EPC CommandModeTest Description

2017-12-12 - 11:47 | Version 4 |

Test basic Command Mode functionality (for the time being only 'DC pulsed mode')
  • check interfaces
  • switch state 'on' and 'off'
  • do simple low-level device trims + actual vs. reference comparison checks

Some variable definition (to be shifted to LSA/device specific variables)
  • I_MIN: PC minimum current as defined in FESA 'Setting' property
  • I_MAX: PC maximum current as defined in FESA 'Setting' property
  • currentStep = DEFAULT_CURRENT_STEP = 10 A → 10% of PC I_MAX
  • currentTolerance = Max(DEFAULT_CURRENT_TOLERANCE = 1 A, 1% of I_MAX)
  • DEFAULT_SLEEP = 10 s

Procedure

Step S? short description Criteria
prepare init device status handler
step1 Y FrontendVersionTest
step2 Y GenericConverterStatusTest
step3 check for required FESA interfaces
step4 switch converter to DC mode 'true'
step5 Y read I_min/I_max, check their consistency, set current step and tolerance
step6 Y check initial value is zero |I_actual| < currentTolerance
step7 Y set DC-value to 'currentStep'
step8 Y wait for DEFAULT_SLEEP seconds
step9 Y check 'actual-reference' value for non-zero current |I_actual-currentStep| < currentTolerance
step10 Y set DC-value to zero
step11 Y wait for DEFAULT_SLEEP seconds
step12 Y check 'actual-reference' value for zero current |I_actual| < currentTolerance
step13 Y check that reference setting writes with DC mode 'false' are invalid
step14 Y check that writes on actual value property 'DCValueAcq' are invalid"
lastStep switch converter to DC mode 'false'
(N.B. S?: skippable task: yes can be skipped by operator (or converted to warning in sequencer's 'lenient mode')

Details of Test Steps

N.B. detailed 'cookbook': check list of individual steps (settings, gains, …):

  1. step 1 (pictures, links, and references possible)
    • sub-step 1.1
    • sub-step 1.2
    • sub-step 1.3
  2. step 2
  3. step 3

Step S.x.2 result 2 (as described above)

  1. step 1

Step S.x.2 result 2 (as described above)

  1. step 1

Problems

List of possible problems and first-order remedies:
Hide

  • in case one of the above steps fails while the sequencer is in 'strict' (i.e. not in 'lenient') mode the power-converter is not put back into 'DCmode = false'
  • short-term remedy:
    • execute recovery procedure for given (/all) power converters
    • TODO: add exception handling and 'finally' functionality inside the sequence that is always executed regardless of whether previous tests failed (→ interface needs to be agreed upon)
