PC Control System and Control Software

PC Control System and Control Software

Control system provides the digital servo control, Wave generation for the axial loading, data acquisition, hydraulic control etc. for the continuous operation of the system.

Signal Conditioning & Controlling Unit controller basically consists of signal conditioning unit and controlling unit. Signal conditioning unit consists of conditioning modules for various transducers (e.g. Load Cell, Displacement Transducers etc.) that receives the output signal from these sensors and amplifies and process that signal as per the requirement and transfer it to computer through dedicated cables where it is accepted by the data acquisition system. The out put from the signal conditioning unit for each transducers range from 0-5V.The controlling unit controls the movement of the RAM with respect to the signal input on feed back basis either from LOAD CELL or DISPLACEMENT sensor.

It consists of dedicated servo-controller card that gives the desired processed signal through the P.I.D controller to the servo valve to operate either of the control modes i.e. Load mode or  Displacement mode. It also sends the signal to computer and accepts the command from the software to operate in desired manner. The system can generate sine, triangular or square wave form and also can accept external input wave form as generated in the field. The programming facility is given to operate the system in STATIC MODE at programmed rate of loading in both Load and Displacement controls. In DYNAMIC MODE the cycling can be done at a frequency from 0.01Hz-10Hz or even higher.
