Modal analysis with stepper motor positioning

Complete measurement cycle with axis control.

What it is about
Station: FRF-Messzelle Physical hardware: Beckhoff EL7031 Category: Modal & FRF analysis

Automated modal analysis on a cube test specimen with stepper-motor-controlled positioning (Beckhoff stepper motor terminal EL7031). After every measurement run the specimen is rotated by one increment through a motion controller task so that several geometry points are excited and measured one after the other; when finished, the motor returns to the zero position. The characteristic calculation is based on FRF spectra — as a single-channel variant and as a MIMO block for multi-channel evaluation. Operator guidance through LED output and a start button.

The sequence in detail

Workflows in detail

  1. ModalAnalysis (test sequence)

    Complete measurement cycle with axis control.

    Start → initialise → main loop (ready/LED on → start button trigger → modal loop with impulse outputs → motor increment) → motor zero position → end; error flow with trigger and output.

  2. ModalAnalysis / FRF MIMO

    Characteristic blocks for single-channel and multi-channel FRF calculation.

    Characteristic start → FRF spectrum → characteristic end.
