Integration of MATLAB and LabVIEW for Motor Control Test Bench with Power Analysis

These modern days’ specialists, analysts and researchers uses advanced programming software suites for their research and industrial work in the field of flag analysis of the signals and dynamic system simulation for testing of the Automotive Motors. Among the most regularly used advanced software’s are MATLAB/SIMULINK and National Instruments LabVIEW. In this paper the two software’s are clearly explained with their comparison based on features of the two software’s and also authors explained integrating methods of the tools and implemented the Integrating of MATLAB and LABVIEW with the practical example. This paper aims to integrate MATLAB and LABVIEW together for control MTB and also focuses on methods of integrating MATLAB with LABVIEW for testing and control of the automotive Device Under Test (DUT) motor applications which are more expensive. Many methodologies have been investigated that can be used to integrate the National Instrument Data Acquisition (DAQ) with the LABVIEW drivers with the MATLAB programming. In this paper authors discussed about the YOKOGAWA WT1800 Power Analyzer which is integrated with the Motor control test bench which is mainly used to analyze the efficiency of ECU and Motor characteristics.
