Abstract

Data acquisition (DAQ) can be elaborated as the method of collecting data, and information from the real world. DAQ system widely uses in many electronic and mechanical industries likewise for the automotive industry. For the research and development (R&D) of engine, DAQ system is the most paramount part. It has been used for collecting, storing, and analyzing information from the engine and dynamometer. Furthermore, DAQ system helps to reduce errors and time during logging the data. Another important part in engine dynamometer test cell is the instrumentations. The instrumentations function as the connecting element between measure part and DAQ system. At FKM, UTeM also has an engine testing facility including DAQ and instrumentations. However, there are many problems, and limitations within the systems. These problems include lack of a DAQ system for engine and environment monitoring, lack of signal conditioning to protect the main control board, OPEN-LOOP system, lack of heat exchanger system and separate fuel flow meter and controller. The main objective of this project is to familiarize with the current instrumentation at FKM, UTeM dynamometer test cell and industrial standard instrumentations such as PROTON. This project basically focuses on the study and research on DAQ system, and instrumentations such as the control console, interface processor, fuel flow meter, sensor transducer, cooling system, and detail engine testing standard operation procedure. An ideal DAQ system and instrumentations are to be determined at the end of this project. This project is intended as a method and references for the technicians interested in using a PC for data acquisition, analysis, and control application. The specification of the sensors and other instrumentations is listed as further usage to develop the complete DAQ system and instrumentations at FKM, UTeM
