DIN800V - ±800 V DIN rail-mountable voltage sensor

The DIN800V block is a simulation model included in the Imperix Power library. It implements the model of the imperix ±800 V DIN rail-mountable voltage sensor in Simulink and PLECS simulation.

For more information regarding the Imperix Power library, please read Getting started with Imperix Power library.

Modeling of DIN800V

The DIN800V model has two modeling levels:

• (A) Simple
• (B) Detailed

A generic sensor can be approximately modeled by an ideal sensor in series with an optional first-order Low-Pass Filter (LPF). The relationship between sensor’s bandwidth \(f_{BW}\) and the time constant \(\tau\) of the LPF follows \(\tau = \frac{1}{2\pi f_{BW}}\).

A sensor is modeled as a first-order LPF only if its bandwidth lies within the frequency range of a given modeling level. Otherwise, it is modeled as an ideal sensor. The following table summarizes the information on the DIN800V voltage sensor.

Simulink DIN800V block

Port specification

• The output V is the measured voltage between the two electrical ports.

Parameters

• Use global configurations is ticked when the block receives global configurations from the Config block.
• Modeling level selects the modeling level of the voltage sensor.

PLECS DIN800V block

Port specification

• The output V is the measured voltage between the two electrical ports.

Parameters

• Modeling level selects the modeling level of the voltage sensor.

Probe signals

The following signals can be monitored by a Probe block in PLECS.

• True value [V] monitors the true value of the measured voltage between the two electrical ports in Volt.
• Sensor output [V] monitors the physical output of the voltage sensor in Volt.
