Description

• digital stand-alone control system of the latest instrument platform for a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility of test results
  
• Modular system with expansion options, support and long-term component availability
  
• 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
  
• Event detectors for test monitoring such as hardware limits, break detection, etc.
• Control loop optimization by setting the PID parameters in real time
  
• bumpless control switching between all measuring signals
  
• Linearization function of the force channel by means of software optimization platform for easy configuration by the service department
  

Functions via touch panel

• clearly arranged control panel with simple operation in menu-guided dialogue
  
• Control of drive and door interlock
  
• Setting of configuration parameters such as PID values, start-up and set-back parameters, etc.
  
• Operating keys for setup mode
  
• functional, simple and fast parameterization / execution of standardized test programs via test templates
  
• Zero adjustment for force channel (manual or integrated in test sequence)
  
• Real-time display of the force channel, as well as specimen strengths and test speed
  
• Manual switching on/off of the breakage detection in the test sequence
  
• Sample storage for test results
  
• Data export via USB interface
  
• Authorization model with different roles and access authorizations (inspector, laboratory manager, service technician, administrator)
