Time-synchronous averaging (TSA) on a fan coast-down

Simulates the switch-off process and starts the TSA analysis.

What it is about
Station: Variable Speed TSA Simulation Category: Testing rotating machinery

Calculates the time-synchronous average at variable speed in an application-like scenario: a desk fan is switched off at 2400 RPM and comes to a standstill in about 5 seconds due to air resistance. Tacho and vibration signal are simulated by signal generators. The characteristic calculation cuts a 2.5 second section out of the tacho signal, determines speed and pulse positions, calculates the TSA signal (corresponding to one shaft revolution) and transforms it through FFT.

The sequence in detail

Workflows in detail

  1. Fan Switchoff

    Simulates the switch-off process and starts the TSA analysis.

    Start → signal generator tacho → signal generator vibration → time-synchronous average analysis → end; error flow present.

  2. Time-Synchronous Average

    Characteristic block.

    Characteristic start → trim tacho signal to 2.5 s → calculate RPM → determine pulse positions → calculate TSA → FFT → characteristic end.
