Controller
EDC580V/Servo Measurement and control electronics for testing instruments in a box without display/keyboard and with internal servovalve amplifier 5-300mA.
This device includes all functions which are necessary to drive and control a testing instrument.
Incremental measurement as position measurement.
Even in the stand-alone-operation-mode, the transducer signals and the results are displayed digitally by the Basic Software. Information about the connected transducers is read back via the sensor plugs in order to identify the transducers and get them calibrated automatically at switch-on of the instrument. A calibration routine in 12 steps to get the instrument calibrated by an authorized institution is included.
Programming of the EDC is done via keyboard and display of the RMC7.
Multifunctional digital potentiometer
for data entry and for driving the crosshead, etc (RMC7).
Ethernet RJ45 connector for communication with a PC.
Digital control output with direct controlling of a servo valve amplifier within the EDC-housing for valves with up to 300mA nominal current, dither signal is adjustable.
4FAD, Amplifier with fast A/D-conversion, 5kHz excitation.
Carrier-frequency-measurement-amplifier for DMS and LVDT transducers (1.16 - 1625 mV/V) and analog signals. Excitation 5kHz, fast A/D-converter ±180.000 steps at 20ms average time, linearity 0.01%, accuracy 0.025%, delay time < 0.5msec, filter 1kHz, sampling rate up to 5,000Hz, suitable for static and dynamic applications.
Remote Machine Control
RMC7 Remote machine control with Emergency Stop, DigiPoti and display.
Remote machine control with 15 keys for digital control of the instrument and for programming; emergency stop; DigiPoti for X-head- and cylinder movement; status-LEDs and LCD-display. The RMC7 offers the same functions as the EDC580, incl. cable (3m) for the connetion to the EDC and magnetic foil for the fixation at a testing instrument.
Software
T&M was developed in a modular design. It consists of the basic software containing a simple but adaptable tension/compression test and different modules for almost all kinds of testing applications. The special module Free Programming offers the possibility to design tests individually.All sorts of signal sources can be displayed. Load, position and strain are standard, but other transducers or calculated results can be displayed, also. Sample diameter, temperature, scales etc. are possible as well as results via I/Os.
Variables are shown as curve in X- or Y-direction or listed digitally. Furtheron, you have the possibility to: change the names of the variables (e.g. load or F), zoom the grafic several times and store remarks within the grafic.If a bigger view of the curve is needed, the graphic window can be drawn up to screen size. Due to the organization in single windows, you do have the possibility, to move important values to a point where you can still see them.
T&M Basic - The basic software with a simple tension/compression test!
-User surface for all T&M modules
