As a National Instruments Alliance Member,
AB Controls offers turn-key solutions based on LabVIEW and TestStand products. Our relationship with LabVIEW goes far
back. Our familiarity with LabVIEW and National Instruments DAQ products plus
our experience in system integration makes us the perfect candidate for your
next LabVIEW project.
Here
are some of the past solutions we have provided. Advantages of automated test systems
are innumerous. Most importantly
these systems make operators more efficient. They make the process more formal
and completely objective.
Some of the other LabVIEW and TestStand-based
solutions are as follows:

Automated Actuator Test System:
Our customer is the leading manufacture of
actuators and valves used in mission critical applications. They wanted a fully
automated test system with multiple capabilities all built into one. The
challenge was that each actuator was running at different voltages and had
different interface pin-outs. Also each actuator has a different set of test
criteria. All tests needed to be performed with as little interference from the
operator as possible.
Our system PXI based solution tests the actuators in
many different modes for various functionalities including:
-
Insulation Resistance
-
Dielectric Strength.
-
Stall and Running Torque.
-
Current Consumption.
-
Travel times at various voltages.
-
Limit Switch functionality.
The system is fully integrated with the
corporate database. The shop order is scanned, and the automated test procedure
is looked up from a local database. The test is then performed per test
requirements. Test results are tabulated and a report is generated and printed.
A serial number is also generated.

Automated Test System
for Winches:
Our customer, a well known defense
contractor manufactures Winches for mission critical applications. Prior to the
automated system, they had to run the tests manually, which was time consuming
and very difficult on the operator for data collection. We deployed a real time Field
Point system to control a reaction winch that made the test winch go through a
rigorous regiments of tests. Data for all tests is collected at programmable
intervals.
Also our system made it possible to run
endurance tests on these winches which used to be arduous and very expensive in
terms of man-hour consumption.

Mass Flow Controller, Driver Field Application
Commander:
This is a system that allows up to 32 mass
flow controllers to appear on the same network. The network can be either RS-485
or DeviceNet.
We built a software that was expandable and
covered multiple revisions of the firmware. This software is at use everyday by
end-users and service representatives throughout the world to characterize these
very accurate and precise mass flow controllers. |
