- Control of up to 4 machine frames (not in parallel operation)
- High control stability
- PID controller with DSP processor for control and signal processing
- Handwheel option for easy operation in setup mode
- For program-controlled test execution, data acquisition and evaluation, the PROTEUS MT testing software can be used as an option
- Up to 8 control and measurement channels per controller with 18 bit configured depending on application and machine equipment, such as force, displacement, strain (E-modulus) etc.programmed
- control of the interfaces to the drive taking into account the safety circuit (motor / pump, safety door)
- Support of SmartSensors (TEDS, IEEE 1451)
- LED lights for power and status
Functions
- Freely programmable test sequences for compression and flexure tests in autonomous operation without test software by means of integrated touch panel
