Flexible tester for railcars System design:
■ Distributed test systems consist of a base unit (control unit and measurement electronics) and TPUs (Test Point Units), which contain the test points. The remote controlled TPUs can be arranged as satellites around the UUT.
■ High modularity in hardware and software
■ Later test point expansion on „plug and play“ principle
■ Large variety of application specific test point interfaces
System benefit:
■ Process optimization by reduction of cycle times and track occupation time
■ Reduction of serial production costs
■ Verifiable coverage of the relevant standards, e.g. DIN EN 50343 / EN 50155
■ Reduction of the adapter cable lengths up to 70 %
Usage especially for the test of extra large scale UUTs
■ Pre-fabrication and initial operation of railcars, locomotives, coupled carriages etc.
■ Supplying industry of vehicle components like cable ducts, switchboards, mounting plates, driver desks etc.
■ Flexible usage inside the test facility; centralized and decentralized arrangement of TPUs possible
