure are existed. Other parametric protection can be set by keyboard manually.

The system contains three levels alert protections which are warning, protect or emergency process actions. Operator can set the upper and lower limits on keyboard for ascending and descending the alert data. When the above alert limit is reached, the following actions will be taken.

1. <Warning>: For this protection, the system will emit warning sound and the specific data will be flashed on display. Warning sound can be stopped by pressing return key but the data will still be flashed.

2. <Protection>: For this protection, system will shut down throttle and set the loading to be around 30%.

3. <Emergency action>: For the emergency stop, the emergency stop button is pressed and after controlling by circuit and software, the throttle will be zero and loading drops to half. The engine stop magnetic is then driven (Reaction force of the magnetic is 100N, the path is larger than 40mm). The engine stop handle will be pulled (for diesel engine) or the gasoline throttle will be closed (for gasoline engine). The above method can ensure the urgent engine stop in a safe way.
