Data Acquisition for a Magnetic Levitation Vehicle

The main objective of this paper is to discuss the data acquisition of the MagLev-Cobra magnetic levitation vehicle. The vehicle is located at the Technology Center of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It was inaugurated in 2014 and is the first vehicle of its kind to use superconducting levitation in the world. As in other technological systems, it is extremely important to analyze the magnitudes related to its operation and efficiency. In this work, the main characteristics of the MagLev-Cobra are discussed, in addition to the analysis of experimental data of the magnitudes to be sensed.
