Tires are one of the main components for the vehicle ground interaction. In orderto accurately evaluate and determine the dynamic behavior of vehicles, various tiremodels are widely recognized. These tire models are generated through rigorous testingof tires on various testing machines. A tire force and moment testing machine isone such indoor tire testing machine. The main objective of any testing machine isrepeatability in the testing process. The best way to achieve this is through automationof the process reducing human errors. The M-15, a tire force, and moment testingmachine at UNC Charlotte Motorsports Research Lab uses a high-end programmablelogic controller (PLC) DL-06 to perform various operations on the machine [1]. UsingNI-LabVIEW and Modbus RTU protocol a human-machine interface (HMI) isdeveloped, to provide a platform to enable real-time process control, data loggingand perform automated loading cycles. The M-15 can test tires for a variety of automobilesfrom FSAE cars to light trucks. The test data obtained later can be usedto generated force and moment curves and PACEJKA Coefficients. In this comprehensivereport a step by step procedure to calibrate, measure, test and interpret tiretest data using industrially accepted tire test protocol, will be discussed upon. Alongwith the detailed description and methodology behind the programming process.
