NSG 5600

Complex voltage variations, magnetic field test,
sinusoidal burst

NSG 5600. Designed to be used either alone or in

combination with a NSG 5500 system, the NSG 5600

is designed to simulate events that include voltage

dropouts, sinusoidal noise and other events super-

imposed on the automotive battery: Dips and drops,

and ISO and SAE pulse 2b and pulse 4 and other

starting profiles. The NSG 5600 is the leader in syn-

chronized voltage variations, such as power cycling

tests (on up to four FGs) as required by various stan-

dards such as CI 230 defined in the Ford ES-XW7T-

1A278-AB and AC standards. Additionally, the

NSG 5600 may be configured for magnetic field

immunity testing. The basic NSG 5600 includes one

FG 5620 but additional capability may be added

using any of the modules on the following pages.

NSG 5600 concept. Schaffner continues to utilize its

well accepted modular concept of a 19” basic chassis

containing all the power supply components and,

if required, the sinusoidal burst-transformer, the

control and signal bus boards as well as the com-

mon inputs and outputs for the safety circuits and

signals for the expanded control and monitoring of

the test. The CAN-bus, already well known in auto-

motive technology circles, is used as the system bus.

Therefore, as with the complimentary NSG 5500,

Schaffner’s modular concept, new capabilities can

be quickly implemented. Modular and flexible test

systems equal protection of investment for the user.

Schaffner offers rack-mounted solutions with suit-

able internal cabling and mains control panel as

accessories, configured to the user’s needs.

Utilizing the only automotive EMC specific synchronized, multi-channel function

generator (FG) in the world, the software integrates the various system com-

ponents seamlessly into the overall system concept with uniform operating pro-

cedures and user guidance together with a comprehensive test result reporting

facility.

Combined with a power amplifier/battery simulator, the NSG 5600 represents the

most powerful solution for battery voltage variation simulation.

The function generator FG 5620 is used universally

throughout the NSG 5600 for the control of DC

sources and power amplifiers. The AutoStar

TM

soft-

ware defines the necessary voltage/frequency con-

ditions. The controller converts this information

into algorithms for the FG (function generator),

which creates an image of the requirements in its

own memory and then generates the output signals

for the addressed power modules during the test

run. All the requisite waveforms can be created

numerically from the basic functions or by loading

a Clone

TM

, e.g. a memory map of values from a

storage oscilloscope or other external application,

the FG also generates waveforms that can be diffi-

cult to describe mathematically or where real-world

events need to be simulated. AutoStar supports any

external application that can output an ASCII list,

MathCAD or Microsoft Excel, for example.

Every card incorporates a second channel for the

control of a further source with a programmable,

steady state voltage as well as an output for setting

the current limiting of the source. The main output

signal consists of analog voltage of -10 to +10V – a

standard that is used by the majority of voltage

sources. Limits are only imposed by the sources used

for a particular application. For this reason, Schaffner

offers a full range of standard-compliant battery

simulators.

The FG 5620 is a module equipped with a function

generator board. A second board can be added sub-

sequently at any time. The FG 5621 is delivered

equipped with two function generators.

Two of these modules can be used in a system, i.e.

up to four function generators are available to con-

trol the relevant number of sources. All the gener-

ators used are programmed separately and run

synchronously based on a master-slave relationship.

All the requisite waveforms can be easily created from the basic functions or

by loading a memory map of values.

The DS 5630 switches the voltage source through to

the EUT connection under program-control. The

primary input and the auxiliary connection enable

two sources to be used. The DC switching capacity

of 70V/75A is capable of coping with high power

requirements and is ready for the 42V era.

The selectable switching conditions are:

Output (EUT)

Q

to primary source

Q

to auxiliary source

Q

switched off (open)

Q

dip and drop from primary to auxiliary source

and back again

Q

to primary source with 2Ω extra impedance

(SAE J 1113-11 pulse 2b)

Due to the rapid switching times, the requirements

of every standard that calls for drop-outs and volt-

age jumps in the µs range can be fulfilled by using

a battery simulator and an auxiliary source. The

DS 5630 also acts as the DC input for the transformer

coupled sine wave noise or for magnetic field im-

munity tests when high field strengths are required.

Matching the capabilities of the FG 5620, up to

±15V and 5A can be delivered by the power amplifier

module, which means that for many applications –

namely for small 12V component and subassembly

testing – the use of an external battery simulator is

unnecessary. The frequency range and bipolarity

ensure that the module will find a wide range of

applications. The EUT current can be measured and

a program-controlled current limit can be specified.

The PA 5640 also serves as a power driver for the

electromagnetic coils used in magnetic field tests

and as an amplifier for conducted sine wave tests.

Separate current measurements for the two types of

tests ensure correct control of the test conditions.

Magnetic field tests. The NSG 5600 configuration is

expanded by the addition of magnetic field antennae

for the execution of magnetic field tests. Either

simple current loops or Helmholtz coils are used de-

pending on the relevant test standard. The PA 5640

is equipped with a control input for the connection

of a magnetic field measuring sensor for the precise

regulation of the generated field.
