Electric drive systems are incredible feats of engineering, but they’re also incredibly complex, so when something goes wrong, they can quickly turn into a puzzle. A typical system brings together a motor, an inverter, a gearbox, and a controller – each of which may be designed by different teams or sourced from different suppliers. Getting all of these components to work seamlessly is no small task.
When you integrate these parts, unexpected behaviour is almost guaranteed. For example, when you apply a torque step and the response isn’t what you expected. Maybe there’s a resonance between your control algorithm and the machine. Maybe the inverter isn’t behaving as it should. These issues can stall development, making troubleshooting one of the most difficult and time-consuming phases of bringing electric drive systems to market.
By recording large amounts of data across the system – with a common time step and common filters – engineers gain the clarity they need to pinpoint problems.
With unified data, you can start answering critical questions:
A common data acquisition system ties everything together. By measuring the motor, inverter, controller, and mechanical system in sync, engineers can see the bigger picture – and the root causes – much faster.
The result? More effective troubleshooting, reduced delays, and a smoother path to market. In an industry where timing is everything, the ability to diagnose and fix problems quickly is a competitive advantage.
Explore how unified data acquisition can transform your approach and keep your projects on track.
