Project Overview
The test system is designed to evaluate large industrial mechanical actuators, leveraging the National Instruments CompactRIO (cRIO) platform for robust real-time performance and reliability. Utilizing EtherCAT communications, the system efficiently controls the actuator, collects vibration data, and conducts advanced signal analysis to assess actuator performance.
Safety Architecture
Due to the high current and voltage demands of the actuators under test, the system incorporates critical safety measures, relying on the cRIO's real-time capabilities to ensure consistent operation and protect both equipment and personnel. The deterministic nature of the cRIO platform was essential to implementing reliable interlocks at the hardware level.
Analysis & Reporting
Comprehensive reports are generated to provide actionable insights from the data. This setup delivers precise, dependable testing for heavy-duty industrial applications, including vibration signature analysis and performance benchmarking under load conditions.
