TESTExpress DIGITAL is
McGaw Technology’s new, powerful and flexible digital servocontroller, designed
to meet diverse and changing testing requirements. TESTExpress DIGITAL
differs from other digital controllers in two major ways: first, TESTExpress
DIGITAL uses PC-based hardware, and this enables a low purchase cost, and
importantly, a low maintenance and total ownership cost. The second major
difference that TESTExpress DIGITAL offers is the programming
architecture for testing application development. With TESTExpress
DIGITAL’s integrated test application compiler, you can extend and redefine
controller functionality, a capability that is exclusive to McGaw Technology.
Enormously flexible, chances
are, the TESTExpress DIGITAL servocontroller can run the tests you're
doing today... and the tests your customers will ask you to do tomorrow!
Key Benefits
Direct Digital Control (DDC),
featuring a very high loop closure rate of up to 10 Khz. Features include
software function generation for four functions (sine, triangle, ramp and
trapezoid waveforms), data acquisition, hydraulic controls, digital I/O and
Limit Checking functions.
Provides a single channel of
control for handling single actuator servohydraulic load frames. Signal
conditioning includes two DC Transducer conditioners (1 load, 1 strain), and
one AC Transducer conditioner (stroke). Multiple control channels can be
optionally added to address complex material, component or structural test
requirements.
Exclusive: TESTExpress DIGITAL features a powerful architecture for
testing application development, providing the ability to extend and even
redefine the controller functionality. For example, if your test needs
require specialized waveforms, the facilities with TESTExpress DIGITAL
enable you to redefine the function generators, implementing your own test
function.
The operator interface runs on a
separate Windows 9X or NT PC, and provides comprehensive test monitoring and
display capabilities, and includes the following features:
Real-Time XY and Strip Chart
displays, with user-selectable channels for the X and Y axes. This allows
users to dynamically adjust range and offset of each axis, as well as
auto-range the display. Users can dynamically pan and zoom the display,
including zooming a user-selected region.
Real-Time DVM displays: Users
may select up to four channels for concurrent, real-time display. The digital
volt-meter (DVM) type of display provides peak/valley as well as
time-continuous readout of four channels, in the engineering units the user
has chosen.
Integrated Test Development
Environment: the TESTExpress DIGITAL controller features an integrated
application editor and compiler, enabling rapid application development for
your unique testing needs. User applications can extend and redefine the
controller’s functionality.
